The Great Outdoors

Chris and I have been wanting to go camping for a while now. However, it has just recently started cooling off enough around here that we could go and actually enjoy it. We both really wanted to get away and get out of the big city for a few days. We figured Lucy would enjoy being able to run around outisde since we don't have a yard for her to play in. It was a fun trip and we even got to do some hiking.

Lucy off leash and exploring the campsite
Good Morning Going for a hike...... Lucy needed a water break. And we're off again. Sitting by the lake with Chris. Lucy's first encounter with a lake, pretty sure she would've jumped in if we let her. Pooped out after the hike. Chris and her both had to take naps.
Lucy decided to play rodeo dog around our campsite. Some of the other campers happened to witness this craziness and were quite amused by it as well. At least she was outside this time, instead of in our apartment as usual.

Shaggy the Dog......

AKA Lucy Diamond. We finally broke down and got her hair cut. I was so scared to take her because I thought they would completely shave her and make her look ridiculous. But Petsmart did a wonderful job and she turned out absolutely adorable.

Before......

After......

Happy Halloween!

I always said if I had a dog I wouldn't dress her up but I just couldn't resist. Lucy made the cutest turtle you've ever seen for Halloween.

Class Clown turned Honor Graduate.....

That's right Lucy graduated from puppy school. We even have pictures to prove it. She definitely was the class clown for a little while with her true stubborn nature shining through. However she was able to put her stubbornness aside and graduate with honors. We're so proud...... :D
