Pup-date



Remember that sweet little black pup Lucy Lu? Well she has grown and right now I think she is mainly a furry food processor with teeth....LOTS OF TEETH!
I started referring to the little ankle biter as the devil dog, but the kids changed it and we now call her "Lucy-fer. " Her day consists of waking up, eating, chewing on toys, pooping outside,
chewing on dirty socks, pooping inside, chewing on clean socks, chewing on furniture, drinking, chewing on us, sleeping (because her chewing was driving us crazy so we put her in her kennel) chewing on papers she pulled out of the garbage, pooping, bothering the cat, attacking our ankles, trying to play tug-of-war with our pant legs, chewing on anything withing 18 inches of the floor, chewing on my kitchen chair legs, and....well you get the idea. It's a good thing she is so soft and cute or we would have killed her by now. It's actually a miracle that no one has tripped over her and fallen on her smashing her to death yet. I'm trying to be patient because I know, having raised two other schnauzer pups before her, that she will outgrow the chewing phase, and will also eventually be housebroken. Her most redeeming quality at this point is that fact that as her fur grows she is turning out to be curly and soft like our Lilly that we lost. I can't bring myself to have her groomed because her curls are so cute!
