Alayne got this photo of our recent arrival, blind Lucy, hanging out with some of her new friends last week. That's blind and deaf Katie closest to the camera, her brother Spencer next to her (of course), and blind Austin the Beagle. Lucy at first was very timid around other dogs, but as I predicted in that blog post about her arriving, it was only a few days before she joined in the canine festivities.
Two days after Alayne took that photo above, I saw Lucy parading around the dog yard with a way-too-big-for-a-Dachshund Kong toy. I still don't know how she managed to get her mouth around it, but she did. By the time I came back with the camera, she had settled down to chew on it:
That's blind Willie on the left. Lucy is in front of one of the big dog houses we brought with us from Montana. The back of it — right behind Lucy — has sliding wooden doors that we can keep open on warm, sunny days so they get a nice breeze through them. When the weather turns brisk, we can close those doors. We try to keep dog beds inside them, but as you can see, usually they get pulled out. In this case, Lucy was clearly enjoying lying on a bed in the sunshine, chewing on her oversized Kong!
