The Ride of the Pink Princess

Lucy and Kendall on bike

Vicky L. from Connecticut, who adopted blind Lucy from us earlier this year, just sent us this wonderful photo of her daughter Kendall taking Lucy for a bike ride. (Please note pink carrier for Lucy, who also has a pink collar, leash, bed and toys!) Vicky wrote, "Lucy sends great big hugs and kisses. She is doing wonderfully! When I say she is part of the family…I mean she is truly part of the family. She goes everywhere with us and still people are shocked to find out she is blind. Her new favorite place is going for bike rides with us. On our really long rides she curls up in the basket and takes a little nap. That's when neighbors along our bike ride are not stopping us to see our little beauty!"

I told Vicky, "That was such a heartwarming photo — it’s hard to explain how much it means to us to see the kind of life Lucy is having after being given up on. Wow. Thank you."

    What more could any dog want than to be part of the family, and a most wonderful, loving one. How very special. This was simply meant to be, 🙂

    OMG…that picture is priceless!! I’m so glad Lucy has found such a wonderful home. I get the shocked look from people too when they found out Levi is blind, especially when we are hiking and he is walking the trail with no leash!

    Oh my gosh, my heart grew 10 times it size seeing this picture of Lucy and Kendall!! Lucky, Lucky Lucy!
    You’ll have to tell Kendall that Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog rides in a special basket on my bike too– and we LOVE going for rides! And also one word of caution for Lucy and Kendall- is Lucy strapped in? I found out the hard way to do that when Frankie leaped out of the basket (pre spinal injury) to chase after a dog– yikes! Luckily we were all fine, but it was pretty scary. I cut apart a leash and tethered it to the basket to strap her in and she is still comfortable too.
    PRECIOUS photo- made my day and warmed my heart!!
