First Bath

I'm adding a whole load of work to my scrapbooking realm with the pictures we take of this dog! Today, while I bathed her, Ryan snapped some photos and I must say, he has a knack for photography ;-)

Lucy did so well with getting a bath. Initially I had her collar on so I could hold onto her if she tried to run away. But then I took it off because she did so good! She just stood there and let me wash her! She shook the water off a couple times, which is to be expected. But she seemed to like the bath and she dried quickly since it was so warm today.

I just had to add this great picture of Emily that Ryan took!

And after her bath, she did the preverbial "roll around in the grass" thing that freshly bathed dogs always do!

We had not heard Lucy Bella make a peep in the 2 days we'd had her. But I'd heard that this is common. This morning we had 2 guys coming to install our new pool pump. I had the door open in the laundry room with the security screen closed. I was in the kitchen and heard Lucy growl. I went in the laundry room to see what she was growling at and there a man standing at the door. As I approached, she barked! Her first word :-) I praised her and told her what a good dog she is! That is exactly what we want her to do when strangers come to our door. What a good dog!
