Introducing our newest little family member ~ Miss Lucy Lambchop
It is an amazing story of serendipity and how Lucy found her way to us.
We had been considering purchasing two Miniature Pinschers from a breeder who shows her dogs at Westminster Dog Show. She had two that were not quite show quality, and we didn't care, we just wanted to love them. We were about to call to let her we would take them, when Gigi's oncologist called to say that she had rescued a Miniature Pinscher and wanted to see if we would like to adopt her - knowing how much we loved Gigi and missed her. We went to see Lucy (who they were calling Pixie and we had even considered that name for one of the new puppies - another coincidence!) and knew she was ours from the minute we saw her. It seems that we are meant to rescue these little Min Pins (a two hundred year old breed - a cross between a Dachshund and an Italian greyhound - not a Doberman as some people call them), that often find themselves in shelters. We had rescued Gigi, as well. They are very hyper little dogs, with a very unusual and unique personality that does not suit all. They are very protective and territorial and are usually a one to two person dog - very curious, playful and comical.
Lucy has made herself very much at home, in the same spot Gigi liked best - on the fluffy sofa, that desperately needs replacing, in our sunroom. She loves to sunbathe with her blanket. It took her a few days to trust us, but she is now totally Queen Bee of the house.
We feel so fortunate to have her and feel that Gigi had a hand in Lucy becoming ours. She has helped fill the huge hole that Gigi's passing left in our hearts. They are so much alike it is really eerie.
We are head over hills in love with her.
Looks like another little angel has found us!
