Lucky Number 7

Lucy turned 7 years old today.  Just on the heels of her slightly older half-brother, Ricky.

this is what 7 looks like

Ricky was a little luckier with good weather for his birthday, but for Lucy, we had to cut our walk a little short, as it was 14 degrees, and said "feels like 9" on the weather app.  Lucy likes the cooler temps, but we haven't yet gotten around to buying her snow boots, so her feet were a little too cold for comfort today.

So, instead of a day of outdoor fun, we took it mostly inside instead.  She and Ricky have been lounging around, playing with a new ball in ball toy, and chewing on hooves- which Lucy enjoys more than Ricky.

Ricky likes to pose, while Lucy loves to chew on her new hoof.

Awww... the hoof. ❤️ She just can't get enough of it!

7 is going to be a great year for our Ricardos!  We've got the new adventure of moving to Colorado- and all that comes with that: new smells, new dogs and people to bark at, new places to walk and hike, and homes we will rent until eventually we find our very own home to live in.  It's all going to be great, and Lucy is very excited about it. (So is Ricky.)

We love our girl, Lucy, so much.  Not everyone gets a chance to know her like we do.  She is a little nervous around strangers so she tends to bark, and it sounds like she's mean.  But she isn't.  She is the sweetest girl in the world.  Always kissing Ricky's ears and face, ALWAYS snuggling with Fermin on the couch, and always is a great companion on long walks with me---
 just sweet, sweet, sweet.  And I love her more every day.
