Lucy is One Year Old!

We got this cute little puppy last July 28 but she was born on June 3. She is now one year old! Here are some pictures of her puppyhood. She was so cute and so small when we got her. When people would see Lucy, they'd first remark on how cute she was. Then they'd say, "You got a Lab. What were you thinking?" Or, "You got a Lab. Do you know what you are getting into?" I had never had a dog before, so the answer was no. My boyfriend had a bit more experience with dogs than I, but he hadn't previously had a Lab.
We kept saying we were getting a yellow Lab, but then I realized her official breed had a longer name: Labrador Retriever. What about the retriever part? According to all I read, it meant they were good hunting dogs, used to retrieve birds for hunters. So I bought her a mallard duck to hone her instincts.
She looked so sweet when she was asleep!
One day early on my boyfriend washed his Jeep on the driveway. He took out the cargo liner and washed it. That's when we discovered Lucy loved water. She used the cargo liner as a swimming pool.
Rambunctious puppy had to be settled down by being squeezed between my thighs. Look at that face!

Apparently blogger only lets you post 5 photos per post, so this will be continued.
