He loves playing with his friends whenever he gets a chance. We have had Bella (chow chow) for three years. She is pretty much the complete opposite of Harper. She can spend all day looking out the window huffing and puffing at anything that goes by, even if it is just a leaf. She is still very sweet and looks at us with a cute little face she knows that we love. We couldn't imagine our life with out our "chowdren". They make everything so much better! Glad to know we aren't the only people that talk for our dogs;) We have had Harper (shar-pei/great dane) for five years now. He is such a lover. He has so much trust in us.

She and Emmett are a lot alike... he would be on top of that errant breadcrumb, too. Although, Emmett isn't a huge fan of the muzzle-nuzzles, though Lucas is and it's utterly endearing. HAHA!!!

Most of the time, she has a pretty foul mouth. For example, in a Cockney accent, she politely said, "Would you wanker's mind puttin' a cork in that kid o' yours? The little $*!@ is keepin' me up all night." Also, when ever Cristin or I ask why she did something, regardless of how big or small the incident or action is, she always responds with a cute, slightly "lispy" child-like voice, saying, "Because I'm a beagle!" We always catch a slight hint of playful exasperation when she says it... And yes, Lucy talks. Most of the time, she has a pretty foul mouth.

You dropped a bread crumb on the kitchen floor a week ago and didn't clean the entire room with a mop & bucket? She's going to sniff every corner of the room until she finds it. You're cooking dinner? Despite the fit of rage you fly into, she will rish bodily harm and will weave in between you and the counter in the hopes you might drop something. Are you cold or bored? Then Lucy-dog will be more than happy to curl up in your lap or next to you on the love seat. Have you had a rough day and need to hug someone or something just so you don't go insane? Then pick up Lucy-dog and give her squeezies, kisses, and muzzle-nuzzles until she thinks you've had enough, at which point she'll try to wiggle out of your arms. Did you and your wife just have a baby? May I recommend Lucy-dog to fill the roll of Greatest, Most Well-Adjusted Dog ever? She'll come get you when he makes the tiniest of noises. She'll be patient when you don't give her the attention she's used to, now that you don't always have the free time or energy to play with her. Got a free minute and some energy? Then may I recommend a good game of Throw the Toy Down the Hall into the Bedroom? Lucy will go get it, lay down on the floor, and when you come to get her, run past/through you to hide behind the love seat, which turns into a rip-roaring game of Hide & Seek/Catch Her If You Can. Not sure if another dog being walked is well adjusted? Lucy can tell you from 100 paces whether or not a dog has been properly trained by their human. Based on her studies, the vast majority of dogs have humans in desperate need of being trained. When it's all said and done, Lucy the Wonder Dog can drive you crazy. But when someone she knows walks through the door that she knows (especially Cris, my mom, or me), there is no doubt in your mind that she loves you and is thrilled that your there to see her. As a sign of gratitude, she will bring you a pair of my socks that I tied up for her, and she will allow you to play some Tug O' War. She would also be perfectly fine with you giving her some peanut butter. The little terror may drive me crazy sometimes, but it breaks my heart to think about what our lives would be like without her to give me kisses when I've had a rough day. Best. Dog. Ever.

He is a wounded soul, who was fearful, untrusting, a dog who had bad things happen to him. Now he is a content, happier boy, who is getting more and more confident. We are actually barking at the mailman now, and happily greeting new people when we meet them. He still worries sometimes, esp when we go new places (or the VET). But he is learning to trust us more and more. He is a very gentle dog, and very sweet, esp with children. We are coming up on our one year anniversary of adopting Finn.

But what if that loud machine touches me?? I know, 'WOOF!'." Of course, Emmett would be thinking, "If the vacuum eats Lucas, can I have his dinner?" Lovable pups...
