My dog is named Lucy
We got her as a rescue a couple of years ago and I was ELATED. I had been begging for a dog for a long time but my family had allergies and a dog was too much of a commitment for them at the time. But, my mom said if I did allergy shots for a few years, she would let me. After all of the articles about breeds of dogs and why I needed one (srsly, hmu if you need any convincing articles about why you need a dog, I've got TONS) and crying forever about not having one, hits started popping up from my mom... "Hey, honey. My friend is getting a dog." "Who?" "No one you would know." "Well, what's she looking for?" "I think a hypoallergenic dog. What's your favorite breed?" and "Would you guys be okay with getting a big present early and having a small Christmas this year?", other stuff like that. And as always, Christmas never got smaller (I don't know why they ever bothered saying that, I mean, Santa, right!?) Anyway, one day my parents said we were going hiking. I didn't really want to go, but I gathered my gear to go. We like hiking and all have pretty nice gear, so we had a lot. Thankfully I brought a change of clothes because I hated the outfit my mom made me wear to hike in and I'm glad! We went opposite the mountains (We live fairly close and have a house up there) so I was confused. I knew they lied, but I still was clueless about what we were doing. There was a theme park really close to where we were going, though, so I figured that was the surprise, but why would they tell us we were hiking and bring all of this gear? Moving on, my mom asked us to drop her off at Home Depot which was next to PetSmart (We didn't get our dog from there, that was just a dog -friendly place we could meet up at to pick up Lucy.). My dad drove my brother and me to Starbucks for some treats, so the day was already fabulous! After we drove back and pulled into PetSmart. My dad said my mom needed to use the restroom, but I knew he lied since Home Depot has to have one! We got out of the car and right as we got to the door my mom walked out with a puppy on a leash. Her name was originally Gabby but we changed it to Lucy because we had always decided if we had a puppy we'd name her Lucy (for a girl). She was six months old and didn't know her name, so that's why we changed it. She was horrible at first (she wasn't trained AT ALL) but now she's the best, sweetest puppy ever and LOVES everyone and everything!
