Lucy's First Birthday!!!

Lucy celebrated her first birthday on Saturday, June 6th. I can not believe that I have had her for a year already. For her birthday I got her one of those big pillows for dogs to lay on on the floor, but put it on the bed next to my pillow. She is having trouble getting comfortable on the bed pillow, as she is 35 lbs! The vet thinks she will not get much bigger. She was the runt of her brothers and sisters. Most female Bassets get to be about 65 lbs. I am not sure why she is so small, even though I think she is so BIG. The other day when I got home, a crew showed up with a jack hammer type tool to bash the sidewalk in front of my door out. Poor Lucy was terrified. She ran in circles, and barked. She jumped up on the bed, and hid her head and front legs under the blankets, still standing on her back legs. She looked so funny. She would run into the kitchen and peek around the corner, scared out of her mind. Luckily, they were quick at their work and we were soon able to get to sleep.
