(Wo)Man's Best Friend

Santa and Lucy

If you happen to be a follower of Life With Lucy this will be a familar face, if not, let me introduce you to Lucy. She is a three year old Goldendoodle and a very important part of our family. On her recent visit with Santa, she managed to take over his chair but Santa didn't seem to mind.

I talk to her when I'm lonesome like;
and I'm sure she understands.
When she looks at me so attentively,
and gently licks my hands;
then she rubs her nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that.

Lucy is so cute. What a great picture. I wish that I wasn't allergic to dogs. :(

We are supposed to get snow this weekend, I'm so excited. I haven't seen much snow in my life. :)

Lucy is so pretty. Is that Golden Retreiver and Poodle?

I'm in love! She looks so much like Scooter...it is amazing! Tell Lucy I said Merry Christmas and give her a big hug if you can keep her from licking your face off!

I saw a great sing one time...it was a silhouette of a dog with it's tongue out and the caption was:

"Warning...Dog can't control it's licker."

You have the best of both worlds with goldendoodle. That is neat. I really like what the poodle breed does to make another breed so warm and friendly.. I have a friend that has a black Labradoodle, the standard size of poodle part, and she is such a sweet baby. I think that picture is the greatest and the story still make me laugh, especially since we live in a dog center world here.

Lucy must be very very special --especially since she managed to take Santa's chair.... Wonder if Santa will let her ride with him on Christmas Eve on his sleigh??????? Cute Doggie, Sunny!
Hugs,

Lucy looks so happy with Santa, what a great shot you got! That poem is really touching, makes me wish I had a dog.

Those goldendoodles are the cat's meow ( :

Sunny said...

Lucy and I thank you for all your kind comments.
Goldendoodles are Golden Retriever and Poodle. They are not suppose to shed (ha-ha-ha!) and they are a good pet for people with allergies.
Happy Holidays!
Sunny and Lucy

Lucy looks so comfortable sitting on that chair. Did Santa give her a toy?

She is precious, Sunny. And I bet she is a wonderful companion that gives you a lot of affection and joy.
