Lucy the Silly Girl
Lucy is a big silly girl most days. Yesterday was no different. We do not have a fenced yard but it is pretty big and it backs right up to the water. It is a small beach on a salt water river with ons of sea shells on the beach. Well Lucy got that slightly crazed look in her eyes and just took off. She ran towards the water at full speed after some seagulls. They made it away to safety, but just barely. So she decided to play keep away, well keep away from me and was pretty successful for a while.
I let her do it because I know she is only really good for about 10 sprints and then she wants to go and lie down. So eventually I got her in the house, sand and all and everyone was pretty happy. Lucy from running around at 5:30 in the morning and me from watching her have a bunch of fun. She is my big therapy dog that way.

Lucy's Story Part II
About a year later I moved away for work and I thought I would never see Lucy again. That was until I got a call from Monica and she notified me that she was had to get rid of Lucy. Once again life had gotten too stressful and the family pet had to go.
In a round about way though, Lucy was still very much my dog. So we agreed that she would ship Lucy out to me. Which by the way, full grown Great Danes don't travel well. She was pretty stressed out and actually bit a guy that was silly enough to stick his hand into her crate. It was while she was being moved from plane to plane.
I saw her getting unloaded from the truck that had brought her from the plane. She was braced on all fours ready to tear someone apart. But when she saw me and my girlfriend Michelle all you could here was Lucy's tail thumping on the side of the crate. I got her out of the crate and she immediately rolled ove on her back with her tail going like crazy. Her eyes were all bloodshot from barking all day. We took her home and after a few days she settled right in with Michelle, me and Kona our slightly nutty chocolate lab.

Lucy's Story
Lucy's Story:
Lucy' is a rescued Great Dane from San Diego, CA. My daughter Rachel wanted a Great Dane so bad. She had been down in Mexico and met a two Great Danes's and fell in love with the breed. Which for all you Great Dane folks out there know how easy it is to do that.
Well anyway, she convinced her mom that it would be a good idea to get a Great Dane and she eventually agreed with the agreement that Rachel would tak care of the dog. So they went to Indian Danes and met with the folks that run that rescue. While none of the dogs that were there that time were a perfect match the folks at the rescue got a good feel for what Rachel, Ryan (Rachel's brother) and their mom were all about. A few weeks later Lucy should up at the rescue and immediately the rescue folks called Rachel. Everyone thought that Lucy was a perfect fit for the family, which of course was true.
I was against Rachel, Ryan and their mom adopting a dog because their mom, Monica had had a really bad track record with pets. Nothing too bad but she never relly grew attached to them and when the stress level would get high the pet would end up being given away. Plus my aunt had a Great Dane while I was growing up and she had some problems involving mini oceans of pee.
Anyway, I met Lucy a few days later and fell in love with her. She would come over when the kids would and she became my dog more than anyone else's.
