Lucy
Here you are, the first time I ever saw you, 10 weeks old, sitting under a shelf at the breeder's kennel. You were the cutest puppy we'd ever seen! Willson immediately chose you as her puppy. Okay, so you were very shy and didn't want to hang out with the other puppies, but you immediately loved Willson. She'd been planning on finding you for several years, ever since she first saw a Berner in Nantucket. We'd driven up to Greensboro, NC to meet you and bring you home. It was a very happy day.
Here you are, so happy to be sitting in your new mom's lap for the first time. Soon after I took this picture, we put you in the car with us and began the drive home. You were Willson's first child and she was a wonderful mother for you!
Here you are, with Willson, arriving in Nantucket on the ferry from Hyannis. I think you loved Nantucket as much as any place you ever visited. Maybe it was because the weather suited you so well, or maybe it was the beach. You really loved the beach and digging in the sand!
Sometimes you would come to spend the night with me, even though I wasn't allowed to have you in my building. You would hang out with me, no matter where I was. You especially liked sitting in my chair and on the sofa in the living room. Remember that time you busted me after I let you sit on your mom and dad's sofa at their new house? That was funny.
Lucy, I will miss you more than I can even imagine right now. Even though I am very sad, I know that you were one very happy doggie with your mom and dad. Here you are with them at my house the first Christmas after they met. We are all going to miss you very much. I love you, Lucy!
Here are some pictures of the Cathedral of St. Philip.
In just a few weeks, these trees on the Cathedral property, right on Peachtree Road, will be in full bloom. I'll take a photo then so you can see how beautiful they will be!
All my friends went swimming before we had lunch and birthday cake!
Birthdays are so much fun! Eating cake isn't bad either!
