my dog-sister went to the comfy couch in the sky this week. lucy was my folks’ rottweiller and she was probably a better daughter than me (although i have yet to kill any one of my species). she had a great big old heart to go with her great big old body. the first time we met, i brought the evil tokio with me. it took her about 15 seconds to put him in his place and i don’t think he has ever gotten over it. i can honestly say that tokio has had his ass kicked by the finest. lucy had many talents but the biggest one was that she made my mom and dad happy. her sweetness will be missed. 
keep in mind that the aspca is having their easter pet pictures at calloways this saturday.one of my favorite pictures ever is tokio with a very flustered santa. i will be making baked goods and my friend rhonda takes great pictures!
