Lacey 05-290 [1]

9/19/05: Meet Lacey. This sweet girl arrived Friday full of energy and ready to party. She seems relieved to be free of the shelter and anxious for some long-awaited TLC. She was also ready to have a name so "Lacey" it is. This girl's history is unknown because she was picked up as a stray prior to her time in the shelter.

The introduction to my resident dog was impressive. They sniffed "hello" and it was off to the races running and playing in the backyard. Lacey walks with pride - her head up and tail wagging. She's not skittish or nervous at all. This beautiful blonde girl LOVES people. She loves to be petted and will insist upon it by putting her head under my hand on her own. I think she'd be happiest sitting around being petted all day long.

This is a vibrant, loving and seemingly healthy girl. We're going to the vet this afternoon to make sure she's up to date and to get an estimate on her age. The people at the shelter thought her to be about 5 years old.

Lacey's knowledge of commands is limited but she's very responsive and eager to please. So far she's been a joy to have around and I'm sure will make a great addition to her new family. More to come after the vet and as I get to know this sweet pup.
