Okay, so my husband was looking through previous dogs of the day and found Lucy! What's interesting is that we got a puppy at 12 weeks old from a shelter as well who acts identical to Lucy! Olympia is a black lab so they look a little different but holy cow, their personalities are exactly the same! she only barks when she wants to play, whines if she can't be by people, lays only on the airvents or tile, tries to catch a frisby, understands "want to eat?", licks water off the bath tub, leaves/grass outside and oh yeah, she loves puddles! My husband made me read all about Lucy because Olympia acts just like her!!! We hope Lucy is just as cute as she was when she was a pup!!! Oh, and we are located in the chicago area as well! how ironic!
