Lucy

Lucy, what can I say about her. She is our eldest Westie & is a beast. She goes by many names, Lubers, Gubers & then we combine them at times & call her Luber Guber, then there is Luce, Goose & on occasion McGruber. Well now we can add fierce bird hunter. My sweet, so we thought, Lucy has in fact caught a bird.

Today Brad got up early & decided to go for a run. Which by the way, he doesn't do very often, if at all. But today was the day. The weather of course in Alaska is, well, let me just say, IT SUCKS!!!! Brad & the pups we running very nicely & enjoying the wonderful morning. When all of a sudden Brad startled this little bird which in turn tried to get awhile, but wasn't quick enough for my little fast acting beast to bite down with her oh so powerful jaws. Yes, our sweet Innocent (so we thought) little Lucy got her first bird. So there is Lucy with the head of the bird in her mouth & the wings & body flaring every which way & Lucy chewing. In a half a second Brad in his amazement yelled at Lucy to drop the bird, then he jerked on the leash & said come on. Lucy then dropped the bird & away she went. Have no idea if it is dead or alive. Brad says that when Lucy came home she was just so proud of herself. So for all you Alaska birds, even you Eagles, watch out, because Lucy is on the prowl.

That is my Lucy... Isn't she just so wonderful!!! Oh & that is our other not so fierce Abigail.

OH I coulda thrown him to Mexico! (was only 3 miles away.. it may have been possible) Our sweet, cute, cuddly little RATTERS!
