Long Term Visit to the Kennel



This is Lucy. Lucy is thirteen years old now. Doesn't she look good for her age?! Julie adopted Lucy from a shelter in Columbus many years ago. Julie got married and eventually moved to Florida. Then, Julie and her family moved to Grand Cayman Island. Then, it was time to move back to Ohio, and has finally ended up in Pennsylvania.

You just never know where life may take you...

Lucy stayed at my kennel from April through August. She did remarkably well being away from her family for this long. She got along well with one of my dogs, even when my other dog bullied her. In other words, she made the most of her situation, even though she would rather be laying on her couch with her own family.

This is lesson worth remembering as oftentimes, life gives us situations we don't choose and don't want. Wouldn't the time be better, and maybe even enjoyable, if we simply adopted Lucy's attitude of "Well, I'm here, might as well make some friends"?
