Meet Lucy, she is a four year old female German shepherd. Some would probably think it’s too soon to get a pet after losing Bear. I could not handle my house being so quiet and I was getting pretty depressed.
I got an older dog because since I work it’s too hard to raise a puppy by myself. I keep reminding myself that she is different from Bear. Bear and I were so very close and I am hoping to develop that kind of relationship with Lucy.
She is very sweet and I have yet to even hear her bark. She is helping fill the void of loneliness which is a good thing.
i am still very much mourning the loss of Bear and he will be honored in a big way in my home!
Hugz From Blondie and Sweet Lucy!

Ah, Lisa! So glad you’re in good company, again!! I don’t think it’s too soon. Only you know the parameters. GLAD for you AND Lucy!! Looking forward to meeting her!!
She is so sweet,and gentle, you guys will love her
So glad you are saving a beautiful new doggie and giving her a home. Bear is watching and is very proud of you for doing this. I am proud of you and she is lovely.
The new dog is fitting so well!
Lucy is gorgeous, and I don’t think it’s too early to bring another dog home after having just lost Bear. I am curious as to how you got her though, as I believe that dogs choose us instead of the other way around.
The breeder introduced the dogs separately to me and I interacted with them. Walked around with them on the leash. Lucy and I seemed the perfect match. She was the second one I saw.
I am so glad for you and Lucy!!! I think Bear would want you to have a new fur kid and having a new one in no way diminishes the specialness of Bear. And now a new special friendship begins! You inspire me with your optimism, faith, huge heart and willingness to accept everything that life gives and dishes out. Thank you!
Lucy does look sweet and I am certain you two will form a strong and loving bond.
She follows me everywhere, she is so cute
