The Littlest Farm Dog

Meet Lucy, the littlest farm dog.

When we built our house a couple of years ago, I told my husband I wanted to get a lap dog when we got settled in (after all, Mia was trying to be a lap dog at 55 lbs.).

I called several Humane Societies and visited a couple of them to check out their selection of dogs, looking for a small female dog. While I was at the Woodford County Humane Society, I was told if I left my name, phone number, and a description of the kind of dog I was looking for, someone would call me if they got something in I might be interested in.

Several weeks later, I realized that I had forgotten to leave my phone number and took the opprotunityon my drive home to call the Woodford Humane Society. I asked if there were any small, female dogs available for adoption and was told they had just gotten a Min-Pin in about an hour before I called. I immediately stopped by to look at the dog.

I had wanted a Min-Pin, but they can be expensive to buy and I couldn't turn her down when I saw her bounding around the room chasing the kittens. Lucy was mine! She hadn't even been processed yet, so I couldn't take her home with me until the next day, when, to my surprise, she seemed to know that I was her new owner when she saw me coming into the building and started yipping and trying to find me.

Lucy weighs all of 8 lbs. and has become known around our place as the littlest farm dog. She is a great lap dog and snuggles down under the covers when we go to bed.

Lucy and I are perfectly matched which can only be the work of God.
