Lucy in the foyer with her puppy treat!Lucy is a fat little black cocker that came onto our home in 2000 just before her 4th Birthday. She was obedience trained, but a few months in our lackadaisical household broke her of that. She has incredible hearing, and can hear our cars approaching before we even turn onto our street. She has gotten up and waddled to the garage door before the telltale sound of the motorized remote activating to lift it.
Lucy's life consists of being extremely vigilant in guarding her food bowl. Even Though our property is equipped with an invisible dog fence, Lucy only ventures far enough into the yard to "perform" then immediately scurries back, to protect her food dish from any and all invaders.
She will play fetch, unfortunately, once she has the ball, the game is over, as she will take it and lay on the porch. She is portly to the point that she cannot rollover on her back, so she does a :"half roll", incessantly wagging her stub of a little black tail while waiting for someone to scratch her ample belly.
We call her "loodle Doodle" which I believed evolved from her habit of lollygagging around when called to come in the house. She would take her sweet little time when you were in a hurry to leave, and in contrast, if it is cold outside, she would run out, "perform" and immediately return to the door and start barking loudly, as if we had left her out, unfed, for days on end.
Patience is not her strongest virtue.
I find her most endearing quality her most annoying. She snores like a train, and grunts and snorts like a pig in a pen. Considering her Physical resemblance shape wise, to a little pig, it's no wonder we have nicknamed her, "our little Pork Roll."
Lucy, a fat black affectionate little cocker spaniel whose somewhat annoying bark is far worse than any bite, is our lovable , entertaing little pork roll, who loves us almost as much as her food bowl, but I wouldn't bet on it, Because We love her more than that.
We call her a lot of things, and you can guaranatee that no matter what, the words "puppy treat" always get her attention. She most deservedly has ours.
