Lucy Bug Kross

Don't let her angelic brown eyes, and cold sweet puppy nose deceive you. Lucy is capable of things beyond our imagination. Inside that adorable head of hers is a manipulative mind, full of schemes and tricks that can drive a person MAD! Only joking... I hope!
This four-year-old little fur ball of energy is what enlightens my rough days, makes me laugh and smile, and licks all my tears away. Although she doesn't know what the word 'no' means, or how to 'sit' on command, Lucy brings more joy into our family. We love taking her on family hikes and walks along with our other Jack Russel Terrier, Jack. You should see the two of them in action! Pulling on the leash as if it were a game of tug-of-war, racing to the ball, and fighting for the most attention, or 'love pats'. We love our dogs!
A few summers ago, sometime around my birthday, we decided that eleven-year-old, Jack needed a companion. He had no idea what was coming his way, and he had no way of preparing for this huge change in his life. Lucy keeps Jack young. We got tiny little Lou at a kennel a few hours away. Immediately I knew that she was the right puppy! I spent the rest of my 'relaxing' summer training, feeding, and taking out this very needy dog (puppies are like a newborn baby)
Anyways, Lucy Bug Kross got her name for an obvious reason. She always ate bugs! Every bug that she could lay an eye on became her snack, even though we fed her well. We always joked that if she ever were to get lost, she would survive on bug protein. :) After all the consumed bugs, I am still trying to figure out how she has never gotten sick???
I love every part of Lucy! Her bug eating-problem, her cute brown nose, her baby soft ears, and her ever amazing ability to always bring a smile to your face. Lucy has greatly contributed to the many joys in my life. I am so happy to call her my puppy! :)
