Lucy loves to dig ... dig huge holes in the back yard. She digs up the tree roots, digs up the underground cable, just simply digs holes spreading the dirt everywhere it doesn't belong. Ralphie loved digging too. I'm not sure exactly when Ralphie's digging tapered off...but I'm reliving it all over again. Ugh.
Lucy pulls and pulls when we go for our walks. But maybe not as bad as Ralphie. Remember, Ralphie pulled so hard and took me down to the ground tearing my rotator cuff? Lucy pulls which is a struggle but I'm happy she's not as strong as Ralphie.
Lucy steals my slippers. She doesn't chew them, simply will steal a slipper and move it to another part of the house. I don't know how many times I'm walking around the house with one slipper on in search for the other. Ralphie never did this. He had no interest in my shoes or slippers. This must be a girl thing. LOL
Lucy's energy level is overwhelming. She can run and run and play and play forever. It takes a lot to tire her out. Ralphie was exactly the same. However I had my daughters help during Ralphie's hyper puppy stage. She would run him and run him at the dog park while I was at work. I'm not so fortunate now with Lucy ... I'm on my own to run Lucy every single day at the dog park.
Lucy is over alert ... the puppy alertness. Any sound or any move I make she jumps up or follows me everywhere. Maybe it's the puppy inquisitiveness that Ralphie no longer has. Not sure when this dwindled in Ralphie's growing stage. This puppy behavior is very cute but it can get quite tiring to have a pup on your heels at all times.
Yes, yes I'll get through this puppy stage again in time. I really enjoy Lucy's innocence and getting to know a different personality than Ralphie's.
