And then Lulu....

I really didn't want 2 dogs but Tucker was just so lonely when he was at home w/o his buddies at day care. I knew my breeder had a 2nd litter of pups she co-bred with a friend and suspected they were all gone. I went to her web site and saw she had one female pup left.

There was Lulu, big white face and huge ears and I knew immedaitely the breeder would have a hard time finding a home for her since she sends most of her dogs to conformation homes. Lulu clearly wasn't breed standard.

I kind of hoped when I went to see her one of the beautiful merles from her earleir litter might still be available , but no.

I picked Lulu up, she looked at me with those big brown eyes, since it was nap time and all her brothers and sisters were settling down for a nap, she put her head on my shoulder and went to sleep.

She was so docile I was kind of worried. The breeder was right, her personality is a great fit w/ Tucker and that precious white face and forlorn brown eyes continue to break my heart on a daily basis.

When you look into Tucker's eyes, he's very self assured. Lulu, although far from helpless, looks so vulnerable. She will be bigger than Tuck but I suspect one look in her eyes and I will always think of her as a little waif. I think it's the black eyeliner under her esye on that white face.
