*Lacie*

Lacie will be turning 5 in less than a month and it feels like yesterday when I was telling my parents that we did NOT need a dog. I was not much of a dog person before then. It's not that I didn't like them, I just didn't spend much time with any particular dog. Growing up we had a few, but they were outside dogs and I was pretty young and never really became attached. Lacie is an entirely different story. She has turned me into a huge dog lover! I am amazed with her personality and love for our family. She is faithful, loving, loyal, stubborn, funny, and very lazy :). At times it is almost like she is human. I know a large part of her actions are because of my family, but she brings so much joy to our lives. I always look forward to seeing her because it is guarenteed she will bring a smile to my face. One thing I miss about living at home is her! I loved "talking" to her at night and she would always cuddle up at my feet and often try to take over the bed. We still have sleepovers, but I miss not seeing her on a daily basis. SO... here I am 5 years later writing a blog post about how a dog is one of the biggest joys in my life! lol She deserves it!
