This is me with the canine love of my Life. Her name is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (after the Elton John version of the song}. She goes by Lucy and has been dubbed "LucyFur" (get it?) by friends because she comes across as aggressive, but in all honesty I believe she is trying to talk!
She is a Chiweenie, a first generation cross of a Chihuahua and a Standard (not Mini)Dachshund. I color bred American Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds for years (and showed them in conformation and HAD a box of ribbons to prove it), so the possibilities of crossbreeding in this case are tempting and fascinating to me. But I am getting her spayed. She is 3 now and it's past time.
She is with me 24/7 and is absolutely the best, smartest, and most responsive animal I have ever owned.
