Lucy is a Lemon-Color Beagle. She was born January
14, 2012. I bought her at Mt Hope
 swap meet in May
of 2012. I bought her from an Amish boy at the
swap meet. He really was not selling her, but, I asked
if he had any other puppies. When he told me no, I asked
if he would sell me his puppy. I was so happy when
he said he would. I was surprised to see how well
behaved she was, especially for a beagle. Some
beagles can be pretty hyper. she was so calm and
pretty obedient.
I have been wanting a lemon beagle for a year.
Lucy was certainly worth the wait. I actually had a name
picked out for a year. I named her after Lucille
Ball, who I have always admired and found her to be such a great
actress.
I watched all her re-runs of "I Love
Lucy".
Back to my Lucy, The introductory with my other two dogs
was very easy.
My coonhounds took to her pretty
quick.
Lucy adjusted well to my foxes and
raccoons. she also
became very good
friends with my youngest raccoon.
They play for hours together.
What really
surprised me was Darla (my female fox). when she first
met Lucy, Darla repeatedly brought Lucy some of her
food, which was chicken gizzards. Darla would go to her food dish, and pick a piece
of food for Lucy and bring it to her. Lucy
didn't take it right away, Darla was very insistent that
Lucy take it. Once Lucy ate it, Darla went and got
more for her, Darla dropped the food in front of Lucy
and waited until Lucy would eat it. She did this
for about 4 times a day for a couple weeks. I
found it to be a little strange, because,
usually foxes
that are "helper foxes" for another young fox
will bring a young fox
food and toys. I never
seen a fox do this for a dog.
The only problem I had with Lucy is when she would
chase the chickens,
ducks and geese. It
didn't take too long for Lucy to understand that is not
allowed.
As for her barking, she is pretty quiet for a beagle.
The only time she barks a lot is when she sees me coming
home. She gets so excited to see me.
Lucy is
a very affectionate dog and loves attention (as
most dogs do).
Lucy pretty much goes with the
flow. When I am working on the computer,
she will
lay
on a dog bed next to me
Lucy also plays with my other two coonhounds. which is
good, because
my coonhounds were starting to get lazy before I got
Lucy.
When Lucy was younger, she had a black nose, as time
went on her nose turned pink. You can see the change
from the first and second picture to the right, her nose was black.
Don't forget to check out her photo gallery. You will
see many pictures of
Lucy and George playing. Keep in mind, neither one
has ever hurt each other.
In the 4th picture, Darla is bringing Lucy some of her
food.
Darla kept this up until her chicken was gone.
