Happy Birthday to Lucy-Fur!

Yep, you read that right; today is Lucy-Fur's birthday - she's an entire year old!  Don't tell anyone, but I'm actually sort of fond of the wee beastie.  She's a lot more mellow than Crazy Daisy, and she's not too bad to hang out with sometimes. I have to admit that when Mom and Dad took me and Daisy out to pick up Lucy-Fur, I thought Mom and Dad had completely lost their minds. But maybe they were on to something with Lucy-Fur.  Lucy's birthday celebrations are going to be spread out over a few days, as Mom only took today off, and there wasn't time for Lucy to go swimming and make a trip to the Magic Cheeseburger Window all in one day (so we'll go this weekend!).

Happy birthday, wee beastie!

She's so mellow she'll even put up with the birthday tiara!

Yep, it's definitely a wonderful life!

After enduring the birthday tiara, Lucy-Fur went swimming for the very first time today.

According to Mom, Lucy started off a bit nervous about the whole swimming thing, but she quickly relaxed and started motoring around the pool like a pro!  I'm proud of her!

"Um, so about this swimming thing? You say this is fun?"

"Oooh! Tennis balls!"

"Okay, I can paddle around for tennis balls!"

"Wow! I'm in a sea of tennis balls! How cool is that?!?"

She even got some of those tennis balls!

"Toys, toys, everywhere!"

An overhead shot so you can see her leggies working away!

She even put up with the obligatory ear-wringing!

When she was done swimming and doing yard zoomies, Mom took Lucy's one year 'milestone' photo.  The full family photo will be taken this weekend, but here's Lucy at one year!

And for reference, here was Lucy's two month photo.  Just a wee bit different, dontcha think?

Happy birthday, Lucy-Fur!
