John and I have been on a roller-coaster ride the past few months, struggling to figure out what to do with Lucy in our upcoming move. Should we drive and ferry with her for a month of travel? Should we send her to live at Amy's farm? Should we fly her out on her own and board her until we arrive in Kodiak? How will she handle the long flight? Will she like living in Alaska? What if we don't have a yard and have to walk her again in all that rain? Honestly, every night John and I would put the kids to bed and then discuss our feelings on Lucy. We posted an ad on Craiglist for Lucy about a month ago and that just caused the roller coaster ride to get even more wild. Lucy had many playdates, as well as a over-night trial with a family that ended in failure. We were accepting the idea of taking Lucy with us to Alaska when I got an email from the perfect candidate to be Lucy's new mom. And this nice, nice lady did not disappoint. Mitzi is a avid beagle lover who has owned three beagles in the past 35 years. She has a house in a nice area of San Diego with a yard and doggie door. She was almost in tears as she left with Lucy because she was so happy. Her daughter told us that Lucy would be "spoiled rotten." Thank you Lucy for being such a kind dog to our kids. I never had to worry. Thank you Lucy for helping me feel protected when we first moved to San Diego and I felt unsure about our neighborhood. Thank you Lucy for being a part of our family for five years. We will miss you but will enjoy picturing you living out your golden years in the California sun. Megan
