Puppy Loves Her Leash But Not The Walk

Lucy is a chihuahua mix who is all about fun. When she was a puppy she was happy to wear a leash because she thought it was another toy she could play with and that’s what she does here. You can imagine how long her walks lasted when she was a puppy. She was so cute we couldn’t get mad at her for not listening.

We rescued her from the shelter as a puppy and she’s been an absolute joy. We didn’t really know how big she was going to get but it appears she’s done growing. She’s around 20 pounds. Lucy loves chasing anything and everything. Her favorite toys are noisemakers.

To say she’s high energy is an understatement. Even walking her in the morning and playing with her during the day only tires her for a few hours. Shortly after that, she’s ready for round two followed by round three.

These days she loves going for walks. We can’t say that she’s exactly leash trained but at least she doesn’t play with the leash anymore when we walk. Now we use a retractable leash. We are not sure if that makes a difference but it doesn’t matter, she loves the walks. She even wears her cool pink vest now that she’s older. Maybe that’s what has made walking seem less like a game and more of an adventure for her. She puts on her vest now and is ready for her next walking adventure.

Lucy now has a bit of a snaggle tooth which makes her even more adorable.
