What is your full name? "Lucy," aka "Lucy the Goose," "Lucy Goosey," "Lulu bean," "Lucy the Wonderdog," etc. My mom is big on nicknames.
Age? About 4 but mom says I refuse "to give up petulant and childish behavior," whatever that means.
What is your favorite place to walk? I like keeping tabs on my neighborhood: the cats and dogs, the squirrels, the ducks in Lafayette Park. I walk my beat multiple times a day to keep up on all the action, and to make sure I don't miss any good sniffing spots. I find new sniffing spots pretty much every time I go out, and they're all pretty interesting. Lots of times I find leftover food near one of the restaurants nearby, and that makes for a great walk!
What is the tastiest treat? I really really really like any dog cookies with frosting. I like to lick off all the frosting before I eat the cookie. I'm also a big fan of cat food, and my mom gave me the job of cleaning all the cat food cans for recycling. I'm a rockstar can cleaner!
What is the one item you couldn't live without? I always need stuff to chew. My favorite is an empty plush skunk that holds an empty water bottle for chewing. I LOVE empty water bottles! I also love de-stuffing plush toys. I can cover an entire area rug with the stuffing from a single toy! Recently, Mom bought me a 2 foot stuffed Homer Simpson doll at Goodwill. I should have the entire thing emptied out in another few days.
Car rides or belly rubs? Car rides. I always love going for car rides, and mom takes me on road trips and buys me fast food hamburgers as a special treat. Car rides are best when the windows are down. I like tummy rubs, but I was pretty shy when Mom adopted me, so I'm just now getting more comfortable with tummy rubs.
Who is a famous dog you most idolize? Truthfully, I don't pay much attention to other dogs, and I'm pretty sure I'd be the best anyway. Mom idolizes that Just Jesse on youtube and wants me to learn more tricks. I'm cool with that, because I get treats when I do my tricks.
What is the most embarrassing thing your person has made you do? It's a toss-up. When it's super freezing I have to wear a sweater outside, and I can't wait to take it back off! At least Mom promised not to buy me a Nebraska Cornhuskers jersey for football season. But she makes me take baths, and it's embarrassing to go out smelling like lavender instead of like me. I'm pretty good at finding stuff to roll in, though, to undo that girly smell after baths.
What do you really think about the two cats you live with? The black one, Nando, is actually OK. We look out the window together and he lets me chase him and give him kisses. The Siamese guy wants me to leave him alone, but that's hard. I love their new food, though, and I take my job cleaning those cans pretty seriously.
What is your most mischievous moment? I don't think I've ever done anything mischievous, but Mom was pretty mad the day I dug her Tory Burch shoes out of her gym bag. Something about them being new and expensive. She was also mad the day I chewed her flip flops, another day I chewed a pen on the carpet, the day I chewed her leather gloves, the day I chewed a comforter at grandma's house, the day I chewed her favorite work shoes, the day I chewed the same shoes after she had them repaired....I just feel better chewing. If it makes me happy, I'm pretty sure it's not mischievous!
