Lucy stayed behind with her handler after this past weekend's show and will be with her until probably next Tuesday, when I can pick her up after shows in AZ. It's very rare we send her off - she's only gone with her handler maybe 3 or 4 times, and always for just a short period.
Needless to say it is VERY quiet around here without her! Lucy is a rather loud, boisterous girl and I work from home. I can't complain about not having to worry she will start barking during a conference call! LOL. But it feels so strange to not have her at home. I don't think I could ever send her away for long periods, like some of the specials do.
I just got an update and she is having a blast at her handler's house, playing like a maniac and making sure the boy dogs know who is in charge. LOL. She is very social, so I am sure she's in heaven having other dogs to play with. Lucy loves her handler too and I know she is in good hands.
I've had a Doberman in the house for about 12 consecutive years now. Not having her home also makes me realize how reassuring it is when she is here.
It sure will be nice to have her back home next week!!
