Lucy was a bit older when she came to us—she was close to one year old. The transition for her wasn’t easy, so she was very quiet and wary when she arrived. But it didn’t take very many days before she just couldn’t resist the sheer love our ladies lavished on her.

Nowadays, she’s the life of the party, often making us laugh with her clever mimicking and new “tricks” that seem to come up every day. She loves being outside and is a good “big sister” to all the other kids.
