For Lucy (don't worry this is a happy story unless you are a tree rat)

Lucy is a two year old mutt. She is part terrier and part crazy. Someone left her in her infancy at a dumpster in Meridian, MS. She was taken to the pound and adopted my my Aunt and Uncle. When she was a small puppy, her first summer, I played a major role in raising her as my Aunt and Uncle were out of town and I was in town to work for the MS AG's office.

This week, I got news that made me so proud of my little baby. She killed a squirrel. Lulu, as friends and family call her has been on a mission for more than a year to "get the squirrel." She has succeeded, and I am strangly incredibly impressed and proud of her accomplishment. I can only imagine her great sense of accomplishment and the way her nub (what is left of her tail) wagged.

I am not there to congratulate her personally, so all I can do is sing her praises on the internet. So anyone reading this shold remember lucy and her first kill. If you are reading this and you are a squirrel, be afraid.
