It's Lucy's first Gotcha Day!

One year ago, we would not have guessed Lucy would come into our lives.

Before she was gotcha'd. She would spend hours in our backyard.

This is a photo from one year ago today, when she crawled onto my lap after being spayed. (I admit that I was immediately a goner and knew she would become ours!)

Two days later, after coming inside from the porch.

A few days later, playing with the catnip apple.

She's gained weight, her fur is thicker, softer, and darker, and her personality has bloomed! She's loves attention, pets, laps, and her people. Ringo and her are BFFs. And, as I learned recently, she's an excellent kitty nurse.

She's smart, a little stubborn, and curious. However, she's a devoted girl and nearly always in the same room as Jim or I.

We're sure glad you came into our lives!
