A volunteer writes:   Chunky Mama, Rubenesque, pleasantly plump….all apply to Miss Lucy who is the charter member of ACC’s Doggie Weight Watchers.  She’s counting her points in an attempt to lose some weight, but nothing detracts from her beauty.   Her coat is lush and shines with good grooming, she’s easy and friendly, housetrained and great on leash.  She walks slowly (a combination of age and weight perhaps) looking up at each person we pass, maybe wondering if this person will be her new pet parent.  Gentle and friendly, Lucy joined us with her housemate Chucky A1077988 when their owner became too ill to care for them.   We’re told that Lucy is friendly to both adults and children, doesn’t guard her things, likes to be brushed and enjoys a bath.  Lucy slept on a doggie bed in her owner’s bedroom, never has an accident when walked 2x a day and likes to play fetch.  She’s a gentle soul looking for person or family with whom to spend her retirement.   A soft bed, good food, easy walks and lots of love…..that should be easy.  Are you up for it?
