Most of you must’ve been familiar with the new member in our family, Lucy Loo. I often post about her in my IG account, sometimes in other socmed sites although not so often to avoid my mom knowing about it. Yes, as a devout Moslem, she would be quite dissapointed (or annoyed?) with Lucy’s presence in our lives. Many people, my mom included, believe that as a Moslem, you shouldn’t have dog in your house. I don’t understand this concept though. After some traveling abroad, I am almost convinced that this concept is more cultural than religious. But I don’t like seeing my mom being upset for what I see as a small thing, so I decided to keep her in the dark about Lucy.
That’s quite unfortunate for her though because Lucy is such an adorable being. Totally opposite of her rather scary all-black look, she’s very, very sweet. Polite may not be the right word, but I’ve never met a dog with such a good and gentle personality. She doesn’t really drool (yaiks!), doesn’t bark, doesn’t jump. She follows orders (most of the time), comfortable with strangers or new space, okay with vet or car trips. And lately she’s shown us her playful side, which is very cute. I have to admit that she’s much more than what we expected. I did ponder a lot about adopting a dog because it could be handful. Do we really want to have such a big responsibility? Well, it turned out that adopting Lucy is one of the best life decisions we ever made! Here are a few personal reason why it is so.
