On Sunday, Jan. 28, it happened again. We were eating breakfast, thinking about what to do with our day -- no house painting since it had just rained and threatened to do so again. The doorbell rang. I opened the door. A woman was holding a dog by the collar, and she said that she found her wandering on Burbank Boulevard, and she had to go to work and had an apartment and ... So we had a dog on our hands. She was (and is) a female boxer, less than a year old, very friendly and polite, with beautiful short brown hair. I'd guess she weighs about 60 pounds, given that I lifted her a couple of times. We already had the best dog in the world -- named Dog (officially Notorious D.O.G., if you must know) -- for many many years, and it's easy to call every dog who crosses our path by that name, but this dog we named Lucy. She has a Lucy-ish look about her, you might say. We got Dog's old leash out and took Lucy on a walk to see if anybody out on the street recognized her. She's a great walker -- no pulling on the leash, and she looks well taken care of. She's very curious about birds, and our pet cockatiel cockatiel Crested, small, gray Australian parrot (Nymphicus hollandicus). It has a yellow head, red ear patches, and a heavy beak used to crack nuts. The cockatiel is in the same family (Cacatuidae) as the larger cockatoo. About 13 in.

I took Lucy in the car (she's a good car passenger, too) to the East Valley Animal Shelter "Dog Pound" redirects here. For the rap group, see Tha Dogg Pound.

This time was no different, except that there were at least six volunteers helping out. The Chihuahua I brought in was quickly adopted, and I hope the same happens for Lucy. She definitely loves people and wants a home. As I said, this is my second visit to the East Valley Animal Shelter, and the experience has been very positive each time. There are many private animal-rescue organizations out there, but none of them does what the animal shelter does, which is take in any and every pet who's either missing or abandoned, from anybody who brings them in. Even if you're just thinking about it, why don't you go visit Lucy. Have a volunteer take her out with you and get to know her. You just might find a new friend. The details Lucy is staying at the East Valley Animal Shelter, which is located at 13131 Sherman Way in North Hollywood. Her number is A853286. You can look her up online at www.petharbor.com.
