She is a Mongolian Puppy

After some long and difficult conversations, Cady and I have come to a decision. Because Lucy is a Mongolian puppy we feel it is best to make sure that she stays a Mongolian puppy. By that, I mean we have decided to begin looking for a good, new, Mongolian home for Lucy.

When we brought her into our home we agreed that we didn't know how long she would be with us. Our only goal that night was to give her a warm place to sleep and a little bit of love she probably had never had. Each day Cady and I have talked about what we will do. Do we keep her for our 2 years here? Do we keep her through the winter? Do we keep her until her strength returns and until we can find a good, Mongolian home? We have finally made a final decision. We have decided to post signs and begin looking for a family that needs a haasha puppy.

Lucy is, after all, a Mongolian dog. The longer we keep her the less prepared she will be to live like Mongolian haasha dogs do. We cannot soften her up. We cannot domesticate her.

Thank you to those of you who have gotten Lucy gifts. I'm sure she feels your love and appreciates it. As to whether or not you should send them? Well, I can't tell you how long she will be with us. She may be with us another couples days. She may live with us for weeks or months. We just do not know. We hope that we can find her a new home as soon as possible. Therefore, we leave it up to you what to do with your gifts for her.

Cady and I both love Lucy and have found this to be a very difficult decision. We believe that Lucy has come into our lives for a reason. She has given us much as we have given her much. It will be hard for us to say goodbye, but we believe that it is necessary, that it is best for all of us.
