Lucy has turned the living room into her new command post. Every afternoon she sits on a chair placed by the front window and keeps an eye on everyone that goes by. 🙂 We don’t have any furniture in the room yet {just a bunch of boxes and random building supplies} but I imagine as soon as we get a couch in there she’ll move right in. Ha! Dogs are so funny.

Have a great Thursday everyone,

♥ Mavis
