Who’s that Good Dog?

Lucy on the wine deck

Pet: Lucy the Man Eating Chihuahua (just Lucy for short)

Family: Rob, Carol, Nick, Peter and Elizabeth Rachwald

Age: 13

Breed: Chihuahua and terrier mix

Adoption Story: Rob came back from a business trip and Lucy magically appeared. Despite his reticence, Rob now spends more to spoil Lucy than he did in college tuition.

Likes: Lucy loves to end the day with us on our deck as we have a glass of wine. Despite being a strict teetotaler, she still puts up with us.

Hanging in her favorite place

Dislikes: Canned food. Lucy demands ground turkey, spinach, sweet potatoes and carrots. It’s her version of The French Laundry—only it’s Chihuahua Laundry

Interesting Facts: Though we can’t confirm for reasons of national security, Lucy was the first SEAL Team 6 attack chihuahua. She’s retired now with an honorable discharge.
