"Lucy just kind of landed in my lap. She’s part Chihuahua and part Jack Russell and came from a puppy mill, where of course she hadn’t been taken care of or vaccinated. She was very small and very sick, she wouldn’t eat or drink, and she was vomiting and expelling worms. When she slept on her back, you could see the worms moving around inside her. It was really terrible. So my girlfriend and I took her to the vet; we weren’t even sure she was going to live. We had to give her shots a couple of times a day and force-feed her Pedialyte from a syringe. She came back like a champion though, and she’s healthy now. She’s the most athletic dog I know. She’s wonderful.
"I didn’t know if I could train a dog, but she’s really smart and I think she’s a pretty little girl. Dogs have a really good sense of time. I've taught her to react to an alarm, so she bugs me in the mornings until I wake up. She's a licking machine. And she knows some hand signals. Training a dog is pretty easy if you’re consistent, if you spend a lot of time with them and give them a lot of positive reinforcement."
