More: We raised Labrador retrievers many years. When we got Lucy 13 years ago, we knew from day one that she would be loved as much as the bigger dogs. She has been so attentive, loving, and playful - even now! My husband and I are 75 and 73 years old. We knew for many reasons that if we were going to get a puppy that now is the time. Lola joined us 2 weeks ago. Again, the little westie stole our hearts! Lucy has warmed up to her and finds Lola as her little shadow. She has learned so much from Lucy in this short time. We are looking forward to many fun moments with our girls!
