Introducing Lucy & Ethel

18 years ago

Sometimes things happen for a reason. Our Vet called us earlier this week. She had a client that was looking for a new home for her two doxies. The client's husband had been diagnosed with cancer and they needed to find someone that would take both the dogs together. They have been together since they were both young puppies. Out Vet was keeping them until she found a home for them, so she brought them over(she just lives a couple of blocks from us). She also brought their papers.

Of course we fell in love instantly. We were looking at there papers and discovered that they were from the same breeders that we had used for Sophie and Gracie. Then we looked at the DOB's and realized that they are the litter mates of Sophie and Gracie.

Lucy is the younger one at almost 9 months, but she is also the bigger one. She is considered a standard, just like Gracie was. Ethel is the oldest at 13 months old and she is just as small as Sophie was.

Lucy thinks up the plans of mischief and Ethel follows in her footsteps, just like the TV show. We will probably change there names since my DH doesn't like the name Ethel.

In the pictures, Lucy has the red collar and Ethel has the purple.

We know that we can never replace Sophie and Gracie, but this just seems to be the right thing to do. There is laughter in our lives again thanks to these two little girls.

    This story just amazes me. What are the chances of finding Sophie and Gracie's litter mates!!!???? So happy for you and your husband, you guys deserve happiness!!!

    I like the name Ethel. She looks like an Ethel.

    How lucky for you and your dh, and for Lucy and Ethel! It seems that this was meant to be.

    What good news that is! There is a reason for everything, and you are definitely due some blessings, and the blessings found you!

  • 18 years ago

    I am so happy that all four of you found each other.

    Just a question. How can they be litter mates if they are different ages. Or are you saying that one of them was in the same litter as you Sophie or Gracie, etc.?

    They are adorable. Maybe you could just change Ethel to Ethie.

    How about the name Elvira, that is what my doxie is named. I am so happy that you finally got some happiness at last. Wish you many years of bliss together.

    Your angels sent their sisters to bring joy back to your lives. How very sweet.

    They have both settled in here great. To clear up the confusion about the ages, Sophie & Gracie were not litter mates, hence the age difference. They came from two different breeders which makes it even more amazing that Lucy & Ethel ended up together also.

    I love hearing the sounds of tags clinking, paws running on the floors, and yes even there snoring again. There appearance is almost identical to Sophie & Gracie as are there personalities.

    Thanks everyone,
    Linda

    Omigosh, they're so cute! I don't believe in coincidence, so yes, things happen for a reason. Lucky you! Lucky Lucy and Ethel.

  • 18 years ago

    Cute. Don't let them try to get jobs in a candy factory!

    Socks, I popped over from the cooking forum to read these comments and nearly snorted soup up my nose when I read your comment. Who can forget that episode. Maybe the pups would like vitameatavegamin. Lucille Ball was a genius.

    Oh yeah, vitameatavegamin! So funny!
