It was a truly exciting day for us and especially for me as Lucy is the first dog I&#8217;d ever owned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming home from work has never been the same with an overjoyed puppy greeting you at the door before bringing a toy over to play. Having her come over and lay as close as possible to you on the sofa on a cool night is equally heartwarming. While there have of course been challenges over the past year (including but not limited to toilet training, teething, an ear and eye infection, a bout of fleas, a scary attack in a dog park, a couple of hair matts, all along with her general timid nature around strangers), she is so much a part of our lives now that I can&#8217;t imagine it any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Above is a compilation of video and phone footage the boyfriend and I took over the past year, from Lucy&#8217;s very first day until just a few weeks ago. I also have a bunch of photos below because I&#8217;m a dog parent now and I can&#8217;t help but show off her cuteness ^_^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/IMG_0432.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"880\" src=\"http:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/IMG_0432-587x880.jpg\" alt=\"A year with Lucy, the Japanese Spitz -
