Vicky L. from Connecticut, who adopted blind Lucy from us earlier this year, has been wonderful about sending us updates ever since on the little dog we've called her "Pink Princess." With all the pink beds, toys, leashes and collars Lucy is now endowed with, it seemed like an appropriate name. Well, Vicky just sent us a couple of new photos, including the one above showing Lucy in her new pink winter coat. It has ... yes ... this on the back:

Nothing is more soothing to the heart than seeing these dogs in their forever homes.
You look beautful Lucy!

Lucy has gone to such a wonderful and loving family! She deserves to be spoiled and they are certainly doing a wonderful job with the "Pink Princess"!

Steve and Alayne, once again solid proof that what you do has such positive effects on lives. Lucy came to you, you housed, cared for and loved on her while she waited for Vicki & family to come along to complete their family. What a wonderful update. That is one well loved little princess. My heart sings.

Such a very cute little girl! She reminds me so much of dear Greta (now at the Bridge) from Dachshund Delights, who also had everything in pink, even her Halloween Superhero costume!

I think her name should be, "Precious Pink Princess." She is just so sweet!

Why wouldn't a doggy diva expect to also be a Puppy Princess?

Postively Perfect for a Proper Pink Princess Pooch!

Princess Lucy looks simply adorable! What a fashionista!:-) "Pretty in pink" comes right to mind.:-)
Isn't it just great to know that she has found such a wonderful forever home?

This has to be the cutest picture ever! That pink coat is priceless. Lucy is a very lucky dog to be in this loving home. She must get showered with lots of love, affection, and of course, all things pink!
