Going for walks serves the practical potty purpose, of course, but more importantly for her, walks serve to get her out of garage isolation. Lucy is a social dog, so she thrives on interaction with people and pets. In her world, garage time is lounging time, and leash time is LOVE time. She enjoys meeting and greeting, and often lays down as if to say "I'm not going anywhere until I get to say hello".
This girl played with Lucy for about 30 minutes while her mom drank coffee at Coffee Bean. She told us all about how she wants to be an actress. Lucy listened intently.
In addition to the love we get from people, we have the sniff-and-play dance with most dogs we come across (we walk in an area that is popular among dog owners). She has become so non-reactive that even when the occasional dog barks at her or gets snippy, she ignores it and moves on. She's so chill.
