I say that Lucy has made me a better person and she has actually "socialized" me more than me her. I have always had people who got to know me tell me I have an intimidating, less than come hither look until they get to know me. I think I was just actually so self-absorbed I wasn't aware of others. That has changed over the past few years.
Having Lucy, she is such a love bug and draws so many people with her wagging wiggle butt-she gets so excited to meet people and wants to kiss them that it's just not in the cards for us to be aloof...lol. I have to admit that since I've had her I notice the light and smile in people's eyes when they see her that I enjoy sharing her with others-I would have never thought that possible! She especially loves children and if they want to pet her, I let their parents walk them over and they are very gentle with her. It lightens my heart to see how gentle and smiling they are.
I guess she's turning me into a social butterfly in my old age
