Yes, their namesakes are who you think they are. And yes, Lucy responds to her name when said in Ricky’s trademark heavily-accented call: “Luuuuuuuuuucyyyyyyyyyy!”

Ricky and Lucy are two adorable Welsh Corgis who live in Cantonment with their mom, Connie. Two family cats (the dogs’ predecessors) were named Fred & Ethel, so it was only natural that the puppies followed the I Love Lucy tradition. Lucy (the tricolor) is spunky and full of life and energy, always running around and checking on where mom is, whereas Ricky (who’s genetically her brother) is slightly more content to relax and stubbornly do whatever he wants to do. Their distinct personalities had us laughing the entire time!

This is one of their favorite places to be in the whole house, Mom’s bed.

How can you ever say no to these faces??

Laying in the leaves at UWF, Connie’s alma mater…

Okay, this is ACTUALLY their favorite place to be: as close to Mom as possible.

Thanks for a fabulous session, Connie! I’ll be in touch very soon!
