Meet Lucy

She was found on highway 58 near Oakridge, OR over 14 years ago “when she was hardly big enough to eat.” Little Lucy was rescued by Dan Pittman, who brought her right on in to his sewing machine shop in Eugene.

Just two weeks after her rescue, the shop was broken into twice, the door left wide open. Lucy didn’t leave, and she was clearly there to stay as resident “shopkeep.” Her shop, Springfield Vacuum & Sewing Shop, moved two years later to Springfield where she has been ever since, a sweet vision in the window or snuggled among the rows of new to antique sewing machines and vacuums. She is a beautiful Calico who loves to observe the hustle and bustle in her shop, occasionally even strolling into the parking lot for a bit when Dan opens in the morning. She quickly returns to her lofty post, however, keeping a watchful eye on the shop and her visiting friends. Spot celebrates Dan and Lucy, and to her we say: Job well done, Lucy!
