It sounds like Anchor may be chasing Lucy because he thinks she is in heat. Lucy is not receptive to his attention because she probably is not in estrus quite yet. This should resolve in the next few days as Lucy moves through her cycle. If it does not discontinue it could suggest an underlying hormone producing ovarian mass and you will need to have Lucy checked out by a veterinarian.
