Faithful Friend

16 Years ago our neighbor in Hawaii found a stray dog running the neighborhood.  She brought her over to ask if we may know the owner.  Of course we didn't, but Sadie and I fell instantly in love with her!  We offered to take her to the animal shelter later that day since our neighbor had plans.  As the day progressed she embedded herself into our hearts even more.  When we dropped her off we asked if we could adopt her if no one claimed her.  We had to wait 2 weeks and during that 2 weeks we went nearly everyday to visit her.  The call came from the shelter and she was unclaimed ~ do we still want to adopt her.  YES!!!!  We felt Lucky to have found her, so we gave her the name LUCKY!
We could never have found a better dog and she blessed us with with pure joy for 16 years.
She is a well traveled dog - found in Hawaii, moved to Italy, then to Oklahoma, and onto Kentucky. 

Sadly, exactly 1 week ago today she took her final breath of life.  My heart has a huge empty space where only she could fill it.  We found a beautiful place in the sun to bury her.  Perfect for her since she loved to sunbathe.  Her final days were so hard to watch as she gave up food and eventually water.  We watched her become bones and just spent every opportunity to hold her and love her.  She gave me and my family some amazing memories.  I will cherish those always!

I love you Lucky Girl!



Best Friends ALWAYS!
