Lucky Dog

This morning my mother informs me that my dog died. I tell myself repeatedly that it is good that he is out of his misery. He was pretty damn old and he was having seizures and lost his eyesight. It was so bad that my mom even wanted to have him put down, but my dad wouldn't let her. He died very soon after the seizures began.

I am just glad that I got to see him again last weekend. He was such an old stinky dog, but he was still my Lucky. (that was his name)

a thought: why is it that most dogs named 'Lucky' are mangy little buggers? mine was.

put together an impromptu barbeque at my bro - bob's house. invited my other brother too. it was nice to sit and relax in the cool day of today.

and returned with yellow squash, green peppers and a green tomato. oh and a couple of cucumbers. I already have a zucchini from the last visit - so now i have to figure out how to prepare it in a way that lauren actually eat it.

look at me... i'm an exciting party animal! it is saturday night!

i'm going to bed.

lucky was, indeed, the perfect name for that dog. he had severe asthma, he had a knack for barking so loud and much that he pulled muscles in his back and couldn't use his back legs for a week, he became incontinant, blind in one eye (then in the other)and was missing teeth (which added to the sewer mouth). but he was a good boy.

My alice just died in march- and I haven't even been home since then, so I don't think it's really hit me.
It's tough. :(

You could make a zucchini stir-fry with carrots, broccoli, portabella mushrooms, water chestnuts and tofu. Yum!

ladycroft writes at 01:52:15 08/05/07 - Comment #21699: isn't that how it usually works? "Lost: dog with three legs, one eye, missing most of his fur, goes by the name Lucky". :) I'm sorry he had to leave you but I'm happy he's no longer hurting.

mk writes at 12:54:45 08/05/07 - Comment #21697: i'm sorry to hear about your dog, but it sounds like he lived a long, happy life!

i have a dog named Lucky too. actually i just posted pictures and she is in a couple of them.

it's interesting to me that of the Luckys that i know or know of, mine is the only girl Lucky. i never thought of it as being a boy name, but apparently we were wrong! considering she's 11, i think it's a little late to go back and change it. :)

hope you're enjoying the b-lo so far!
