Losing Lucky

Losing Lucky...not an easy feat! I loved my Lucky, a sweet yellow lab. Only 7 yrs with our family; growing with my sons. Losing Lucky..just not ready for that loss. Lucky was my helpmate with my sons; helping teach them responsibility and helping me..help them with so much. If one of them was 'blue', Lucky would nuzzle them and jostle them out of it...a smile would surface and even a laugh. He was right beside me in the kitchen & later in the evening, the kids tucked in..Lucky sat nearby as I relaxed after a long day. Losing Lucky is one of the life experiences that tugs at my heart at the most odd times. Tearing up the other day, I wished that time would have ..could have paused for a moment. Losing Lucky..just a small loss, a pet; but for our family quite a pain..in the heart.
