Antonella,
When I saw the title of this thread I thought you were pulling my chain, because of the title of my thread "Are Knife People Gun People" which you responded to this morning, and my Forum name. But I must just be paranoid.
When my daughter was going to have her 9th birthday she pleaded incessantly for a dog. I was all for it, but her Mother was reluctant, after much lobbying on my part Tara wouldnt be denied the experience I never had of caring for and being cared for by Mans Greatest Friend.
I took a day off from work and took the Kid out of school to go visit the local pound. There we immediately were drawn to a five week Lab Mix Pup and adopted him. On the drive home Tara commented that he was "Lucky to get out of the Pound" and the name stuck, Hes been Lucky ever since.
After he was home for a few hours, and Tara was on Pup Watch, alert for all the things that a pup can do, Tara says, "Maybe this was a mistake". So guess whose dog ol Lucky became?
I guess some of dogdom rubbed off on Tara though, Shes Just started Her second year studying Veterinary Medicine.
And of course Lucky gave me my Forum name. And Ill never be without a dog again.
Dogfully Yours,
Lucky Dog
