Lucky and the Rooster

Category: Pets | Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:10 pm

We let Lucky and Charity out one night for their last run before bed. After a few minutes we called for them, Charity came in, Lucky didn't. DH went out the front door to look for her, I went to the back door, turned the light on and called, she came to me and came inside. I let DH know. I went to give them a treat and I saw what I thought was blood all over Lucky's face and down her neck, not a lot, just like her fur was tinged with it. Well, the neighbors across and a little up the road from us had gotten a rooster a couple of weeks before. It was always coming in the yard. My first thought, after checking to make sure it wasn't coming from her, was the rooster. Here DH and I go looking for the evidence to destroy it before the neighbors find out. We are each with a flash light, like to idiots, scanning the yard for rooster remains. We found none.
Now I go back to earlier in the day. I was at work and I sometimes bring home buckets from the bakery. They are different sizes and are useful for all sorts of things. I needed a compost bucket for inside so I picked one up and when I got home I set it in back of the trailer.
Back to Lucky. When we found no evidence of the rooster I went back in to clean Lucky up. BTW, her knickname is Lucky the Hog. I got a towel and wet it with warm water, sat on the floor and called her over to me. I made her sit and started wiping the red whatever off of her. Then the smell hit me, it was a very sweet smell. I started laughing like a mad woman and DH said,"What is wrong with you." I had tears rolling down my face and when I regained a little control I asked him, "Do you remember the icing bucket I brought home this evening. He said, "Yes". I said , "Guess what color icing it was, RED." Well Lucky the Hog found the bucket I forgot about and had herself a really good treat. Boy did she have a sugar rush.

Lucky the Dog

Category: Pets | Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 1:06 pm

Imagine seeing Benji, the movie dog, but only weighing about 70 pounds, that is Lucky. She was born to the small stray dog at a store I worked at. She had them under a storage trailer. When they were two weeks old the owner decided to put them in a pen before they started crawling out into traffic. He sent one of the boys who worked there under the trailer to hand the pups out. You would think 5 or 6 pups right. Wrong!!!!!! 12 puppies, the mom weighed only about 25 or 30 pounds. We had decided before we even saw the pups that we would take one. Sarah had never had a puppy and she wanted one. When they pulled that many out we decided to take the pup then and bottle raise it. Lucky has been a joy, she is very protective of the girls. I think she would bite someone's throat out if they tried to hurt one of them, even though she is not aggressive. She is 9 years old, I think. She is slowing down a bit, she has arthritis and is a wee bit overweight. I am hoping we have many more years with her.
