My 11 week break from blogging is over. I have a few ideas in mind so should not draw a blank too soon. How I spent my summer vacation should take a couple of blogs anyhow.
Today Lucky turns 4 so it seems like a good time to celebrate with a few pictures of him growing up.
He came to us in mid-October 2019 as a wee starved puppy about 6 weeks old so we arbitrarily assigned September first as his birthdate. It took about 3 months for Tanya and our vet to nurse him back to health and then he just grew. He is currently about 80 lbs or 36 kg.

He is the most expensive non registered dog in Canada when you add up all the costs of bringing him here. and since we got him here, I think I raised 4 kids on less money that his upkeep. But we are glad we brought him with us. He makes our lives worth while and we love him to bits and he loves us.
I do intend to write a children's book about Lucky's trip to Canada. Maybe I can use AI to make the photos look like drawings.
Welcome back. And a very happy birthday to the beautiful Lucky.
ReplyDeleteHello, EC. Glad you haven't deleted me from your in basket. How is your health?
DeleteWhat fun to see Lucky's baby pictures! He was adorable then, and a very handsome fellow now. I sympathize with the cost of upkeep, though - he must have the appetite of a teenager!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a children's book describing Lucky's voyage - keep us posted on your progress! :-)
Hi, Diane. I will try to catch up on my blog reading one at a time.
DeleteLucky is not that food oriented but give him a squeaky toy and he is yours for life. He gets a $4 allergy pill every morning as he is allergic to something in our house and only Apoquel works. Patent doesn't come off for another three years. It must be taken with food. The pill is hidden in a cheese slice or ground beef and he gets a bunch of treats too. The veterinary bills for just maintenance are high and so are the prices for dried treats. He eats a dish full of regular dry dog food at night.
What a cute little puppy Lucky was! And a handsome dog now. Happy Bday, Lucky!
ReplyDeleteHi, Debra. Today I catch up on your blogs. Lucky was a cute puppy for sure. And when I am walking him, I get comments from passers by about how handsome he is
DeleteHappy happy 4th birthday to Lucky. What a super handsome dog and you are a super handsome dogdad. So much fun to have a dog around. My younger son and family acquired a new puppy last year... Millie.... a sort of poodle / lab cross but she doesn't look anything like a poodle or a lab. She's very cute and very smart!
ReplyDeleteFlattery will get you everywhere. And please do posts of Millie.
