A tribute to my dog who's now in heaven

Tweet

Let's share our love to our pet and remember them always. My Dog, Lucky Lucky is the oldest and longest pet in my family. She is typically loyal, intelligent, sort of greedy (don't like sharing with my other dogs) but very lady like (always eats slowly instead of gobbling her food). My family was never really in to dog training and about all Lucky learns is sit and jump whenever we have food for her. However, Lucky has shown her intelligence in many other ways namely as below: 1) Albeit being afraid of heights, she actually climb up to sleep on the dining table during the cold seasons to avoid the cold floor. 2) Have you ever seen a dog grinning whenever she's happy? Somehow she has manage to mimic a human smile in order to show us her happiness. 3) She has a way of nodding with her mouth opening and closing (no barking sound) whenever we ask her something which is again another form of human mimicking as if trying to answer our questions. The grinning only started around 8 yrs old and the nodding around 10. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? hehehehe..... Lucky was a stray brought to my family by my neighbor after our previous dog passed away. Initially, we were still grieving for our previous pet and didn't bother much with Lucky. She was also not very lovable back then, being skinny with unhealthy fur and having a limp possibly due to some accident prior to joining our family. My mother named her 'Lucky' as she feels that she is very lucky to be brought to us and may luck always follow her from then on. In her younger days, we nicknamed her 'Little Pitiful' due to her beggar like character while being a stray. It took us a very long time to teach her to sit since she will always turn away pitifully whenever we don't give her the food we are trying to use as reward. All this change when a second stray, Happy join our family. As Happy is a male and will never bully a female dog, Lucky becomes the "Big Sister', 'Queen' or 'Dowager' in my family pet ranking. Thru the past 18 years, Lucky remains the big sister among my other dogs (Happy, Becky, Timtim, and Waiwai) and has live a truly lucky and bless life. Now that she is up in heaven, words could not describe all the memories that we had together be it good or bad. I will always love you and always have you in my heart, Lucky...
