Today our hearts are filled with sadness as we had to say goodbye to our beloved Lucky. We were lucky to have her for 11 years but her time had come to leave us.
Jack has lost his best friend and Amy and I are deeply saddened to see our sweet Lucky go. She had a massive tumor in her spleen that ruptured and we had no other choice but to take the pain away from her this morning. I am remembering all the fun we had together, knowing she had a wonderful life with us and we were blessed to have Lucky all this time - even if the end was unexpected and didn't leave us enough time to let Jack say goodbye.
We rescued Lucky from a shelter in January of 1998 and she filled our lives with joy in Austin and Chicago from the moment we found her. She was kind spirited and spent every night watching over her best friend Jack, either next to his crib or just outside his door. They played together every day and I know Jack will miss her just as much as all of us will.
