My Lucas!

Hello lovelies! In honor of National Dog Day, today I'd like to share with you the story of my dog Lucas.

It was two summers ago. I received a text message from my sister, where she told me that her friend from the Miami animal shelter had received a puppy abandoned in a very cruel way. There was a small picture of him. She said to me, "Look at those eyes... he needs you!

Those eyes...

I said to myself I couldn't get another dog because we already had Daisy (my Shar Pei mix), and two dogs would be too much. But even after turning the phone off I couldn't get those eyes out of my head and out of my heart, because I started loving him at that precise moment I looked at that small photo.

After a couple of hours, it was killing me of not knowing what going to happen to him. I couldn't stop thinking about him! The phone number of the shelter was in the message so I decided, "yes!" I think that I had already decided that he was going to spend the rest of his life with me when I first saw that picture. I called and asked if he was still there and how did they find him. The lady told me a heartless woman dumped him from the trunk of her car on a red light in the middle of an avenue on a Miami summer afternoon!

How Lucas was abandoned is a sad story. But for me it is one of the happiest stories of my life, because he came out of the blue to be with me forever.

If you could see him right now, he is glued to me, always by my side, to show me every minute of his life how much he loves me. Lucas shows me the most pure, unconditional and sweet love a person could ever know.

When he looks at me with those eyes I know he is telling me how thankful he is for me choosing us to be together.

Do you have a cherished companion that just warms your heart whenever you see them and is always beside you at every moment of the day? I would love to hear your stories!

Love,

My beautiful golden lion

He is new, or... like new again! I couldn't believe he had so much hair to be trimmed... or cut off. It was sad, because I didn't want to shaved him completely. Somehow I had the little hope that the grooming guy could leave him at least 1 inch, but it couldn't be possible. 
Now that I see him, he looks like a lion, a beautiful golden lion. 
To my surprise, he wasn't acting strangely like he did before, and now I feel relieved. Promise to brush him often, so there will be no more guilty feelings on my side.

All my love, Pat
