Lucky the Dog

This is Lucky, an Golden Retriver that turns 8 today, and I felt like celebrating him with all your Imgurians with a little bit of his life in pictures.

Lucky belongs to my parents, but he is the family dog even if we don't live at home with him anymore :)

(Sorry about the pictures & gif quality at times, not everything was taken with cameras)

The story of Lucky begin's like most stories does, at the beginning :D
Here he is as a young puppy, enjoying his first summer in my parents garden......and wondering who someone is standing there looking silly with a camera.

Whats this ?, a moving bed! - A sign of things to come

Of course, as anyone knows, especially those with pets, time travels fast and before you know it, the small fuzzball that is 70% feet and 20% fur is suddenly a lanky teenager, still enjoying the garden even though it's now fall.

Time passes once more and before you know it, Lucky is turning two and like most young adults, takes this very seriously! :D

Ah but there is nothing like helping your parents mow the lawn, afterall that noisy thing might attack his mom at any moment!

Relaxing in mom's hammock after a good job of "helping" in the garden.

My parents keep a small chicken-coop with 5-6 chickens in the garden and has for the last many years, Lucky and the chickens are friends, though each new set of chickens has to get used to their new brother :) (No, it aint dead, just relaxing in the sun)

The fierce guard-dog prevents the Dora the Explorer (thats her name) from entering the house, which she had an unfortunate tendency to do. (Turning around and nearly stumbling over a chicken can be quite a surprise)

Lucky and his best friend Fie

Sometimes, Lucky wants to play and Fie has to remind him who's in charge!

And then there were two..........which one is Lucky and which one is his new friend Valde ?

Lucky and his other new friend, my sisters French Bulldog Joey (Dad had just let them taste a bit of ice-cream)

Ahhh New Years, time to party! (No, he don't get to actually drink alcohol :p)

Though he may act silly, Lucky is a very smart dog!

Which he proves by helping mom with Candy Crush!

And finally we end up where we started, 8 years old in Body, still a puppy in his heart :)

Of course, no birthday is complete without a present, and Lucky do so love to open his gifts....he'll even "help" at Christmas ;)

Thank you all for reading and watching, I hope you have enjoyed this little trip down memory lane and hopefully Lucky will have many more years ahead of him as a Good Doggo :D
