13-years-old Lucky's appreciation post!

My sweetheart!! His age has been slowly starting to show, he seems to be going a little deaf, is a little slow, but he's always so happy!

The best thing I've done in my life was convincing my father for months to get a dog when I was 8 years old.

I still remember coming to the shelter and this sweet happy guy just racing in circles around us out of excitement. I remember picking out his name. I remember play fighting with him and him absolutely tearing my favourite green sweatshirt and I couldn't have cared less about it. I remember him always staying with me through the night at new year's eve and during thunderstorms — one time resulting in our house getting a flea infestation because he had met hedgehogs moments before haha

He's always been such a good boy and I know it's inevitable but I can't imagine losing him.

I just hope he knows how amazing and loved he is, and that my family has been at least half as good to him as he has been to us.
