Lucky Shafer, Rat Terrier Mix…………..Came into our lives November 6, 2011, passed away in our loving arms on June 4, 2019.
Lucky loved pupperoni, and anything his Dad was eating……He enjoyed playing with large stuffed animals
Lucky enjoyed camping, fishing and barking at squirrels
Lucky came into our lives on November 6, 2011, he was hit by a car in front of our home and made his way beside of our house where my two boxers were trying to get our attention to help him. He was hurt, so we took him to the vet, and tried to find the owner, but to no avail, he found his new home with me, my husband, and our fur babies, Chance and Bailey, and made our little family
complete.
After the car hit Lucky, the vet stated he had a broken leg, but surgery was more than we could afford, but with a lot of love and TLC, his leg mended and he was able to run after rabbits, bark at squirrel’s, camping and fish. Our lives changed the day he came into our home. Chance was our male boxer, who didn’t quit see things as Lucky, being a Terrier mix, who thought he was a Rottweiler, and things should always go his way, but Chance just wanted to play ….but Bailey girl, our second boxer, was the peace maker, she wanted to be the big sister and make sure they both got along, and she wasn’t afraid to let them both know she is the boss.
Bailey would be the peace maker, and she did a great job of this, making the brothers get along….they all were very happy together, and we loved them so much. They each brought so much happiness to us, but in no time they each went to “The Rainbow Bridge” to wait for us.
We had to make the hard decision for Chance and Bailey, both of our boxers were no longer able to walk with out assistance, due to their hips, but we couldn’t bare to see them trying their hardest to keep us happy, but they could go no longer. They are both happy now, running and playing.
Lucky had Cushing disease, but He didn’t let that stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
On June 4, 2019, we had our dinner, and then went for a short walk, came back home, and took a little nap. Lucky was in Bed with us, and he let out a loud “Yelp” and we both jumped up ,grabbed him, and then he started vomiting. While I cleaned up the mess, my husband took him to the living room, and before I could get back in there, he passed away in my husbands arms.
I held him for so many hours until my husband made me to go bed….our hearts are still broken today, but they will be forever in our hearts…………………….
Our hearts are so broken, all of our fur babies have passed on, there will be another fur baby who will rescue us soon, and we will begin another journey…….
Rest in Peace Lucky
