Luky's Birthday

Yesterday, December 21, 2009, was Luky’s birthday. He turned 12. He’s still celebrating, so I have yet to hear his thoughts about being another seven (human) years older.

It seems ironic, but as brief as a dog's life might be - comparatively - a lot of interesting events have come to pass getting the two of us to this point. For example, we've shared four homes, though it feels like more due to a few extended visits. He learned to navigate the horse stables, music studios, quasi-professional kitchens, and numerous urban and suburban parks and natural expanses.

Of course, Luky suffers the same disadvantage of anyone born this close to the holidays. His birthday is generally overlooked for all the end-of-year celebrations. One of his canine pals - a girlfriend, as one must presume - Sky, a Border Collie from a neighborhood across town, came to stay for a few days. Sky is 12 also, so today's Lake Avondale (www.lakeavondale.blogspot.com) walk was properly slow and respectful of shared arthritis.

Still, we enjoyed some frisbee chasing and Geese gawking. All in all, it was a bright, sunny, cool day, and perfect for shaking some fur among the fallen leaves.

Happy Birthday, Luky!
