Lucky’s View from Under the Kitchen Table

This is what my dad’s can see when they are eating at the kitchen table. I squeeze in between the table and whoever is sitting there. Sometimes I get lucky and they give me something or a crumb drops!

Waiting to go to Sleep.

This is our humans bed, or at least they think it is! We have our own beds, but we really like this one better. For some reason our dads don’t want to sleep in our beds, so we sleep with them in theirs. Whenever one of our humans goes upstairs we always go and get on the bed just in case we can take a nap with them. We are usually ready to go to bed after dark and can’t wait to run upstairs to sleep for the night.

I’m Watching you!

From his vantage point on the couch my brother Cato can watch our human parents while they are in the kitchen cooking or eating. If a morsel of food falls to the floor of if a bag is opened, especially our treats, we can be there to scarf it up in a second! Do I look hungry?

The Chief Food Safety Inspector – Lucky

Since I have to protect my humans at all times I think it is necessary for me to make sure everything they eat is okay. Here I am inspecting my dad’s meal for safety. Unfortunately he doesn’t agree with my job as food safety inspector because I didn’t get anything to sample! I keep trying though and every once and a while I get a snack!

Our Favorite Place to Look Out Onto the Deck

   
    We love to sit on the arm of the couch and look out onto the deck. From this place we can see if there are any birds at the bird feeder or if there are any kids playing in their back yard. We can also see if anyone is sneaking any food in the kitchen and trying to hide it from us. If anyone wants to sit down we usually stretch out so they can’t. Cato will leave but Lucky won’t move.

Who Says We’re Spoiled?

Lucky and Kevin

    Ever since we were little puppies we loved to be picked up by our humans, especially Cato. When Cato was younger he just loved to be held and carried by everybody. Now that we are both over 40 lbs. it is a little difficult for our humans to pick us up and carry us around, but Kevin does once and awhile. Lucky is a little nervous, but Cato doesn’t want to get down. When our humans are sitting on the couch we have to sit on top of them all of the time. Do you think we’re spoiled?

I’m Watching You!

Cato

Every time one of my humans sit at the kitchen table Lucky and I watch them in case they are eating something. As soon as we hear the noise of bags or boxes opening or the we see any kind of food or snacks we immediately run to the table. Neither one of us want to have our humans eat alone!

Just a little nap before bedtime!

When the sun starts to go down we like to cozy up for a short nap before we go upstairs to go to bed. We don’t like to sleep upstairs in the bed without our humans there to go to sleep too.  Aside for eating and playing this is our favorite thing to do.

Lucky Loves Swimming

    Last year my humans bought me a small kiddie pool and tried to surprise me with it. It had the head of a dog on it, because I guess puppies could also use it. When I saw it I was so scared I barked at it and jumped over a 6 ft. fence! I was brought back and placed in the pool but I didn’t like it. I wouldn’t even just put my feet in the water. When my daddies went swimming I liked to watch and bark. I love to bite the water when it comes out a garden hose and I wanted to bite the splashes!

    Finally daddy Kevin carried me into the water with him.  I even started swimming without anyone teaching me! After a while I learned to climb on the ladder and jump in and then when I wanted to get out I learned to go to the ladder and climb out! I love playing catch in the pool and biting the splashes that people make. I’m not supposed to go in alone, but a couple of times I jumped in by myself.

    All the time I am in the pool Cato is on the edge barking constantly because he wants to play, but he is too afraid to go in. Kevin even took him in the water and he could swim too, but he really doesn’t like to go in the pool. The pool is closed for the year, so I will  have to wait until next year. So sad.

My name is Lucky!

 

    
    My name is Lucky and I am a spayed female Cattle Dog. I weigh 46.5 lbs. I am shorter, but heavier than my brother Cato.  I am a bit hyper and love to play all of the time. I love to play ball, go swimming and beat up Cato. When I play ball with Cato I usually always get the ball. My favorite toy is my donut, a hard rubber ring. My vet said that I am a hoarder because I hoard all of our toys and won’t let Cato have anything. I love treats and I can eat mine very fast and sometimes manage to steal Cato’s. I do not like my crate and when my daddies put me there when they go out I bark and howl until they come back. I love to go for walks but I do not behave very well. I also bark at just about everything I see, especially kids playing, because I want to play with them. I love to go swimming in the pool and playing ball there, but Cato is too afraid to come in the water with me.
