Lucky
Dog....

Anyone who has
pets will really like this. You'll like it even
if you don't and you may even decide you need
one!

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog
named 'Lucky.'

Lucky was a real
character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company
come for a weekend visit they would warn their
friends to not leave their luggage open because
Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his
fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and
something would come up
missing.

Mary
or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the
basement and there the treasure would be, amid
all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always
stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very
particular that his toys stay in the
box.

It happened that Mary found out she
had breast cancer. Something told her she was
going to die of this disease....in fact; she was
just sure it was fatal.

She scheduled the
double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.
The night before she was to go to the
hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought
struck her...what would happen to Lucky?
Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he
was Mary's dog through and through. If I die,
Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't
understand that I didn't want to leave him!
The thought made her sadder than thinking
of her own death.

The double mastectomy
was harder on Mary than her doctors had
anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over
two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk
faithfully, but the little dog just drooped,
whining and miserable.

Finally the day
came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she
arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't
even make it up the steps to her bedroom.
Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch
and left her to nap.

Lucky stood
watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she
called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon
overcame her and she dozed.

When
Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand
what was wrong. She couldn't move her head
and her body f felt heavy and hot. But panic
soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the
problem. She was covered, literally blanketed,
with every treasure Lucky owned! While she
had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after
trip to the basement bringing his beloved
mistress all his favorite things in
life.
He
had covered her with his
love.
Mary
forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky
began living again, walking further and further
together every day. It's been 12 years now and
Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky He still steals
treasures and stashes them in his toy box but
Mary remains his greatest
treasure.

Remember....live
every day to the fullest. Each minute is a
blessing from God. And never forget....the
people who make a difference in our lives are
not the ones with the most Credentials, the most
money, or the most awards. They are the
ones that care for us.

If you see someone
without a smile today give them one of yours!
Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak
kindly. Leave the rest to
God

A
small request
All
you are asked to do is keep this
circulating.

Dear God, I
pray for the cure of
cancer.
Amen

All you are
asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it
is only to one more person, in memory of anyone
you know that has been struck down by cancer or
is still fighting their
battle.
