HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCCA!

It's truly amazing we have made it this far, but today is Lucca's 3rd birthday!! This past weekend Mike and I were talking about how we are probably those people who others say - "Here they all come again--what's with them and that dog?!?!" - And we admit it- we are shamefully in love with our big baby. He has been an integral part of Mimi & Lu as well as our personal lives. Who knew this big, slobbery, dumb creature could capture so much attention. A look back:

Almost immediately, Lucca used one of his nine lives. Here we are a week into owning Lucca at the Animal Hospital where he was treated for Parvo.

Well, 6 months later Lucca would fracture his front leg, leaving us trying to lift a 75lb dog up and down stairs for potty breaks. This was one of the most trying times with Lucca. Can't you see the sadness in his eyes!

and the Cancer scare.

Then of course there were the dog attacks.

He has joined me at boutiques

and bead stores

Brought a smile to those sick

And occasional gave someone  a hand.

Despite the slobber...

We love this guy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUCCA!!
