Diamonds Are Furever

Mort

Mort (as he was known to you) came into our lives and immediately became our Lucky! I just "felt" that name in my heart because I felt lucky to have found him! My husband loved the name Lucky also, so it was a no- brainier for me! At first, my little man was really shy and sleepy- I was warned about that by Kayla and Ryan so it was fully expected. It took about 2 days for him to get used to the house and all, but it really all went so smoothly! With all the snow we had, I let him potty on the deck so it was quickly in and out. Easy peasy for this little guy. I bought him sweaters and little boots so he wouldn't be cold. Honest to God, he licked my hand in gratitude after he came in on a below zero day! We had to get used to his habits and Aldo had to approach him slowly and gently. This boy needs a lot of TLC and, please be assured, he gets it here! I make all his food per the vet's instructions. He dines on chicken thighs, brown rice and baby carrots twice a day. Yes, he's looking a little "thicker" these days. I also make him Mutt Balls which is simply ground turkey, sweet potatoes, brown rice and and egg and baked into little round balls. Loves, loves, loves them! Another treat are Pup Cakes which are wheat flour, peanut butter ( chunky, no less!!), honey, egg, little baking soda. These can be frosted with smooth PB or cream cheese. Nothing is too good for my boy! Lastly, since we travel quite a bit, I decided to make Lucky an ESA so he could travel anywhere with me. My doctor was happy to write a note for me about flight anxiety and soon Lucky received his official vest., cards, and certificate! We just got back from a 10 day trip to Florida and Lucky joined us on his maiden voyage! He was PERFECT! No accidents, no barking, very friendly, and appropriately sleepy while flying in my lap. I seriously was SO proud of him when the whole plane said he was the best ESA ever, and they never heard a single noise from him on all 3 legs from Fargo to West Palm Beach. I'm just in love with my little guy! Thank you for a allowing me to adopt Lucky. I'm very grateful.
