Here we are in the third month of the 2018 Appreciate The Moments Photo Challenge. The word for this month is “lucky”. The first thing that came to mind was the luck of the Irish, but not being Irish, I decided to find something else for the word of the month.
I’m a super lucky girl. I’ve had opportunities in my life many dogs never have. The problem is, many of these things Mom can’t photograph, but I decided to share some of my lucky things anyway. For one thing, I have a Mom that I adore. Unfortunately, I do have to share her, but I like to claim her as my very own. This photo is from Karin Newstrom in the photo shoot we did back in 2012.
I have a wonderful home, full of love, comfy places to sleep, good food, lots of treats, and good healthcare. Amazingly, I’m eleven and a half, and still have tons of energy, and am super healthy. Living a healthy lifestyle with proper exercise (physical as well as mental), and proper nutrition keeps me feeling young.
My favorite thing to do is nose work. I’m lucky because my mom takes me to classes, trials, we get to practice at home, and with friends too. Sniffing is a sport I can do as long as I can walk, so pretty much forever.
Mom and I love to snuggle together. Being a snuggler, it’s great that my mom loves to snuggle with me any time, even when I find a hide at a trial. For me, the snuggle is almost more important than the treats. Thank you to Caprise Adams for the two nose work photographs. She always captures such wonderful moments.
Now back to the challenge word “lucky”. Doesn’t Vegas come to mind when you think of lucky? Gambling, and that kind of thing is all luck based. I was lucky enough to actually go to Vegas back in 2014, but Mom did not allow me to do any gambling. Lucky me did get to find a t-shirt, though.
For my “lucky” photo, I got to play some poker, and guess what? This “lucky” hound got a royal flush! My poker game photo is my choice for the word lucky. What would you choose for a “lucky” photo?
Awesome post Emma! I agree with you. I’m lucky too. I have to share my mom with my sister but boy do I love her! And I know shw loves me! Even when I whimper incessantly for more treats!! Have a good day Emma! Your doodle friend Dash
Thank you, Dash. I often think the only dog life would be wonderful, but it might be boring too. Have a fun day!

I think the luck of you and your mum coming together is the very best of all!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
My breeder picked me for her and we never met until she flew to England to pick me up. We are a great match.
Those were all great and we love the happy hug!
Thank you. I’m a lucky dog and you guys are lucky kitties.
You are all lucky to have each other.
We are a happy, lucky little family.
That is such a great and fun photo, perfect for the theme! Perhaps your Mom should let you play the lottery too, Emma, and you could all be even more lucky! 🙂
There are days where she mentions it, but gambling things are not something she likes. She says it is almost always a way to lose money.
oh a royal flush? congrats… I think we won anyway da biggest jackpot to got such fab furmilies … and I can see your lucky eyes in every photo :O)
I’m pretty lucky and happy to have my life and my mom. I really am a mom’s girl.
I love your take on “Lucky”. I’m pretty lucky to share my life with dogs.
Also…what is your secret to the Royal flush? 😉
Luck, LOL! First time poker playing hound gets all the lucky breaks I guess.

Thank you. We are lucky to have photographs of us together taken by others, but we have to have our fun too which is the poker table.
You really are one lucky girl ☘️
Thank you. I think I am pretty lucky compared to a lot of dogs.
Such a beautiful photo challenge for this month. So many lucky moments.
It was a bit challenging, but I got the job done.
Nothing like a little luck in your life huh?
Luck is a good thing.
