My "One Lucky Ride"
THE RIDE
My name is Lucky. Let me tell you how I got my name and found a forever home. I was about 6 weeks old when I stumbled upon a busy gravel parking area with a lot of big scary farm equipment. I was terrified and lost so I climbed up under a truck for protection. The guys that worked there shoed me out so I found another vehicle to crawl up under. They eventually left me alone.
I was tucked up underneath a Ford Flex when I realized the noise was coming from this engine and I was leaving the parking lot. I cried loudly during this short ride. I guess the driver heard me because she tried to leave me at the first stop but after she got in the car I crawled back up under the car to ride wherever she was going. I did not know that this was my “one lucky ride” to my future home.
I think this lady at first thought I was a wild cat and that I was going to take off and run away. I had to quickly show her that I needed her. I cried sweet meows and purred around her feet and then placed my paws on her leg. She then took a picture of me so I must have done my job well. I was then placed on her back porch and she disappeared.
THEY NAMED ME LUCKY
She returned with three boys I would soon call bothers…oh I mean brothers. When they saw me they were in disbelief and extremely excited to call me theirs. I was about to become their first pet. They named me Lucky because I was lucky to be alive, lucky to have hitched a ride and lucky that these “non-pet” parents allow me to stay. The boys played with me for hours and placed covers on me as I napped. I penetrated their hearts from the start.
This lady they called mom meets all my needs: food, water, litterbox and a warm place to sleep. She is my caregiver. I go to her first if I need anything. I began living on the back porch, but I quickly established my worth to mom by catching a mouse. It wasn’t long after that I was a comfortable fat cat living the inside life. Dad has always been a little harder to convince, but between me and you, he talks a big game but really loves me the most. I really enjoy long naps in his lap and playing fetch with him for my treats.
SETTLE PRRRFECTLY
It has been about two years now and my family is moving. I overheard discussions of what they were going to do with me. There was a few weeks between the time we sold our house and their move into the RV. My brothers prayed hard to keep me and there is nothing that our God cannot
do. Right on time, I got an invitation to move in with Maw Maw and Paw Paw with the rest of the family as we awaited the RV. Mom just kept saying you are one 'lucky dog' cat. It took me a day or so to come out from under the bed after the move to the grandparents’ house. So now I’m awaiting another big move into this RV. Hopefully I will settle prrrfectly there with my family as we adventure off on “One Lucky Ride”
