>>> Nicest one I've read !!!!

>>> 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!

>>>

>>>

>>> and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real

>> character. Whenever 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.

>>>

>>>

>>>

>>> 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 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 's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be

>> abandoned, 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 than her doctors had

>> anticipated and 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 to leave the hospital. When she

>>> arrived

>> home, 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 but he didn't come to her when she called. It

>> made sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

>>>

>>> When woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong.

>> She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic

>> soon

>> gave way to laughter when 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.

>>>

>>> forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again,

>> walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now

>> and

>> is still cancer-free. Lucky?

>>>

>>> He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but

>> 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
