She is Lucky, and so am I

This week and weekend I endured a scary happening that came very unexpectedly.  I was rushed into an unexpected surgery where my heart had then taken an even more unexpected reaction to the anesthesia.  I had known I had an abnormal heart beat for quite some time now as other doctors have noticed but it has never been a huge issues to me (as it really should saying it is my heart!).  After waking up and from the anesthesia and feeling as if an elephant was sitting on my chest, the doctor had explained that my heart rate would not stay at a normal rate as well as pattern during the procedure.  It often shot up and then dropped to extreme and worry some levels.  He referred my mother and I to a couple cardiologist to talk about possible procedures from here.

When I arrived home the first presence to greet me was my adorable and sweet old dog Lucky.  I had rescued Lucky a little over a year ago now and I am so happy to to have provided her a wonderful home to carry out the rest of her life.  She had come from a family where husband and wife were both physically and verbally abusive so she is scared of nay loud voice or noise and is mortified of thunder storms.  Having known all this and witnessing her reactions for myself I knew I had done the right thing in giving this sweet girl a new comforting home where she would not have to live in fear anymore.  What I didn't know, was how much of an impact that little lady was going to have on me and my life.

Lucky did not leave my side the entire time spent in bed.  When I got up to do absolutely anything, Lucky was right there to aid me.  I have never felt more comforted and taken care of as I have with her considering the state and condition I was in.  I cannot be more thankful to have her in my life and it means the world to me knowing how she did not leave my side and knew I needed to be watched over.  I feel I have truly been blessed  and she is the absolute perfect addition to my life.  When ever I need to be reassured or a push to get through something I know she will always be there.  I truly believe animals are smarter than we give them credit for.  I also believe they are guardian angels in disguise.   

Lucky is my best friend and I can't help but feel at ease every time I see her and she plops herself in my lap.  I truly believe she sensed that I took her home that day to give her a new life and she is in return has made mine a brighter as well.  One of the best feelings I think I have ever come across is taking her home and knowing in my heart how great of a thing I was doing and the wonderful life I was saving and now knowing that she in return would do the same for me.
