Today is a super special day for me. Luke came to live with me six years ago today, at eight months old. He came from a not so happy home and we had to work very hard to gain trust and love. He is my heart boy, though, and every obstacle that we've had to overcome has been worth it. Here's a little photo journey of the last six years.

Luke's first picture after he came to live with me.



Eight months old.



He loves his ball!





Some things never change.



Napping as a puppy.



Luke sleeping as a big boy.



He doesn't just smile when he sleeps! Silly boy.



Enjoying time at his grandma and grandpa's.

Thanks, everybody! He is a very special boy. We've been through a lot together - he even saved my life, literally. I am so thankful every day that he came into my life.

Luke is a beautiful boy (and funny too!). It looks like the two of you have had a great journey together.
Happy gotcha day to both of you - it is even more important than a birthday since it was the start of a wonderful life together.

 

[Blaireli]

Thanks, everybody!

I have to share this picture, too. This was taken a few weeks ago. He gets this same look on his face every night just before he passes out for the night.

I am glad Luke found a nice place to live for eight years, and more years to come. Happy Gotcha day!
