First & Last: we met Dearest Lucky sitting on John's Front Doorstep, on a long lead, so she could enjoy the fresh air. Whenever we went by, to the shop & back, she always looked up at us with those big deep soulful amber eyes, asking us, entreating us, imploring us, beseeching us, (&/or anyone & everyone else) to Take Her For A Walk, as what she truly needed was A Really Good Long Walk In The Park! So we did; & I always hoped that, when the time came when John himself could no longer look after her, or exercise her, early mornings or late evenings, he would allow her to come & live with us, & of course with the Proviso that (we would arrange) Lucky should visit him every day!!! John just wanted his Beloved Dog to be cared for, walked, groomed, & brushed, & all her Vetinary Needs covered. This would all have been arranged & agreed with John himself, beforehand, so he could be absolutely assured that every aspect of Lucky's keep & care would always be met, & covered by us!!!!
