Lucky Turns Two

Lucky's 2nd Birthday

    Lucky Boy turned two this week. I got lucky this big bone and a squeak toy that was supposedly a durable toy. I guess they don't market test with 102 lb Alaskan Malamutes when the test for durability. Lucky had this bone for two days and now all that is left is a few small pieces on the floor. He demolished the bone and then turned his attention to the squirrel squeak toy. It only took him a few minutes to have the squeaker out of the squirrel and about an hour later the head was off and stuffing was everywhere. I wish I could say this was unexpected but it was no surprise as this what happens when you give lucky a toy with a squeaker in it. : )

May you rest in peace

    This anniversary also means that William has had celiac disease for almost two years now. That anniversary comes at Thanksgiving along with grandpa dying. So we celibate the fun things in our lives now. Celiac disease is not a severely life threatening disease as long as you take care of it. It is an inconvenience that really messes with every day life. There are no simple stops at the store. Forget fast food for the most part, and going to restaurants is a challenge. The food cost two to three times more for everything you buy. Some of the food is good and some really sucks for lack of a better way to say it. The last time we had William's blood tested his numbers for celiac were well below normal. That was good as his number was off of the charts when he was first diagnosed. Some things in life change and some stay the same. No matter what has happened over the last year the fact still remains that William needs extra attention and that will not change. We can hope for a cure but we need to plan for his life as it is today.

Happy birthday Lucky,

His Loving Dad
