Luckie Girl

The love of a dog is truly unconditional. Come meet our furry family member, Luckie Girl. See some of the things she loves and learn why we are LUCKY to have her in our lives! Being a pet owner is such a blessing. 



Last week our Boxer Luckie turned 9 years old. Every year we look forward to January 13th because we know it’s her special day and we can’t wait to shower her with extra hugs and kisses.
We get so excited for the big day weeks before it arrives. Then, like clockwork, the day comes and we totally forget her birthday!

I promise you we love Luckie like she’s a human – we literally consider her a part of our family – but for whatever reason when the actual day arrives to celebrate her birthday we have a complete brain lapse…

As a way to make up for being such a horrible Doggy Momma, I decided to write all about Luckie Girl and the many things that make her the best dog ever!

What makes Luckie Girl happy?

Luckie Girl | The love of a dogFor starters, Luckie craves human interaction. She is not the dog that is going to hide in a bedroom or run the other way when she hears the doorbell ringing. She’s an extrovert like her mom! Honestly, you won’t even make it in the front door before she greets you. We try to control her but she’s her own woman and does her own thing. What can I tell you!

The more you pet her, the more she loves you. If you sneak her some people food you’ve moved into her best friend territory and will be followed around for the duration of your visit. Most people don’t mind because she’s such a sweetheart.  

Although I am currently in the “dog house” for forgetting her birthday, I would have to say I’m Luckie Girl’s favorite person. She’s my sidekick, my cuddle buddy, my shadow. This probably has to do with the fact that I spoil her rotten and have done so since the day we brought her home.

Luckie Girl | The love of a dog

One of my favorite pictures of us! Circa 2012

Look at this baby picture of her. How could you not melt at this face! I created a monster from day one and I now have to live with it. There are worse things in life, don’t you think?

Luckie Girl | The love of a dogIn addition to loving her mom, Luckie is literally obsessed with the lake. “The Boys” and I agree that Luckie has benefited the most from moving into our new house. You’d never know she’s nine years old. She’s vibrant and happy and loves being by the water. Don’t confuse that with being in the water! Ironically, she loves everything about the lake except the actual water itself. She fell in going after a fish once and almost had a heart attack. From that point forward she’s used a little more caution when maneuvering around the lake.

Luckie Girl | The love of a dogFishing is probably one of Luckie’s favorite things to do. She quickly realized that when you cast out a fishing pole there’s a chance that a LIVE FISH might be on the other end. She waits, not so patiently, for someone to catch something. You will find her in almost every picture we have of us fishing.

This was on Sunday afternoon. Have I mentioned how much I love Florida? It was a beautiful day here on Sunday. Temperatures were in the 70’s and the lake was just calling our names. So we had to answer, of course. 

Luckie Girl | The love of a dogLuckie Girl loves fishing off the dock but loves it even more on the pontoon. You can click here to see her during one of our many fishing trips. 

When she isn’t fishing, you can find Luckie lounging in the sun on the patio. She’s got the life, that Luckie Girl!

Luckie aka Cleopatra

The truth of the matter is that we are the lucky ones to have our Luckie Girl. A dog’s love is unconditional and we are so grateful to have our goofy Boxer in our life. We couldn’t imagine our lives without her. 

We love you, Luckie Girl! And Happy Belated Birthday. 💜

    Beautiful animal–and family member! Animals are the greatest–especially when the owners treat them as part of the family–like you do. Luckie is one lucky dog! And you are one lucky family to have her! Great post–love posts about animals–and the photos are fabulous!

      Thank you, Sharlene. It’s funny you said, “We are lucky to have Luckie.” We say this all the time. Sad story, but we were broken into last year and they went after Luckie and hurt her. She did her job and protected our house no matter what the cost. The police said that she single-handedly saved our house from being completely ransacked. She’s really amazing. Love her to pieces.

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

You know how much I love you all, right?! Enough to embarrass the heck out of myself in a SPORTS BRA in my stories for you. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Many of you wanted a review and try-on of my recent Amazon workout purchase so that’s what I did for ya...very awkwardly.🤣
.
Head to my stories for my honest opinions along with all the details for the items I purchased. I also linked everything in @liketoknow.it so you can easily shop if you see something you fancy. The link is in my bio.🙌🏼

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰

How often do you organize your purse? Better yet, how often do you switch your purse out?👛👛
.
⭐️Tip Tuesday: From someone who has way too many purses (that’s me 🙋🏽‍♀️), the best way I’ve found to easily switch out bags and stay organized throughout the process is to use “The Pouch Method”. 
.
I organize like items together that I keep in my purse and place them in a small pouch that fits back inside my purse. I have one for all my gift cards/coupons and then one for all my personal hygiene type items. Swipe to see.➡️
.
Not only does this method keep your purse organized, but it allows you to just take out the organized pouches and easily place them in your purse choice of the day! For more tips on organizing your purse, check out the link in my bio.👛
