Lucky is ALWAYS smiling......
Copper Oak's Luck Of The Draw, "Lucky"
Lucky came to us at 8 weeks in July 2003. He is the "best" Aussie I have ever
had the pleasuring of knowing and loving. He is smart, versatile, and keeps all
of our "kids" in line. Lucky is 72 pounds, and still prefers to sit in my lap! Due to
some hereditary issues, we decided not to breed him, and instead he has
become our "lap" dog!
Lucky sleeps in the kitchen, where we have a permanent gate up to keep our
doggies from entering the rest of the house without invitation. Lucky man's the
gate like a "walmart greeter", and welcomes visitors and guards the puppies.
When my 15 yr old nephew came to visit in summer (2008); Tommy was tall
enough to simply step ~OVER~ the gate; this was considered a SERIOUS
VIOLATION of law and order and Lucky would bark and notify me each and
every time Tommy did this! I have never laughed so hard in my life!

I truly cannot imagine life without my best "boy" Lucky. He is the official babysitter,
and any puppies whelped, bought, borrowed or visiting Lucky keeps tabs on. In
the summer of 2007, when Sonny's kids were about 6 weeks old, Lucky would
NOT stop whining. He pestered me until I finally followed him out to the dog room..
I could NOT believe it; the puppy doggy door had accidentally been left open, and
he KNEW "his" pups were not allowed outside alone, after dark, too many flying
predators.
Lucky is our official camping dog. My son Billy and I often fish, camp and spend
summer days at a nearby creek and pond that is very isolated. Lucky ALWAYS
accompanies us, and he stays by my side, and alerts me when other people get
too close. He loves to go "boating" but prefers to stay in the shallow water, well,
that is until I get "too far", and then he makes his way out to me, trying to grab hold
of my life vest, bathing suit, heck even an arm or leg will do!! He does not like me
swimming out to far and has popped more rafts than I can count lol!
Lucky has the temperament and attitude that made me fall in love with this breed.
He is everything an Aussie should be and then some! He also worries over my 4
yr old grandson, and keeps close tabs on him in and out of the water. I am simply
"not allowed" to ride any of the towable water toys when Lucky is on board, he will
man a postion on the back of the boat, barking, howling and scolding me! While is
just a bit overprotective, he is an amazing dog, and I am so blessed to have him!

Lucky's new job... I had been having issues in using the big dryer on the "boys", Rico
and Kane. They were both being quite obnoxious, and not wanting to stand nicely
during our grooming sessions. Lucky had been trying to barge his way in, but I
assumed he would make matters worse, boy was I wrong!! Lucky corrected them both,
and within 3 minutes had them standing still and quiet, and allowing me to use the
dryer, the dremmel, or whatever needed to be done. Each time they would "fuss", move
or misbehave, Lucky would get them in line! Lucky is my "Lucky star" and he is the
most amazing boy in the world!
