Lucky Lessons- 2008  


Lucky Lessons tells about how we first got Lucky and all the things she enjoys doing every day,
like fishing and visiting children and older people. At the end of the story, Lucky Lessons are listed for ages 4-7 and ages 8-95! Lucky is good at all of these lessons but I am still working on them. They include lessons for listening, patience,accepting others, eating healthy foods and exercising daily. Lucky practices her good behaviors every day. Parent and teacher discussion tips at end of each book!  (18 pages) 




  Happy Goes Lucky-2009

What make you jump out of bed every day? In this second book, Lucky thinks about all the 
kids she has met and wonders if they're all as happy-go-lucky as she is. She decides to notice all the little things in her life  that fill her with joy and this book encourages YOU to do the same! As Lucky points out, no one else can make you happy, but joyful moments happen every day. Don't let any get away! Parent letter and discussion questions included at end of book! 
(18 pages)    






Lucky for You!- 2011

     In this rhyming book, Lucky doesn't get her way when she wants to take a ride. But rather than staying upset, she remembers what her Irish mama always said: "Most things aren't problems unless you make them that way!"  And then Lucky's owner faces a challenge! We all 
have things that go wrong in life, but when we choose to see them as challenges, not problems, we can stay calm and think positive! Discussion questions at end of book. (22 pages) 








Lucky: Handle with Care- 2012

     In this rhyming book, Lucky notices the wonderful things that hands can do for people and pets. She trusts that all people have "good hands" and would never hurt her, their pets or each 
other. This book has a strong anti-bullying message. While our feelings can go up or down, it's our actions that are most important.  We can control our actions, including our words, by remembering to use the Lucky Quiet Signal. Last line: "When we treat all people as if they 
might break, we 'handle with care' and connections we make." Discussion questions at end of book! (18 pages)




                       


Lucky To Be Friends  2013
     In this book for all ages, Lucky sets an example of how to be a good friend. She listens and "just shows up" when we need her. She also understands that we all need friends even when we act mad. There may be other feelings underneath that anger so we shouldn't give up on people. In this book, we talk about being nice to everyone, not just "acting nice." Watching how people treat others can tell us a lot about them. No one wants to be talked about or left out. Most importantly, what message does hearing our name send to others? When they hear our name, do they feel "lucky to be our friend?" There is a strong anti-bullying message in this book.  (Discussion included. at end of book. 18 pages)









Lucky Lives On! (2018). How do we best remember and honor our pets or loved ones who have 
died? This book celebrates Lucky’s life now that she is 12 years old. The original ten Lucky Lessons are in this book again since she will be remembered for the lessons she taught us. If I can be joyful, thankful, present, encouraging and loving like Lucky, she will live on!

    1. We started by putting teaching her the word "no" and then we'd put the food closer and closer to her. We'd work on having her wait for longer and longer periods of time. You need to be very patient when training a dog and not all dogs will be able to do the same "tricks" and that's OK too!

    1. Jacob,
      See above response for some training tips. You have to be very patient and work on one behavior at a time using lots of praise and some treats.

  10. I'm not an expert but you have to have lots of patience and just work on one behavior at a time like "sit." Repeat it several times a day, and your dog may need a small treat and lots of praise at first. It just takes time but it pays off if you just work on a behavior a little each day!

  16. You should combine all of the books together and make one big hard covered book that tells everything about you and lucky together!!!
