And while i'm at home, it doesn't change anything

The husband will not have a say when he want's to sleep

Having a personal driver be like

Still having a personal driver but on the front seat

Ready for New Year's Eve. Not sure who is looking better, me or the dog

My Christmas Jumper is way better than yours

Having a dinner with a view

Eating, sleeping, pooping. All day, all night

This is how exciting Lucky is when he knows that at 5.45 his owner is about to come home

This is how Lucky's perfect bed looks like

The dog is watching is everything is under control

Those Chihuahua eyes...

The wedding. Not sure who looks better, Lucky or the Bridegroom

So where is the bridegroom??
