There are so many coincidental similarities to Lucky and a former friend of mine. Had you said he lived in Palm Springs for 5 years, and didn't have a husband, I'd have said the two were the same person. My friend who i used to live in nyc passed away about a month ago in his new home in Palm Springs. His dog was named Lucky and loved Broadway. My condolences to all of you. This post made me think of my friend.
