Okay, okay I'm sorry y'all. Really I am. It's been a really bad day here as we have been grieving for Charlie Girl so much.
The poster that said I didn't want to jinx it is correct.
And Lord NO! I ain't pregnant. You wouldn't wish THAT on me would ya?
It may get long so bear with me.
Okay, as some of you know we just lost the world's best dog. After reassurances from some of you that Charlie wouldn't mind, I've been looking at getting a rescue dog; actually two of them that need a home. Something just didn't feel right though. It's hard for me to explain.
The thing is Charlie wasn't the first critter to break my heart with her leaving; there have been several. The one I have never stopped thinking about is Bekka, my siamese. Her full name was Alexy's Miss Rebekkah Nomore. I lost her four years ago and miss her every day!
So last night I'm browsing the dogs on petfinder. Trying to see if one of the many would "speak" to me. They didn't.
Just for "ha-ha's" I typed 'siamese' into the search box with our zip code, not really expecting anything. Every time I've searched there before for a new meezer, they've always been adopted by the time I saw the listing.
Anyhow, I hit search and what should pop up but a seal point female siamese! Just an hour away! I shot off an email to the rescue's director before I even finished reading the profile. That's when I ran over here and asked y'all for the good thoughts and boy did they work - in more than one way! (more on that later). It was late, I didn't expect a response, but ten minutes later I had my response! She was still available!
I was freaking out because the shelter was only open for four hours today and we had an appt. that we just had to keep in the other direction. I just knew she would be adopted before I could get there. I didn't sleep all night and I called the director of the rescue two hours before they opened this A.M.
She's was going to be spayed today, so nobody else could see her anyhow!!!!!!!
The director told me if I am there tomorrow morning, she's mine!!!!!!!!!!!
So tomorrow I will have help in getting my heart to heal. She won't be Charlie, she won't be a dog at all. She will be loved!
I'll post a pic from the shelter's website in just a bit.
They call her Penelope! Like that's a name for a regal siamese!
Her new name to start her new life is going to be Kiyoshi - it means bright and shining in japanese. We'll call her KiKi for short.
Okay, so now how your prayers and good thoughts worked overtime for us.
My DH comes home from work and he has some news of his own. One of the deputies has offered him an 8 month old, registered male german shepherd dog. This poor baby is right now sharing a 10 x10 pen with two other dogs.
Before Charlie, my DH has had two special dogs in his life. A shepherd was one of them. He's still thinking about him, but I believe it's meant to be.
Two special gifts to help us heal.
Thanks so much y'all. You'll never know how much your prayers and good thoughts meant to us.
