"I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.”
― W. Paul Young, The Shack
I have a new relationship with a darling little black and white boy! Just over a month ago I wrote, "When Is It Ever Easy To Say Good-bye?" where I spoke of grief and loss. Today I'm sharing a photo of someone I have found. This is my new puppy who I met through "Pet Match Rescue"http://petmatchrescue.org/ in Orange County, CA. This little guy was saved from what is known as a high-kill shelter in Los Angeles County. In other words, he would have been euthanized had a nice woman named Linda not found him and sent him to be fostered. Robert and I met him at a Petco adoption event and fell in love with him, we were "approved" and a few days later he arrived at our home!
There is nothing that brings out happy feelings more than a new pup does... and Jet is great! Although he is still a little timid, especially with men, at four and a half months he is completely housebroken and he didn't even cry his first night here!! Not a peep! He has the sweetest disposition and he's great in the car too! (I feel like I am composing one of those online descriptions that you can read when you are trying to get a dog but it's all true!) He is part poodle and part? He doesn't shed and as you can see he's a bit curly.
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you." Job 12:7

What a cutie! Love the new look!
ReplyDeleteGood that you and Joe met up and that he has now been literally "saved" from being euthanized at the shelter. I think that finding an at risk dog at a shelter is one of the best and kindest ways to find a dog and makes me happiest that "Joe" has found a new life joining your household, Donna.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Robert on the new pup!
I am so happy for you and Robert that you have a new puppy. He is adorable!! I know he will bring you much joy. I have been thinking about the two of you as you work through your grief and sadness. God is blessing you!!
