I was observing one woman pulled along by canine companions one with appearance somewhat between a samoyed and Pyrenean mountain dog samoyed and the other a tiny Doberman pinscher-type with a docked tail, when the thought occurred to me about how no one in my circle go out and purchase a dog from a breeder just for a specific purpose the dog might presumably fulfill, but most people end up loving the dogs for loyal companionship. <br /><br />Usually, people are suckered in by friends with unexpected blessings to share with others, or 'finding a dog at the bus stop', or rescuing at a shelter or online notice. <br /><br />Our dog has been such a blessing, since a woman approached me at an Al-Anon meeting and explained that her new pooch was too excitable to take care of properly and I looked like just the type of person with a little boy that needed a dog. <br /><br />Dogs have a way of ingratiating themselves once you've met them, even sometimes just a photo will do. <br /><br />Our dog was a Metropolitan Opera singer in a previous life, in a Kiri Te Kanawa way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-33253066664868212902011-11-24T14:47:20.213-05:002011-11-24T14:47:20.213-05:00how lovely that you have given her a forever home....how lovely that you have given her a forever home. <br /><br />My cats are both shelter rescues too.<br /><br />:o)Slave to ungrateful lawyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162824350130800343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-74279636415980474812011-11-24T14:38:08.860-05:002011-11-24T14:38:08.860-05:00Congratulations!
