OT: Unconditional love. . .

Hoping you can view these pictures, The last one is where I knew that life brings us exactly what we need, when we need it. . .   I and my roommate arrived a half hour early and we waited for the woman who I had been in contact with about Sirius, when she arrived, she opened the back of her car and out came this beautiful female Rottie, who had been surrendered by her former owners to a shelter in Philadelphia.  Her former owners had 3 dogs and 6 children, she appeared to be a very well trained, good mannered girl, but I was there to meet Sirius and not wanting a female dog.  I did think for just a moment, why don't I want a female dog?    Anyway, long story short, can I ever tell a short story (lol), I met Sirius and another large male rottie, named Buster, also a beautiful boy, but after spending some time, with both of them individually, I realized that they would be too much for me to handle.  The woman asked if I wanted to take another look at the female rottie and so she was brought back out, I walked and played with her, it felt right and she is and will become a full fledged member of my home when I return from Florida after attending my wonderful daughter, Angela's nursing school graduation this upcoming week.  Her name, which I will keep, is Roxie!

A last note on this wonderful story, when I looked over her papers, the date she was brought to the shelter in Philadephia, was the same day that my dear Dillinger was put to rest.  I think there are no coincidences in life, just "God's" way of remaining anonymous. . .  As always thank you for your support and friendship along the way. 

To my Jewish friends, I wish you a very Happy Hannukah!   With warm regards, Laureen   "be the change you wish to see in the world" Ghandi

She is beautiful Laureen.  You know when it's right.  I am soooo happy for you.  I love the pink collar too :).  I can hear the happiness coming thru your post.
Nothing is by coincidence... God knows what he's doing.

Aloha dear Laureen........Oh how I love the happy smile on your face as you bring Roxie into your family and your heart.

I also LOVE the "coincidence" that your precious Dillinger left this world being the same day that your Roxie went to a shelter. Absolutely NO COINCIDENCE!

Could not be happier for you.........hugs & kisses.

I do believe Roxie was sent to you from Dillinger. I felt the same way about Kittle sending me Scooter. I know nonpet lovers will think that's foolish ... pets don't have souls, they don't speak or send signals from the afterworld, but I honestly believe it's true.

OH LAUREEN I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU THAT YOU FOUND LOVE ONCE AGAIN WITH ROXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yes i believe that dillinger had something to do with your getting this dog!!! i remember looking at puppies after spikes awful death and when i saw bandit sleeping and he didn't want anything to do with me i left him in tears then he jumped up and cried and i came back to him and he was all over me giving me kisses galore!!! i knew then that spike made him do it and he has been my baby ever since!!!!

congrats!!!  :-)
