Yes.
I did not plan on adopting today, as I was just riding around. I prayed that if God wanted me to get a new doggie today to make it happen, if not, then DON’T let it happen. I had gone to two shelters and there was no appropriate dog for me.
Then, my car radio text said “BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING CO” just as I looked up and saw a street sign that said “ED” (LOL).
Well...It just so happens that I have a big brother named “Ed” so I went to his house and told him about Lynn-Dah. he and his wife were devastated at the news. Then the wife suggested I go to the big shelter in Jamaica Plain (inner city), but I was a bit hesitant to go that far in town because it was getting close to Rush Hour. We are talking BOSTON here, folks!
So I went to another suburban shelter, and again...nothing. “OK, Lord” I prayed, “It’s been twenty years since I have driven into the heart of the city, and so much has changed. But I have my GPS, and here I go!
After driving around through what seemed to be all the old neighborhoods of my life, I ended up in my old stomping grounds at the ASPCA in Jamaica Plain (part of Boston). It was “Free Cat Day” and the place was very crowded, as some generous donor had taken care of all the adoption fees for adult cats.
I wanted a dog, however, and preferably a Lab Mix. of course, nobody could ever replace Lynn-Dah, but that is not the point. Each pet is a new entity in our lives, have a personality all their own, and are their own unique creature.
I went through the shelter, and there was a plethora of Pits and Pit Mixes, and there was Penny, the most gentle creature in the most intimidating package, a Beautiful, Brindle, Lab/Staffordshire terrier Mix, 6 years old, surrendered because her human had gone off to college.
We went for a walk together, and the pact was sealed. We both needed rescuing.
She’s home with me now, has met Patty and Don, and some of the neighbors, and she fits right in.
She’s a big girl, 65 lbs, Her temperament is one of the most docile and gentle I have ever seen in a large dog. She has had all her shots, is spayed, negative for heartworm, and very healthy.
I will probably lose weight walking her as she is very energetic.
I know it seems soon, but when it happens, it happens.
Love ML
Good for you! Penny. Named after a British gold coin from the 12th Century.
As long as it isn’t short for “Pennywise”, the evil clown from Stephen King’s “It”. LOL!
That is correct! :-)
Right?
Some just cotton to ya
The enclosures are glass at this brand new updated shelter, so she and I looked at each other through glass and STILL connected.
(The same thing happened with Lynn-Dah many years ago.)
yeah Pook was that way, first glance
Very happy for you and your new doggie :-)
A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
