All my children are grown and as of August, I’m an empty nester. So of course I thought that I would be just fine and I adamantly denied getting a pet.
Two days after arriving back home from evacuating a stray dog made it’s way to my house. I kept her. She stayed tied up outside, highly visible for the whole world to see including her owner if they ever came around. I wished her owner would come by soon, but it didn’t happen.
After the third day I named her Sheba. She is beautiful, loving and even tempered. We went for a walk every evening. I loved her back. And just about the time I was considering bringing her into the house, what do you think happened?
Friday, November 21. We were walking our routine walk when I vehicle stopped to talk and yes, it was her owner. I don’t care to go over the whole conversation, but I tell you I know they were telling the truth about ownership. I let her go.
Sheba and I were together for two months. My spirit is longing, my heart is broken, and I don’t really want to replace her unless I can have a puppy from her.
I’m wondering what God is planning for me next.
Allow me. Time to visit an animal shelter even though you do not want to replace her.
Just a visit will melt your heart and what’s it gonna hurt? Cheers To all Animal Lovers.
Donna, God made you the keeper of that dog to protect and care for until the owner came forward. I know that hurt of becoming attached to an animal only to have to give it up. It’s so hard when we give of ourselves like that and then have to let go.
What you did, as difficult as it was, was a kind and wonderful thing
Donna, you kept Sheba safe until she could be found, there are so many lost pets at the Animal shelters now since the storm and many more being found all over Galveston and Galveston County..
It is said and I believe, that if you rescue an animal.. that animal will never leave you or forget you. Ever..
Go rescue an Animal.. one is waiting, maybe Sheba was sent to remind you that you needed a pet and more than that,,, a pet needs you.
Thanks Ladies,
All of your comments are very encouraging. I will remain open and positive to new encounters of the four-legged kind!
greeneyedlady said it perfectly. There is a dog in need at a local animal shelter just waiting for you. Here is my rescued pup and she is so full of love. Probably making up for the 2.5 years of neglect in her short life.
I called the shelter today to inquire about the dogs they have on hand. There are some puppies being bottle fed at this time. They are mixed with Lab and another breed. I will go by there tomorrow to see for myself.
Please let us know. Are you thinking of big or smaller breed?
You will eventually find the dog you are meant to rescue. Good luck!
I want a medium size dog, with an even temperment, you know not too hyper.
