I was reminded today about love. Almost a year ago, it was around my birthday (March), I wanted a puppy desperately to add to our new addition of a crazy ass pit bull hell dog rescued from Brooklyn. My husband was hell bent on getting Matilda and I relented. Soon after, I knew, she needed a partner. I emailed, facebooked, blogged, everything I could to find a puppy (pit bull) to join freak, crazy Matilda. Finally, I received an email from Ramapo Refuge in Oakland and they said, "we are expecting two pit bull mix puppies, please come and take a look." Alone, I drove to Oakland and when I arrived, the woman at the desk said, "I'm so sorry. The woman with the puppies won't release them." I was so disappointed. I gave them my cell number and asked them to give it to the woman with the puppies. I went home feeling she would call. 5 days later, the shelter called and said the woman brought in the puppies. A male and a female puppy! I was so excited, I drove directly to the shelter. Once there, I saw two puppies... One was yapping and yelling and jumping all over and the other was calm and sitting and so sweet looking. I knew instantly he was mine. I held him and took a picture and my husband felt he didn't look like a pit bull so I forwarded the picture to my best friend Caroline and she said, "Jordan, that is your dog."
I will never forget it. She was certain. I trusted her and I said yes to adopting him. Today, reminded by love is because, Frankie, my dog, is amazing. He is loving, trustworthy, sweet, reliable, gorgeous and loves my kids.
I am grateful for intuition, I am grateful for shelters, I am grateful for best friends!
