No problem! I think that's the first time you spelled it incorrectly...if not, I never noticed it. We pronounce her name like: Kasena (short e) because I like the way it sounds but I believe it's suppose to be pronounced like: Sena (short e). I chose the name because of it's meaning: Praise to God. I felt like if I ever forgot to praise Him I'd do it every time I said her name. Lazy way of praying I guess...
Which does make me think of something else...I was just outside thinking about all this and I have to admit a little bit of guilt came over me and after reading the last paragraph you wrote I have no choice but to admit it...I always pray before any big decision making and I did pray about getting Ksena and I believed I got my answer. I know, shame on me! I am only human and I guess I let the situation allow me to be a bit ridiculous. I am thankful I have her and I wouldn't trade her in for a show/breeder Yorkie. I don't know, maybe I have been an animal...and, thanks again for your post and helping me put things in proper perspective! Positive proof everything happens for a reason...

I mean how much simpler can you get than Ben? LOL! Must be so I get the spelling right at least most of the time.  Thanks for not getting aggravated about it.
For what it's worth, I do think most things happen for a reason. It could be that for reasons that may never make themselves clear to us, this was not a good time for you to get into breeding. Maybe there is going to be a more opportune time in your near future? Maybe you were just meant to provide a loving home to Ksena, who may not meet every standard but obviously still has the potential to win over your family's hearts. I have tried to wonder about losing my sweet Sadie with her last litter. I know I learned from it, but surely that cannot be all there is to it. I have decided that I will know when the time is right to think about breeding again, if it ever is. It may be that it is not to be for me. But I do know I will eventually get another girl, just not sure I will breed again. I bet, a time will come for you to get another female too. You will know when it is right. |
