Turns out that there were 3 baby girls in that litter. The breeder wanted to know if I was interested in a girl or did I want my deposit back. She said I didn't have to make a decision yet but once the puppies were 6 weeks for me to come and take a look at them. She said if I wanted one of the girls I could have the pick of the litter then. The 3 girls were absolutely beautiful and basically all looked the same except in size. There was a small, medium and large. I'm looking, thinking the small one is so cute. I'm sitting there with all 3 in front of me. I pick up the small one and medium jumps in my lap to play. I give both attention. Put both down little one walks away medium back in my lap. I set her aside pick up the large one and again medium girl jumps in my lap wanting all my attention. I fell in love right then and there with Piper (medium girl). When the day came for me to bring her home all three girls were still there and Piper (still medium sized) came running to me. It's as if she knew all along I was her mommy. I always tell people I didn't pick Piper out she picked me. I'm sure you'll know when you see your special baby that you're meant to be together. |
I'm convinced that they actually pick us; not the other way around. When I went to get Max from a rescue, I went with the intention of getting another dog. I was already approved for the other dog but when we got there, he nipped at me so obviously he wasn't ready for adoption. My daughter was sitting in a chair while all the dogs were around her feet. Max kept circling around the back of the other dogs like he was trying to work his way up to the front. Man, when he had a chance he jumped in my daughter's lap and gave her the biggest kiss. So guess who we took home instead. He was so happy from the moment he got in the car. He didn't mope around or lose his appetite when he came home. It was like he fit right in.
It was luck that we got him. He had only been at the rescue for a few days. He wasn't even put up on their website yet. He has been my life since he's been in it. I just love my boy!
