Fate...
 

Well, as everyone knows, I lost my precious She-Ra this week. As I was coming home from the vets Wed and got a call from a friend. It was weird, b/c I was getting ready to call her to let her know about She-Ra. Anyhow, I told her what happened and she said, "well it is a bad time, I will call you later." I told her nonsense, what is on your mind. She said, "well, remember I bred Kirby to Ms Redman's dog Sophie." I said yeah, She said she got pick of the litter, a female, and is not going to keep her, b/c she isn't home enough. And wondered if I was still going to get a second female. I almost broke down. I told her yes, most definitly!! I love She-Ra and will never ever replace her, but I do miss a froo froo baby, Harley really isn't in to the dress up. So anyhow, I am getting her next month when she is 8 weeks.

That is only half of it. My hubby's the aunt, the one I bought She-Ra from called me last night. She was telling me about Ms Redman's pups, and I interrupted her, and said I was getting the daddy's pick of litter. She said well I am so happy, b/c Sophie is She-Ra's sister and that is why I was calling you, b/c I thought you would like to have a close relation!!

I can't believe it!! She will be She-Ra's niece, so she will be extra special!!!!
I have already named her "Lowry's Isabella Blue", gonna call her Bella. She is so precious, warmed my heart when I held her. It was like She-Ra was smiling down and said "It's ok mom, I know you love me and always will, but this baby needs someone like you. I give you my blessing for her."

So, anyhow... I know I will never forget She-Ra, she is an exceptional dog, and there will never be another like her, but I feel like it is meant for me to get this puppy. It feels so right. It doesn't feel like I am trying to replace her, I can't really explain it.

I will post pics of her as soon as I go get some, I ran off and forgot my camera yesterday!!

Love you guys!

Amanda

OMG I have tears streaming doen my face Im so excited for you and that is truely a blessing for you and your family and to know that she is She-Ra's niece. That is so special and warming for you can't wait to see pictures :love:

Oh I am so excited for you! I am so glad you are getting another girl. She wont replace She-ra but she will help your heart to mend. Cant wait to see picturess of your new furbaby.

That is such good news. I am glad you have something to look forward to and someone to "help" fill the void in your heart.

Wow!
 

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I had goose bumps reading your story. Bella is a beautiful name. I am so happy for you. And I'm sure your beloved She-Ra wants her mommy to be happy!

Amanda, what a wonderful note and I am so happy for you. Life really is full of strange twists and turns.

I do believe in fate and your story just confirmed my belief. That is most certainly a message from She-ra that it is okay to love another baby :) I am so happy for you. :)

You've got me crying over here...I'm soooo sorry you lost your She-Ra...
You getting Bella sounds like it's meant to be...And the bonus is that she's closely related to your baby She-Ra. Time will help with the pain of losing your baby, and Bella will help you through this too.

How wonderful for you!

Pot of Gold
 

Wow, Amanda, it sounds like this was meant to be. I know you hurt and you will always miss your precious little She-Ra, but sometimes there is a little light waiting at the end of the dark tunnel. Almost like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I am so very excited for you, the time will pass before you know it and you will have a part of She-Ra in the flesh.

Life sure operates in mysterious ways. I like the name Bella. It is very elegant.

I'm typing thru my tears. Your story was told with such grace. What a beautiful way to bring a bit of joy back into your heart. Loosing a beloved pet is so hard, but it really looks like She-Ra is smiling down on you. May these 2 pups have a very special place in your heart forever.

I am so happy for you! My Mom always says God doesn't close one door without opening another. You angel is watching down on you and is so happy for you.

OMG, I have chills reading this. I say God puts you where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Can you imagine how many things had to fall into place for this to happen? Yes, miracles do still happen. Congratulations!!!

I totally agree!! I know you will never forget your little girl - she will forever be in your heart and will always be with you. I think it is wonderful you have a chance to get another baby girl and one so close related as well. Good for you! She will be one special girl! - and Bella is sooooo sweet!!!! Can't wait to see pictures!

This such wonderful news. We are all very happy for you and your family..a new baby is a wonderful pain killer. She-Ra will never be forgotten and will always have a special place in your heart.

Oh gosh. I first want to apolojize for not being up to date on what happened to She-ra. I really didn't know anything until i saw this thread. I am so sorry first and fore most, I know how you feel all too well. I am not sure what happened to your girl, but believe me, it doesn't matter in the long run, what matters is that we loved them and did the best we could for them. So sorry I didn't know sooner. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Contact me for anything if you need me. I'll cry with you if needed. Take care and keep your chin up because you are a great yorkie mom!

That's so heartwarming and sounds like it's meant to be....Your She-Ra IS still in your heart... and the nice thing about our hearts is they hold lots and lots of room for love....Enjoy your new baby and celebrate She-Ra's life thru her little niece....that is so touching

That is so wonderful. Congratulations on Bella. I can't wait to see her.

How Sweet.............
 

Well, I'm typing in tears...... I know you were heart broken, but this is a blessing for you! I'm so happy you are getting a new "baby" AND you have some wonderful friends. Congrats! Will be looking forward to pictures. :)

Amanda, that's wonderful news! I know you will protect She-ra's sweet space in your heart and it will always be there! I am so thankful that you will have this new baby to love and she will have her own special place! God bless you!

wow. if thats not fate, im not sure what is! that is suck an amazing story, bet you cant wait to have she-ras niece with you :aimeeyork

OH I am so happy for you! Of course you aren't replacing She-ra. It's because she was so much a part of your life that you want this new little girl in your home! I've been there, we got Tucker after Bandit died. And it is special when there is a connection! We had gotten Bandit on April 8th, which was Megan's birthday. (He was her present) And then when we went to look at Tucker we found out he was BORN on April 8th. It just felt right, the same way Bella feels right. And to think that she is actually related to She-ra just makes it seem so right! I'm so happy for you.

Oh, I am so glad for you, just as all the others are. The Lord works in mysterious ways, they say, and it is so true in this case. I know you are not replacing your She-ra. No pet can be replaced. But you are getting another to fill the empty space in your heart. And it is so wonderful that she will be She-ra's niece!

This is such a beautiful story for you after your sudden loss. I was following your baby's story from when she wasn't feeling well and was devastated for you and your family. Bella will help heal you! Congrats!!

I am SO happy for you!! Congratulations! It won't replace your other baby as you said, but it will help you heal. Good Luck and have fun! How cool is the relation thing!!?!

You have me crying again! I am so happy for you and She-ra knows that you are not replacing her! She sent you this little angel and I am sure she is very happy that you will have her! I love the name Bella that is so cute!

Ok, tears here too, I'm so happy for you. That is wonderful.

OMG I'm so happy for you!! That IS fate!! :jump28ib:
