My beloved fur baby Bettie passed a year ago. I got to spent 12 amazing years with her. I didn’t want to bring another pet into my life. It was just too hard and I didn’t want to replace her. I was asked to dog sit for a weekend and agreed. It was so comforting and my heart warmed at every snuggle.
I started just looking at rescue websites. I’m not going to adopt, I’m just looking. Then I looked more and more as my heart opened up to the idea that I can love another.
Then I came across All Paws Rescue and Bobby McGee. It was love at first sight. He was a stray so no one knew his history. He was heartworm positive and would need special care forever. So many negative thoughts hit me, excuses to not give him a chance.
Everyone deserves a second chance. He deserves a clean slate. I went to PetSmart and got to meet him. When I held him for the first time he licked my cheek. Well that was it. He had to come home with me.
I’ve never had a small dog so it’s all new to me to have a chihuahua. He just graduated puppy training at PetSmart and will move to intermediate soon. He’s not replacing my dear Bettie. He’s her little brother. I love him dearly and am so blessed to have him in my life.
