Seamie's Third Gotcha Day!


Recommended Posts

Happy Gotcha Day to Seamie! :confetti :confetti :confetti

 

I agreed to foster a "plain jane brindle senior with no personality" many years ago. Our area adoption coordinator said those four strikes (plain brindle, senior, no personality and not cat safe) would make her almost impossible to re-home. I thought right away that she was a beautiful little girl and after she recovered from her depression over being dumped by her family of six years, the most awesome personality emerged. I fell madly in love with her and didn't want to let her go. When I called the adoption coordinator and told her I wanted to adopt her, she was astonished that I would want her when there were so many "beautiful, young dogs" available. This was my beloved Chloe. I had three short but wonderful years with her and 9 years later hardly a day passes that I don't think of her and how special and lovely she was. I was so blessed to have her in my life.

 

Some people just can't see a diamond right in front of their face. And Seamie is definitely a diamond. :beatheart

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown

:bighug Seamie has the best friends, thank you all.

 

 

(not much personality? that is like saying the ocean isn't very wet :youcrazy )

His whirled was upside down, having been returned as a senior :( I guess the most personality he showed was when the foster family tried to play tennis. He would stand in between them, like a net :lol

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
