Ebear will soon have a new friend to play with... neighbors down the road!
Em had been telling me about praying for a new puppy and
the searches on which she'd been led.
She told me about various breeds and various litters, and finally she told me about a special lady who she'd called and felt an immediate connection... even over a phone line.
(Isn't that like the God we serve? to connect us beyond the physical?)
She, KG, SJ and TS asked me to accompany them to the house with the litter of 11 puppies.
all our hands reached in to touch the golden bundles of soft fur and floppy ears.....
... then when I saw the momma dog sitting adoringly and calm at her master's feet.... I agreed with Em....
this could surely be the one to whom she was led...
After losing a friend who'd taken you through beginning a marriage, graduating from college, first, second and third babies... how could another take her place.
Hunny was one of a kind!
Then we heard this sweet new friend talk about her dog, the mother of this litter...
she felt the same way Em did and they felt more than words would convey.
But
some will say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I agree... it reveals more than my words!
then it came to a choice....
4 little females
2 larger and lighter
2 almost identical and smaller, like their momma dog...
This is she!
.... it is clear when choices are made from lofty positions...
it is clear when you look with your eyes, touch with your hands,
and then know with your heart.........
This is the one!
So a little red ribbon was attached to her neck to let everyone know
She is chosen...
she has been prayed for....
she will be going home to a place that is ready and waiting for her to play, snuggle, and tussle with a family who knows how to love a dog.
Hunny will have no replacement.... just like our Chrissy, just like our Bubba, and just like our precious Rusty.... no replacements, but God allows our hearts to love again, and that we will do!

Awwwww, how precious!! Hmmm, chosen ... prayed for ... going to a home that is ready & waiting for her ... with a family that knows how to love her ... sounds ve-ery familiar ... like maybe, perhaps involving Jesus and ...uh .. oh yes, me! And, of course, you guys and the rest of His (if I may) "litter!"

John 14:2-3!
