day 11~december views


this right here pretty much sums up my day. i watched ellie and blue while putting together etsy orders, which was kinda tricky. if you find a chewed up paper that smells like dog drowl in your art journaling kit, i am very sorry.

the weird part about this story is i crossed blue’s path many months ago. i was walking out of the 7-11, and saw this angelic looking dog with sad eyes standing on the corner. my eyes then went to the owner (the homeless guy) and i remember getting a bad, sick feeling that was hard to shake off. i never thought about it again until we reconnected. justin recognized him too.
*
we had the whole neighborhood trying to find a home for our blue. (that is his name, by the way) while he was dragging me (literally, i have scrapes to prove it after an unfortunate spill face first into a rose bush) around the block this morning, this lady stopped me and said, “you know, a girl down the street is giving away a beautiful aussie with blue eyes.” it took me a minute before i replied, “oh that is me!”
*
our next door neighborhood is friends with a family that previously owned an aussie and wanted another. they own a popular restaurant in our neighborhood and have a nice big house with a yard, and two older children. the whole family came over tonight to meet blue, and ended up taking him home on the spot. when blue would not let me put a leash on him to leave, i actually felt my heart break.

oh how i fall in love fast and hard… my heart seems to know no other way.
*
but this is a happy ending, and inspiration to anyone who believes they deserve something better than what they have. even if there is not a clear answer in sight, miracles do happen.

i love you, blue…now go be happy.

How is it – that you manage to say the right thing at the right time? Just when I need to hear it?? *but this is a happy ending, and inspiration to anyone who believes they deserve something better than what they have. even if there is not a clear answer in sight, miracles do happen.*

I haven’t commented before, but I so adore your blog. I wanted to give you a virtual hug for what you did for Blue. I had the same heartbreak not a week ago with a stray that stole my heart. It’s so hard to let them go, but so wonderful that we can help them along. I’m so glad you and Blue found each other!

Wooohoooo McCabe! I knew it! I understand how hard it must have been to let him go…but now he has a great family who can love and care for him.
Sending you a great big hug…You have done a fantastic thing…

Oh, you are Blue’s angel; he knew it, too. Aussies are special; I know, we have one. He’s a crazy adhd dog, who should be able to catch frisbees and can’t. (He tries to catch them with his two front paws!) He adores his grouse; he shouldn’t be a lap dog but is. He requires every bit of our energy, and we love him. If I had been near you, we’d have had two, I think!

what a great love story….
By beth on 12.15.08 2:48 pm
dear sweet lady! It is funny how some of the other bloggy girls said you were an angel…because those were the first words that came to mind after reading this. Do you know how powerful your magic is?
By katie lynn on 12.15.08 4:54 pm
Oh I’m so glad! If I could have a dog in my building I would have been in the car lickety split although I’m sure you prefer him staying in the hood. Just another soulmate you’ve met on your path.
