Our trainer Ann Masters sent this wonderful story for us to share with you
Soooooooooooo, I was just at the vet with Rocky and a young married couple
walked in with an old yellow lab. They approached the counter and the wife
said, "My husband called earlier this morning. We have an appointment at
4:00 for our dog, Dee Dee."
The woman behind the counter nodded, grabbed some forms and handed them to the couple. "Just have a seat and fill these out," she said, smiling. "Let me know if you have any questions."
The couple sat down and, as the husband began filling out the paperwork, another client's puppy-a fuzzily-adorable, reddish-brown poodle mix of some sort-started sniffing at Dee Dee, tail wagging in a fury. The puppy offered a play bow and, when he got no response from his new acquaintance, started barking madly at Dee Dee. The pup's mother apologized.
"Sorry, he's an energetic little boy-thinks every dog was born to play with him."
Dee Dee's mom laughed and smiled. "It's okay. Dee Dee's an old woman. She'sprobably not much up for playing."
"She looks like a sweetheart," the puppy's mom commented. "How old
is she?"
"About eight," Dee Dee's mom answered, "but we can't be sure. We just adopted her today."
An older dog in need of rescue found a loving home today. That's too rare,and it felt like such a gift to see (a gift too good not to share).
