More Happy Tails | March 2, 2011

 

I sit here on the couch loving the most wonderful, beautiful, girl in the world. I could cry when I think of this sweet loving smart dog, who almost did not land in my arms. She was not my first choice and she was not my second, yet here she is with me.   (My first two candidates needed some work before they could be taken home) Here she is lying on the couch next to me being my sweet companion. The reason I did not choose her initially, was because I was prejudiced.

 I had a preconceived idea I could not handle a Jack Russell. They have a reputation for being full of energy, and I was so sure she would have too much for me to handle. Yet somehow my Angels were directing this adoption, and I ended up with the dog I was suppose to have, adorable, sweet smart and talented Bee Bee.

 She came into my life just before Christmas 2010 and all I can say is it gets better everyday. I am amazed by her constantly, that this sweet little girl is learning to trust me and is so precious. We have hardly been apart and of course she is right beside me in bed every night. This cute little critter has not had one accident in the house is very obedient and very attentive. I know she had a hard life before she arrived (a litter, a large cut on her leg, and being taken by the Humane society) but she has learned to adapt to her new life brilliantly.

 We spend half of our week in the city and the other out East. This little girl knows the  city building well in advance, I let her off leash and she runs up the stairs of the building and then onto the apt and stops at the door. She has learned to deal with city noises and gets more and more comfortable with every trip.

When in the Hampton’s we walk with our friends on the beach and she runs free and is so happy. It is an absolute pleasure to watch her jump for joy and to let me know how happy she is, that I am sure my heart will burst with love and pride.

Thank you for bringing this bundle of joy into my life. And I thank my dear friend Jonathon McCann for trusting that I was ready to be a parent and gently encouraged me along the way to go forward.

I cannot thank him enough for this incredible gift.

Much Love

Linda and Bee Bee
