"Fonzi" and " Lucky "

Ok, so life is funny isn't it?? Boy what a week I've had !!! So, Thursday, my sister had to put down her Fonzi that she's had for 11 years. I went to be by her side for support.. Turns out she was much stronger than I had imagined she would be..I guess when we love something so much- our fear of them or it being in pain eventually outweighs us wanting them or it around. Im not sure I could have been as strong about Fonzi as she was. But, Fonzi was very sick and in allot of pain. I watched her hold him as he passed. I cant even think about it without crying. Not because he's gone, but more because I was blessed to witness love in its purest form. What a beautiful thing, the love between them. She loved him so much she couldn't bare to see him in pain any longer. Maybe we could all step back and learn a lesson from dogs? They cant talk, but we know they love us. They cant give advise, but they know when we are hurting. Just there presence soothes us, because they know we need it. They don't care if we bathe much less what are hair looks like. A pure unconditional love. Isn't that what we all seek? So, Friday, the next day, I was telling my husband that I would like a big dog. Yeah I know its nuts, I already have a chow, and a little terrier.. Why the hell would I need yet another dog? That's just nuts, but my husband didn't say anything. So I just didn't say anything else about it. We all get up Sunday morning and go to my family's beachouse..Flash forward- My daughter and her friend and I where all playing in the ocean, when we see a BIG black dog go up to where my family was on the beach. Us girls being curious, walk back on shore to look at the dog. Yall, this dog was sooo emaciated it broke my heart- He was a big black lab, that is about 15-20 lbs underweight- Im guessing- maybe more-I gave him water and some ham.. he sat- he gave me his paw- then it happened- he layed down next to me and put is paw in my lap- It was all over then- I had to rescue him- Now- I don't think he was just a coincidence at all- I truly believe he came to me for a reason- I know Fonzi had something to do with it.. Needless to say- we brought him home last nite-gave him a bathe- and named him Lucky- I think we are the lucky ones. Yes we rescued him from certain death- But Im willing to bet- My family will be the lucky ones just to have him in our lives. I'm taking him to the vet this morning- Hopefully- he's ok- If not- He will be soon..
