I know that not all people believe everything happens for a reason but I do. I believe there is a purpose for everything that happens in my life.
In the photos with my derpy Dalmatian is Jared. Jared is a dog that Piper really felt comfortable with and despite his handful of returns for being too energetic or family is moving, I started to consider bringing him home for Piper but it would take some convincing with my husband. He had finally broke down and when I came back from my weekend ready to take him home, he had been adopted. I was happy and sad at the same time, but more sad for Piper.
In a previous blog I talked about a Husky puppy at my work who was very sick and if she made it, she would come home with me. Well, she did not make it. She had distemper and started to show severe neurological signs and it was decided to humanely euthanize her as she was suffering and making zero progress despite aggressive medical treatment.
The collar in the picture is Jared’s collar from when he was returned. It sat on my desk at work for weeks and weeks in hopes he would get returned so I can take him home. I know that sounds shitty to say but he’s a high energy dog that went home to an apartment with college students with inconsistent schedules. His adopter decided to go back to China resulting in him being returned by a roommate. He is currently on stray hold because he was returned by someone other than the owner but will be coming home to be Piper’s partner in crime on 5/29 ❤️
