The little GREAT Stories.

Monday morning I receive a text message from Corey.  Corey works for us. He's one of Kris' childhood friends. He sits next to me daily.  I've watched him grow, I've watched him stumble.  I've watched him make good decisions, and sometimes not such good decisions.  Most always giving his heart away.  Most always helping someone.  Most certainly related to being 24.  Or something like that.  The shop across the street blessed our view one morning with little puppies following her Mama around.  Yes, she wasn't spade.  Puppies everywhere.  Corey took one home.  The story continues, with...takes her to the apartment.  Apartment can't keep her.  Asking around, neither can any of the other 22-24 year olds that still live at home, or rent in places that cannot house him.   Meet Bentley.  5  month old Sheppard Mix. Beautiful guy.   So as Corey sat in tears, yes tears, I started my quest to find little guy a GOOD new home.  Somewhere that I would trust.  Somewhere he would trust.  So the text and email went out.  Several flooded back in.  

Only a dog owner, current or other would get it.  A dog will be your BEST FRIEND.  They look at you square in the eyes with trust, loyalty, kindness, love, and most of all respect.  They appreciate you more than any human on this earth will.    A phone call comes in.  A guy named Garrett.  He had just lost his dog of 8 years.  Asking some specifics, and giving his to us.  Lives in Temecula.  Has a large yard, pool, 2 other pups, and guaranteed Corey he would sleep indoors along with his others.  

Here is the match.  Within 1 day.  Bentley left with uncertainty, and fearing the unknown.  Tears fell from Corey's face.  This picture took all that away today.  Thank you Garrett for making our day.  Bentley will have a forever home.  A home with people that love dogs.  Love animals.  Kindness to the helpless.  

And being a part of a pack for the rest of your life is what it's all about.  Bless Garrett and his wife. May they have many many fun memories with Bentley.  May he enjoy his new life out there in wine country.   Cheers to that!



Have fun peeps, and BE KIND TO ANIMALS.......
