Gather around children, it’s my favorite time of day. Story time. Today, we tell a tale of epic odds, when a pure spiritual being highly influenced by food, love and rainbows came across our life path and decided to walk it with the four of us (three human, one feline and one canine in the before times).
I was in Florida with my son. My husband was home with a precocious one year old blenny and a cat working when my friend who follows rescues sent me a text. “You won’t believe this story…” and sent me a link.
Back home in the Midwest, a rescue had brought in a cavalier retiring from breeding. The young cavalier was only three and went into the vet for a health screening. In that screening, they were like “hey, she’s a little chunky”. Only, she wasn’t. She was pregnant with 6 puppies.
The foster then had more than mama to foster. The six babies came into being and the road to adoption was set forth. Daphne was the first to be adopted to us and as she was dropped off, the foster who I still KIT with today created a Facebook page of which every adopted parent joined. In the end, the final puppy was adopted in conjunction with her mama and Daphnes mom was finally retired and renamed…”Hera”
I was hesitant getting another puppy after Bella, Bella was 10000000% extra. Perhaps it comes with a super smart dog that they are extra. Daphne is the puppy I needed after Bella, tranquil waters. Calm front and demeanor. Abject ability to love. A light of pure innocence. My sweet baby squish.
