TWO DOGS AND FIVE FISH

2-18-11...TWO DOGS AND FIVE FISH

Some of you know about my Poodle Moses. Some of you know that Moses was killed by a car in August, 2010, just a few days after my 66th Birthday. Very few know how I suffered from it.
Just the next day after Moses died all my fish in the aquarium died. The fish may not sound like too much to some but I had these fish for over three years. Same five fish that I got so much pleasure from watching. I didn't even mention to anyone that I grieved over my fish for fear of being called foolish.
I have lost several other dogs over my lifetime but somehow Moses seemed to be the last straw for me. I said never again will I have a dog because losing is too hard. I even decided not to ever love anything or anyone again because I felt like I had lost everything I had ever loved. Foolish? Yep, sure was.
I was offered dogs, told about dogs, and told I needed a dog but I said “No! I can't go through that again. I'm never getting another Dog I always lose them.” I meant that with all my heart. I didn't want to be hurt again. Didn't think I could stand it, didn't want to even try.
One day I was looking for something else on the internet and saw some little Chihuahua puppies for sale. OMG I saw one little cream colored one with a chocolate colored nose. Cutest little puppy I ever saw. For three whole days I just kept going back and looking and kept saying NO! And quickly backed off the site. This went on for several days. One morning I finally decided to e-mail the lady and just talk to her. Yaw Sure! She asked for my phone no. O>>>>>>K.
She talked me in to meeting her at WalMart and she brought four puppies from the same litter. Right up till I saw those dogs I was still saying No, I don't want a dog. NO! She was pushing a female and I wouldn't even look. I was looking at the beautiful little cream color with the chocolate nose. After I took him in my arms I was hooked. This is my dog and I wont put him back. I paid her, she gave me his papers, I said Thanks and headed inside WalMart to get dog supplies. By the time I got home he was KoKo and we had bonded.
A few days later I was finally looking over KoKo's papers. I discovered he was born on 08-24-2010 @ 3:09 PM. Hmmm, That sounded familiar and I think I know why. Yep, My calendar says Moses died 08-24-2010 @ 5:15 PM. Yes I think I was meant to just stumble on KoKo's picture on the web. Some tell me I'm being silly. Heck, Don't matter to me what they think. I know the facts. YEP!!
