An Addition

 My last post talked about a subtraction in our household. Thank you all for cheering Jaycee on as she starts the next chapter of her life. But this post is about an addition. 

You'll remember that the lovely Daisy joined our household in late June 2022. 

~Daisy June 2022~

Daisy was given to the rescue by her family because she was "having accidents" in their home. And, because they were renovating their house, they didn't want those "accidents" to occur in their remodeled home. It took several months for us to sort everything out medically for Daisy. And I'll add that no expense was spared for those answers, and in the end, what was really a simple but tenacious infection was cleared up with antibiotics - With very, very few "accidents" in our house in the meantime.  

All that made Daisy available for adoption. She would fit into most any household. Daisy gets along with everyone and everything, because she's so easy going. She knows all her manners, having been to advanced obedience, or "finishing school" as I call it, she always does what she's asked. I really could go on and on about Daisy's good qualities, but you get the idea. 

The thought of Daisy leaving kept making me a bit choked up. This was because I or we, including the dogs, have loved Daisy since the day we met her in June - When I got her home that rainy day in June, she was wet and it was a little crazy and chaotic, and all she did was sit there and smile at me ...  I took her picture (below) and at that moment she stole my heart.

I just couldn't let Daisy go, and I felt so selfish in considering keeping her. But in a conversation with a longtime friend, who is also the rescue's foster-home coordinator, I realized it really wasn't. The heart knows what it wants, and how some things are meant to be. So, we pulled the proverbial trigger and adopted Daisy. She is here to stay. Daisy is truly a gift for all of us in our household. And one I am beyond grateful for.
