No I don't need another dog!!!!!!
This is what I said when I saw his picture. But I didn't delete the email. That was my first mistake.
Everyday for a couple weeks I would go & look at him. Those eyes. They really got to me.
He reminded me alot of my Mischif that I lost 4 years ago at Christmas. He was my life. I haven't been the same since. And this little twerp- looks so much like him & the eyes really did it. I could almost see Mischif in them saying "Please Mommie get this baby".
Finally I called the shelter just to see what was up with him. He had been there since Nov. (5 mo). But someone was coming to look at him that day. Great now he will get adopted!!
WRONG!!! They didn't want him.
Soooo - OK what's it gonna take to spring I ask.
This was my second mistake!!
He had a guardian & wasn't that much All vetted & ready to go. A couple days went by & I keep checking on the site.
3rd & final mistake- I sent them a check & said I'M taking him. I really don't believe I did this. Not now- I have one here who is dying with cancer & it is breaking my heart. Why would I do something stupid as this.
Well they say God works in mysterious ways & I am sure he had a reason for me to do this as I felt like someone or something was pushing me to do it.
OK so now we have another baby to love. He's in NC. Great I have trouble getting a transport from there. My Scruffy had to be flown out. Three weeks & no transport. I emailed and asked & emailed some more. I was ready to give up when Finally there was one coming this way. So I emailed Bobbie & ask can you add one. My friend will pick him up in MD if I can get him there. Yep if you can get him to Charlotte. WELL- She may as well ask for a million dollars. That was my problem I couldn't get him from Rockingham to there. So I called the shelter to see if they knew of any transports that came there. Love their hearts they worked so hard with me to help. She said maybe we can get one of the volunteers here to do it. And they did.
This is a good shelter they worked really great with me to let him stay that long & then to help with his transport.
But then another Angel stepped up to the plate. Pam who was taking him from Charlotte to the next transport said I will go half way & get him and overnight him so we can leave early in the morning. This guy had someone upstairs looking after him let me tell you!!
So we were all set to go. Finally I was getting Nestor home.
Nestor - what a weird name!!!!!!!!! Well we will change that I said. So I ask the shelter Where did he get that name??? I thought it was cause he was there so long. She said he reminded her of Nestor the donkey in the Christmas story.
I had to see so I searched the net & found it. I forgot all about that story & how he was part of the birth of Christ.
So- we are going to keep it Nestor.
After all I think I just got a special gift - a gift from Heaven Above. And if so- I know who sent it.
Thank you Mischif. Mommie loves you.
