Here’s a little story, full of magic ✨
For the last three months I have been looking for a rescue dog. To me, having a dog is like having my right arm, without one, I’m useless.
Until this point I’ve applied for nearly 30 shelter dogs with zero luck. Even having physically visited shelters, met the dogs and made an application on the spot, I’ve heard nothing. After each setback, my heart would break a little more.
It’s been in the last fortnight I’ve been having premonitions about a Red Heeler arriving to my door and when that happens, that’s when I’ll find ‘my dog’. Even through I wasn’t specifically looking for a Red Heeler nor have ever owned one, the feeling was strong.
Last Thursday, we had a big storm. Thunder, lightening, heavy rain. For some unknown reason I had an urge to go outside in it. At the door was a Red Heeler. I couldn’t believe it!
I bought her inside, dried her off and went searching for her owner. Even though I knew she’d run away in the storm so she couldn’t be mine, the fact that my premonition was so exact and came true (she was even called Red) made me wonder what it meant. Later that day I posted a story about my yearning for a dog and my premonition…
In response to my story, someone I vaguely know shared that there was a Border Collie in her area looking to be re-homed. Her name was Rose.
Yesterday, I met Rose and I instantly knew she was for me. Rose was bred for cattle work but her instincts failed her. Although she was loved, this quirky little pup didn’t really fit into her farm surroundings.
Had the Red Heeler not showed up to my door, had I not posted about it and my sadness in having no luck securing a dog, Rosie never would have come into my orbit.
In another serendipitous story, my favourite person in the whole would who passed a few years ago was my Grandmother and guess what… her name was Rosie.
Yesterday was the best and happiest day I’ve had in almost a year.
Here’s the first 24 hours Rosie and I have spent together. Although Rosie isn’t down with selfies yet and spends most of her time chilling out on her back, we really are two peas in a pod.
The universe works in both mysterious and beautiful ways ❤️
