| Our precious boy. |
Seven years ago today, my (then) boyfriend & now DH, brought home a tote bag from work. His dog, Mackey, was very interested in that bag and began to sniff it and check it out. Soon after, a tiny white puppy peeked out his head to meet his new brother.
I received a call at my house from my then boyfriend (this was before we were living in sin) telling me he "had a surprise." I instantly knew what that meant. "You got that puppy, didn't you?" I asked, wondering why in God's green Earth someone would want TWO dogs. :)
I went over to what is now our house to meet this teensy little fellow named Steve. He was PRECIOUS - a tiny, white, curious, sweet smelling boy with razor sharp teeth and deadly sharp claws. My heart changed from that day on A love for this sweet boy that I could not describe developed so quickly and intensely. (For the record, I was falling in love with my future husband, too - ha!) Steve and his mom had an instant bond that continues today. With my heart so full, I can ONLY begin to imagine the kind of love a mother has for her human child. It may sound crazy, but that's the kind of dog mom I am.
My precious baby dog was a funny, silly, naughty, crazy, energetic, sweet boy then just as he is today. Except now his 122 pound body is a little heavier at age 7 than it was as a handful of pounds at 4.5 weeks!
Happy "Gotcha" Day, Steve. I love you, my "tiny manz."
