My mom's best friend was widowed almost 2 years ago. She has been very lonely. She has always had dogs, but recently lost her sweet little poodle to old age. I have been involved in animal rescue for years, so she asked me to help her find a new companion. I located a sweet little chihuahua named Samantha. Her mom went to live in a care home and was not able to take Samantha with her. Samantha was lonely and looking for companionship. A perfect match for my mom's friend, Margaret. Samantha is a beautiful 8 year old long-hair chihuahua. I went to meet her and she was absolutely darling. A little chubby (aren't we all), very quiet and low energy. And very very affectionate. Took Miss Sammie home with me on Friday evening. She was a bit overwhelmed by my pack (who wouldn't be), but settled in nicely. Mr. Popeye attempted to be a bit romantic with Miss Sammie, so I had to have a talking with him. Who would have thought that a three-legged, 3 lb chi could get his groove on??? Miss Sammie survived my crazy house and we took her over to Margaret on Sunday morning. It was truly a match made in heaven. Margaret was waiting for us and ran outside when we drove up. She just scooped Sammie up, held her close and gave her a sweet kiss on her head. Sammie loved her right back. I think Margaret is not going to be lonely any more.
What a great story. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet story. I'm glad I found your blog - we're a dog family too....or should I say we have "Furry children"..
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story! I'm so glad you helped these two get together. We have a dog whose 94 year old 'dad' passed away and he (Bear) had to go to the shelter. We heard his story and now Bear is sleeping happily on our front porch. He loves to visit back and forth between our house and my parents next door.
ReplyDeleteOur fur babies are so special to our lives!
I just love how you found such a perfectly suited match. BOTH of them needed the companion. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAnd I giggled about the three legged chi getting the groove on... of course I did!
Oh, That was such a great story, I love happy endings! I can understand why Popeye could not control himself Miss Sammie is quite beautiful!Perhaps he just needed to be reminded on the ways of being a gentleman! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteMy sister has been in animal rescue for years, what a great part you play in some animals life, thank you!
Oh this story certainly warms my heart- it really was a match made in heaven- such a sweet sweet story.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for all the nice comments. Margaret and Sammie are getting along wonderful. When we got back from camping this past weekend, there was a phone call from Margaret giving me an update on Sammie. They just adore each other. Margaret has been lonely for so long. This really warms my heart to see her happy again:)
