[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 531159, member: 455"] Hound, I'll say this again (copied from my post in your other original thread about Sadie): "Sometimes angels come to us in different forms then we expect and speak to us in languages we don't understand. Ours is to accept and embrace it. I DO believe in fate very very strongly! Open you mind, you are being observant now, continue. Your answer is there and will be totally revealed if you allow it. Ok.....sounds like mumbo jumbo.....but wait and see!" I'm not kidding! Oh, on a side note, a little over a year ago I went looking at a shelter to adopt a small dog, a maltese type one. I didn't find one at the shelter I looked. It happened to be a kill shelter as well. All the dogs were barking their heads off of course.
