Woah. Just Woah. Amazing. 

Reminds me of the time I adopted a dog. Dexter. He was big and yellow and manly and I needed love. But he was a yard dog and I was an apartment dweller. He wasn’t leash trained, and I lived at the ocean side where the whole world came to hang out and stroll along the water. Picture a social labrador in that environment, 85 lbs of manly muscle, and skinny ole me trying to teach him to behave on a leash. A day and a half after taking him home, I cried. I couldn’t picture another decade of him pulling on the leash. I was so sore from trying to keep him under control. I wanted to revoke my committment to him. I called the family who gave him to me, and said I couldn’t do it. They cried with relief. They couldn’t eat or sleep because they realized after the fact that it was wrong to send their family member away. They thought they had to because it was expensive to move with 3 kids and an 85 lb dog. Suddenly they knew it was worth it. And then I turned around and adopted my 2nd choice: Midori. Midori is my soul dog, and I couldn’t have made it through my singlehood without her. All’s well that ends well. Wild Woman is heading to her true home, just as Dexter did.
