I'd
like to share how Aimee came to me.
My husband
and I were trying to have "just one
more" baby. After a year of trying, I
became pregnant, but the baby was ectopic, and I
had to terminate the pregnancy. It was the
hardest thing I've ever had to do in my
life. And my husband and I both feel it
best that we not tempt fate again. The baby
would have been due in mid-February. Around
that same time, I had a dream that I got a little
black puppy. I've never been much of a dog
person, but I couldn't get that puppy off my
mind. So I finally asked my husband
to call a breeder for me. They started out
with ten puppies. By the time we could make
the drive to go see them, there was only one
left, my little black Aimee. She was 8
weeks old at the time. The man said he
thought the others were cuter, they were all
cream colored. I thought it was more than
coincidence that only the little black puppy,
just like in my dream, was left for me. And
for the first time since losing my baby, I'm
starting to feel whole again. I've never
seen a sweeter puppy. She's so much like a
human baby. She cries to be held. She
cries to sleep in our bed at night. She can
be wreaking havoc on the house one minute, and
then snuggled up in my arms asleep the
next. I honestly believe that she and I
were made for each other!
