I was just thinking about how I found my two dogs.

Zoe I found online, from just a picture and short description. But I knew she was the dog, I knew she was meant to be my puppy. I waited nearly a month to hear if I could even have her, but I wouldn’t have wanted any other dog.

Oreo I first saw when she was 2 days old, and I picked her out of the litter then. I don’t really know why, other than she had nice coloring that I liked. I wanted that particular puppy. She turned out to be the only girl.

And both dogs became my heart and soul. I couldn’t have asked for two better dogs for me if I had ordered them myself. I am so incredibly lucky to have had Oreo in my life during my teenage years, to have her with me all through college. She kept me sane, gave me a purpose. I got up in the mornings just to go to the park with her. And I am just as lucky to have Zoe now.
