Amanda's House Refresh
Before and Afters
When Daisy died I vowed I was done with pets. I was toooooo attached and it took me SO LONG to recover. The guilt and sadness consumed me. The Covid 19 Pandemic and being quarantined didn't help. But I knew I couldn't do it again. My heart was broken. I was embarrassed to admit just how hard the loss of Daisy was for me. It's a dog not a person but she was my person and I was sad.
Our good friends, Dave and Lynnie Johnson, had puppies June 21st. Shorkiepoos. They had four - three boys and a girl. Lynnie reached out. I didn't even reply. We love female pups and I know the girls for first and fast. I said if I ever did this again, I wanted a bigger dog. Shorkiepoos are small.
She posted on her social media each time she gave her puppies to their new owners. Then I saw her in Walmart. We exchanged pleasantries and then I asked about her puppies. She said she had one left and asked if I was interested. I told her we only do girl dogs and I am sure she went first. Dot, their only female puppy was the only one left. I was shocked.
I asked if I could borrow her for 30 minutes to see if it was even a possibility. We followed her home and took Dot for a play date.
I was leaving for Colorado with Kenzie. Hayden was going to football twice a day. Aaron was at work. I knew Mackay wanted her and assured me he could handle her alone, but we knew it would overwhelm him. Lynnie kept Dot while I was out of town and we picked her up on the way home from the airport.
We welcomed Penny Lou into our family August 19. She is healing my heart.
