A Dog Story

We had someone come and meet our dog on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday she brought her dog over and the two dogs really didn't care at all about each other. They didn't fight or anything close, but they didn't play either. Our dog will do whatever the other dog wants to do. We have had a number of dogs play with her and she will play if they want to play or sit around if they want to sit around. This other dog just wanted to sit around, so ours did the same.

The person left with the intention of taking her on Saturday (the start of the weekend), but she called this morning to say that a family member had a medical situation in another state and she would be out of town for a couple weeks. She said that she wouldn't be able to take our dog. I told her that she could call in a couple weeks to see if we still have her and if we did, she could take her. She didn't act like that was a possibility.

This didn't disappoint me at all because our dog didn't seem to thrilled about the arrangement. It is very interesting how my perspective has changed over the last few years. When something like this happens, when the person looking at our dog called this morning, my first thought went to wondering what the Lord is doing. I always stand in awe and wonder at what he is doing in our lives - even if it is in something so minor as a dog.
