"I Love to Take Care of My Dog"

This is my story on how I got my new Puppy Rocky, who is a full breed Border Collie, he is at the age of 6 months almost, well this February 19, 2007 was my birthday and I had my other dog Tiffany for 15 years of age, she was a mixed breed with Border Collie in her as well, and she was very sick, it was so heartbreaking, and when she had passed away a day right after my birthday, where I keep saying to myself what kind of birthday gift was that, for my dog to die on a day after my birthday, I was so devastated and so sick over her death, where I couldn't eat for days, she was my life that dog because unfortunately I have no children, and she was my child, she was such a blessing to me and my husband, so when she had departed from us, we were both so sick and couldn't function, because when you awoke in the morning and your best friend wasn't there to greet you or anything, it was so heart breaking, and the feeling was so empty, because  a big piece of our hearts were taken from us, but that day we had gone home and stared to do some research on the internet about buying some Border Collies, and we came across this site and we had checked it out and when we had spoken to this lady she was the most amazing person ever and very sympathetic to our loss, and when she had told us that he dog had just given birth to a litter of 8 I had to go and see, so when I had gone to see her litter of puppies, it was all over for my husband and I, there were so many to choose from, but  there was one very special little puppy that came right over to me and fell asleep right on my arm, and believe it or not, we were trying to look for a dog that looked exactly like my other dog Tiffany, so at the time we had  gone to see all those puppies and when we purchased our new puppy, I couldn't bring him home yet because he was still nursing off of his mother, we were so amazed that his face looked exactly like our other dog,  so that day when I had gone to see my new puppy. and then when we had left him, because he was so young to take home, we decided to go to Atlantic City for the day, and when my husband and I got there the person who works behind the desk said to us, are we ok we looked very sad and very depressed, and then we had told him our story on how we lost our other dog, and he felt so bad, and that we had found the sweetest little guy to fill the void of my Tiffany, that he actually gave us a Suite room for two days that we were staying there and until this very day I strongly believe that when I got to the Casino's, and started to playing some games, where I had actually won a lot of money, not much but it helped,  we strongly  think it was our dog Tiffany that was looking down on us and trying to make us feel better, for all the great love and care that we had given her until her dying days, and she was the one who told us to get this new little puppy that we had bought, we love him to death, but he is still a puppy and very nuts, it will take some time, but the training part is very difficult he is very stubborn but he is learning, and I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world, he is our little baby and that is our story on how we got our new and precious little Rocky, and now our little Rocky he is at the age of 6 months and he is still a little terror, but I love him, and I have to say he is his own little individual, nothing compared to my other dog Tiffany who was a saint, I loved her so, and I still can’t stop thinking about her, but my Rocky is filling that void and he is the best but he is still learning, one happy mommy, and I strongly know that this was a sign from our other dog Tiffany who was sending us a sign from heaven to get this little puppy, that was her way of saying thank you mommy for taking care of me for all those years in my good days, and in my bad days, and until my dying days, that was her sign for us for being such wonderful parents that we were she will never be forgotten she will always have a very special place in our hearts and that is forever we love you Tiffany and we miss you so much we are very sad without you, wish you were still here to see your new brother who looks just like you.
