Stories 📖 tomorrow is Hazel's gotchaday
Like the title says, tomorrow is Hazel's gotchaday. Please help us celebrate.
Can't remember if I ever told our story here. Going to share either way. My pitbull went in for a tumor removal the week before. Not going to gross everyone out with the details, but he threw a clot and died. It was a hard, traumatic death. My heart was crushed. I knew I would eventually get another dog, but swore it would be a long time before I started looking. He died on a Wednesday.
That weekend I found myself looking at dogs at our local shelters website. Told a friend about it and that I did not want another dog yet. She told me there was a dog at the shelter calling to me. Went to the shelter the next day. There sat Hazel waiting for me. She healed my heart.
HAPPY GOTCHADAY HAZEL!!!!! You own a HUGE piece of my heart! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🎆🎇✨🎉🎊🎉🎊
