Sometimes I tire myself out I'm so all over the place, lol.
As most of you know xBF moved out at the beginning of the month and took his two dogs with him. My dog was devasted at losing him, and her sisters. She was depressed, not eating, being totally clingy and just not herself.
My sister decided to get a puppy, and then woke up to the fact that it would cost a ton and be a lot of work (she's not ready). So I decided to look into adopting. We met a few dogs on Saturday, but Kita didn't click with any of them. So Sunday I said to my sister "If we're meant to get another dog, it will just fall into our lap". (as a side note, we were also watching a movie with a character named Toby and I told my sis if a dog does fall in our lap we should name him Toby).
Soooooooo... Monday morning an email gets circulated at work (I work in the government regulating veterinary drugs). One of the vets has a client who needs to rehome her dog because she got a new job and can't take care of him. She sent a picture and at first glance I thought it was Kita. He looks identical to her!! And of course . . . his name is Toby. If thats not the big man upstairs telling me something, I don't know what is.
We went and met him last night and they got along like they've been friends forever. In fact, they got along so well that the lady told us to take him that night even though she was hoping to keep him through Christmas. She didn't want to separate

We watched it when we were kids and it was on sale at Rogers for $2.99 so my sis bought it. It was for nostalgic purposes really!!!

Well if that isn't fate, I don't know what is. I'm sure they will be life long buds.

In dachshund groups we would call it a dox-a-pult(ripoff on the word catapult)...since often even if you have just lost a dog and no way ready for another things just happen in a way to let you know it really is time for another...who often tends to be a rescue or similar.
I got my Twinkie angel when 2 co-owners were not getting along and one threatened she was going to put Twinkie down at only 3 years old.
