I don't mean to sound cheesy by all means, but the moment I saw that little fur-ball and held her in my arms was the day that my life had meaning again.
It all began years ago with the loss of one of the family's pet which happened to be a cocker-spaniel as well; her name was Ally and she had just turned one. It was a rough and tough loss that I never thought that I could love another animal again.
One day at work, I was randomly browsing Craigslist and came across a posting stated, "COCKERSPANIEL ONLY $150". I still lived with my parents and in the back of my head I could already hear my mother yelling, "Ah no, not another animal under this roof". Yet I took a chance because I just knew my mother would fall in love with her.
I remember the exact moment I fell in love with her, I was anxiously sitting in my car at a Walgreen's parking lot waiting to meet her. I felt so dangerous yet afraid at the same time because meeting up with someone from Craigslist alone wasn't the best route. As cars continued to pass me, I started to become more and more nervous. Just my luck a big blue van parks right next to my little black car, my first thought process was, "I'm about to get scammed." Out jumps a little blonde hair-blue eyed girl from the sliding van and gives me a box with a blanket. I open the box and there she was, a beautiful little hairy coned head shape, big black nose, circular eyeballs, long haired ears, and a bright pink tongue with small bubbles appearing on her tongue every time she softly panted. In that moment, her bright beaming eyes met with mine. Meet Abby! 🐾
