What is it about a dog that can bring such incredible love and joy to a home? My wife Patty and I have been so blessed watching our daughter Becca - 19 yrs old - who just got her first dog that we adopted - a beautiful 16 month old Golden Retrieveer. Becca named her Sadie Grace and it was truly amazing to see how fast Sadie Grace bonded with Becca! She's such a sweet dog and has such a cute and sweet disposition about her. But she's still got some puppy left in her and she loves to play.
I was thinking, this evening, about how awesome God is! Think about it, you couldn't take a cub lion and raise it up to be a pet ... it has an instinct to hunt and in time it would most likely kill you. The same goes for most other wild animals. But was is it about a dog! There are some wild dogs, but dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years. God knew what kind of a companion and friend a dog could be! I"m truly amazed. You see, we have 2 cats that are also super sweet but if they don't feel like coming over to be peted, then they just won't come over ... But a dog, on the other hand, will come right over and show it's affection and unconditional love. That's how Sadie Grace has been with Becca. When I went downstairs this morning to see if Sadie needed to go outside, she was curled up in bed with Becca. It was so precious! Yes, Becca finally got her dog and I'm so thankful that we were finally able to get her one. (Dad really wanted her pretty bad too!) She is a joy and a blessing to our home and I know she will bring us much more joy and love for years to come! Welcome to our home Miss Sadie Grace!
