Said farewell to a much loved pet, then... what?

True, the universe is always sending another one our way!

So true. I often think about how our current dog came to us and the timing of it. She needed a new home (they were saying if we didn’t take her she was going to be surrendered to the shelter), and we were still grieving the loss of our previous dog. A passing comment helped us meet her and the rest just fell into place.

Further confirmation (somewhat tangential and a bit long, but still kinda relevant),
