So in my lameness on this trip I fell in Love. No not with a boy, I did fall in love with God but someone else has my heart.
The pastor that we have been working with found her in the gutter a few days ago and decided that it would be a good idea to pick her up and take her to children’s home we were going to be working at that day. Yea some of the people of this country aren’t the smartest, the puppy was very sick and malnourished to the max but as soon as we got to the house I decided to act and try and do something. I picked her up and gave her some water but she was so lethargic that she wouldn’t take it. So Alycia and I put some of the rice from our lunch into a bowl with some water and mashed it up and she ate it all after that she was a little more perky but at the same time really tired.
As soon as the kids got there and she began to get man handled, it broke my heart. As the day rolled on I was trying to teach the kids about being gentle with her and talking to the women who ran the home how to take care of her and to take the time to care about her.
So we left the home and I was heartbroken realizing that there was no way that she was going to survive the night. Everyone told me to not get attached, I don’t think that they all really understand my love for dogs it’s kind of horrible how much I love dogs and the fact that I want to have a lot when I get a house and have the money, but I did and I was preparing myself for the worst when we got back the next day.
When we got back she was alive and tired again, and though I had a pretty bad attitude with the taking care of her thing (long story short I didn’t pick up the poop the she had decided to make when I said that I would the day before, I felt like the people there should take care of it, yea really lame, sorry teammates)
So even though I only spent two days with this little yellow heart snatcher I’m going to continue to pray for her even if she does die soon I know that she will go to Heaven, and if she lives I know that she will be a blessing to that home and those kids
Skippy i truly believe was sent from the sprit to us for a reason, even though we bother her and annoy her she still loves us and knows that at the end of the day she get a bowl of food. She is God’s little helper when it comes to our protection and trust in anything.
Pray for please: the children of this home that their lives will finish out with Joy and no more sorrow and Mercy that she grows into the best blessing this place has ever known.
