Hi everyone...well not sure if it was 'fate' or just 'pure coincidence' but we have been donating to a dog rescue for quite a lot of years now and I was talking to 'the hubster' about how I had this gaping hole since we lost Ollie and I know nothing would ever replace him...but we decided to put our name forward to rescue a dog and give it a good home...so I sorted all the forms out and just left it at that. So last Friday my Grandson and I were just sat chatting and he said if you ever get another dog Nana what would you call it? ..so I thought about it and I said Betty for a girl and Bertie for a boy LOL
Saturday morning the phone rang..and it was the rescue centre did I fancy adopting a spaniel he's chocolate brown and he's 12 months old and his name is 'Bertie'...she must have thought I was crazy because I just burst into tears...and to make it more amazing it would have been Ollie's 14th birthday the same day. So here is Bertie! made himself at home already..so gentle and so loving and I'm sure there are 2 special dogs somewhere over the rainbow bridge looking down on us all knowing Bertie will have a truly loving home.
