Little Bear Someone Is Looking After You

Several have asked what is happening with Little Bear?
My heart kept telling me you cannot take on this little one and
the mind kept saying -  oh you can do it.

It has taken me many years to learn
not to believe everything your mind tells you....

Requiring so much attention, already a full schedule and
after 3 sleepless nights - a decision was made.

Sunday a visit from my grandson and his girlfriend
and like everyone they fell under Little Bear's spell.
They left and after another sleepless night early in
the morning I made a
call to the Animal Shelter in my near by small town.

I was so emotional and crying that the lady on the phone
told me they would come and pick up the puppy
and they usually do not do this.  She was kind and
understood everything I shared.

A number of people were contacted to see if they
wanted this little one - no one did
Over and over in my mind - I could have drove on home.
But I could not.  The little dog covered with ticks and
from the food and water gulped down must have
been by himself for several days.  So I saved it
and felt so guilty about not feeling I could give it the
attention that it needed.

So the truck pulled up and two normally  friendly dogs,
my Callie and the puppy with tails tucked between
their legs hid under a bench.

They just knew something was going to happen.
The big man picked up the puppy and for 24 hours Callie
acted so sad.

Thinking all is settled and Callie and I will heal
and go on with our lives -
but then
early this morning
an email arrived from my grandson informing
me that he wanted Bear and the boys who live in a big
old home near the university with him will help my
grandson take care of puppy and he is on the way
to Woodhaven to pick him up.

I sadly shared what I had done and that he was no longer
here but I would quickly call
the shelter and was told it was fine for him to come
and pick up Little Bear - but - now there was
a $90 adoption fee.

This did not matter to my grandson - so Little Bear
is in Nashville with 5 or 6  - 22 year old young men.

I gave instruction on how to feed and he will
to be watched and restricted in the big city.
They have a big fenced yard and a crate
and all so excited about having Bear.
Also in several months surgery will have to be performed
and some shots required.

Now how this will end I do not know.
The young men graduate the end of May.
My grandson has several options for his
immediate future.

Plus there is the mom and dad question.
They may not want a puppy in their home.

At the moment this little one has lots of
attention and will be loved.

Nothing is permanent and who knows
maybe I will feel different several months
from now.

Just wanted to share what is happening
to the little puppy that One Woman

picked up in the middle of a country road.
last week.
