But as a complete, total sucker for abused and neglected dogs I might gently suggest that, if you are still thinking about her after the six days, you check with the pound. Because sometimes, like children, doggie blessings come at the perfect time whether we know that it is or not. (Of course, sometimes they don't, but I think it's always a good idea to stay open to the possibility.) *sigh* Yes, you did the right thing.

I know that neighborhood well, and that dog had no business being out on its own. And no, you are not ready for a dog yet, for all the reasons you've mentioned. But.....one day...one day....I know you will fall in love with a dog. People talk about dogs being child-replacements, but it's not always so. There's something a dog gives you that no other human being can give you, not even a child. It's a special love that I think that displays another facet of the infinite love of God. It's not replacement child love; it's dog love. And for what it is, it's perfect. So, yes, you did the right thing with Lucky. But one day, if -you're- lucky, a dog will find you when you're a bit thin on acceptance, perhaps a bit wormy inside from the challenges of being human, running in and out and dodging the traffic hazards of modern life. And -that- dog will adopt you and say to you with its eyes, "Don't worry, Lucky! I'll take care of you!" [Whoa! I've blogged in your comments! :- ) And all before coffee! I must be feeling better! I guess the only thing to do is copy this and post it on my blog, too....] <strong>Just think if you'd had your coffee and a (gasp) pastry already! You'd have taken over!
