How do you know you're doing the right thing...

Well in this case we truly believe God has opened the doors for us as all the many pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place so perfectly. One of those pieces being finding a new home for our 11 year old yellow Labrador retriever who has been such a big part of our family. Not only did God provide our beloved "Joey" a new home and family...but a perfect home and family. He is now the resident house dog of a local assisted living facility. Never again will Joey be left behind, lonely, and wondering if anyone loves him. He now has 70 senior friends who adore him and who he responds in kind. After only a few weeks in his new home he was able to sense that one of the residents needed some extra attention and insisted on being by her side for two days. While Joey was with her during that time, she unexpectedly died during the night. Did he actually know something was wrong with her...well that may be up for debate. We do know, however, that he was able to provide great comfort to this woman's daughter in her early hours of grieving.
