My friends who keep up with me know that in January I experienced the tragic and heartbreaking loss of my awesome dog "Teo." She had bone cancer and many of you helped me get through this horrible experience. It hasn't been an easy time since then and the 90 pound hole in my heart is still there. I nearly swoon when I see a German Shepherd dog because I know how awesome they are. I want one, again.
I read the following poem on a friends FB page and it was as if God and Teo were both talking directly to me. It is this...
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.
All things break. And all things can be mended.
Not with time, as they say, but with intention.
So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.

I have been pouring over the internet in search of what could be the next best dog for us. I am always drawn back to the German Shepherd dogs. However, I looked at a lot of websites about different dogs. Rescue dogs and breeders. Pages and pages. I communicated with a couple of very special veterinarian friends of mine and followed advice given to me by people I respect. I also prayed to be specifically lead to the right dog for me, now. I wanted to make sure to keep my eyes and heart open to find the dog God wanted me to have and when. I set up folders of information on breeders, questions to ask them in the interviews and possible health issues of each breed I was researching. I learned more than I thought I ever would about a couple of different breeds and breeders. The color and gender of German Shepherd dog I want aren't available within a 500 mile drive right now. I can wait for the German Shepherd I want.
The story of this white puppy is that I was looking at a pup from a breeder of Creamy Golden Retrievers in Montana and they didn't have a female. I was told about this breeder in OKC. Ninety miles from home! When I looked at her website there was a photo of a puppy sitting next to Mickey Mouse! They had also used Disney character names for some of their puppies. Names from movies like Frozen! Truly I tell you it was a direction from God. There were other direct answers but that is a whole other story.
My dog's names is Boo. Her daddy's name is Int CH Merlins Mysterious Destiny CGC. Merlin is also a Disney character from Sword in the Stone movie. So we named her Merlin's Mysterious Boo. We like Boo from Monsters, Inc. and she is as white as a ghost so there you have it. Little Boo.
Today I took Boo to my vet along with a booklet of health and ancestry documents provided by the breeder. My vet was impressed! Both with the quality of the documentation and the puppy. She was happy to see us with a puppy. She was with us when Teo died. 
😪 She knows my heartbreak. She totally understands. I love her. Dr Micah Smith Hartwig

That is it for now on the story of the search for Boo.

Our dog Meeko is learning to like her. This puppy is as much for her as it is for me and Gary. Meeko needs a companion. Last night when Boo "cried" at the thought of going to bed in her kennel in the bedroom Meeko fled to the living room for quiet. LOL
😴 It will get better.
