This sucks Crying

.

I got laid-off yesterday afternoon, but in spite of that my day was a great one.

Roamer the stray dog, has been coming around every day since last Friday, actually spends the night and leaves in the morning. Up until now, he has let me come close to him for belly rubs, as I was getting out of my car yesterday all depressed, I saw him out of the corner of my eye, running full speed toward me, I smiled, opened my arms wide and he stood up on his back legs and put both of his front legs on my shoulders gave my face a couple of licks, the whole time he was wagging his tail. At that moment, all I could think of was, how great the world was. I have Romeo who is the love of my life and now this dog with whom I also have a very special bond.

Somehow not having a job anymore did not seem so bad, I know I will find another one sooner or later. In the meantime as long as I can provide for both of my loves is what is important to me. [

Olinda,

I am so sorry that you lost your job. I am sure you will find another in good time.

I am tearing up right now about Roamer coming up like that. I have read your threads about getting to know Roamer and him running to you like he couldn't wait to see you, is so heartwarming. It is people like you that animals dream about each day. It is so uplifting that Roamer was able to find you and is now willing to be owned.

That's wonderful! Maybe someday Romeo will accept Roamer as well.

Sometimes the big things seem so insignificant in light of the little things.

Aww, Elizabeth, I'm sorry you lost your job suddenly... but maybe it's setting you up for new things in your life you couldn't imagine yet. Wishing you good luck!

Roamer/Ronin (did you decide on a name?) is such a special piece of your life... that's terrific he expressed such joy to see you! I know that you will be rewarded in your life... anyone who puts out that much love will receive it back! Heck, I think you're terrific and I don't even know you! [

I am sorry you lost your job, as that is very stressful in and of itself.

But, Roamer !!! Woo Hoo !!! Way to go with him starting to trust you in such a big way. I am so happy that the two of you have such a special bond. Maybe, just maybe, Romeo will learn to accept him too.

You are a special person and this just proves it as Roamer can sense it and is showing you love and gratitude in return.

I think it's so great that your Roamer is finally coming around! He can tell what a great person you are and how much you care about him. Isn't it wonderful how animals have the ability to turn your whole day around?

OMG! I'm in tears. Isn't it amazing how animals can turn around a bad day? I agree with mirandobe. A new opportunity is awaiting you. Just keep your eyes & heart open to what the universe has in mind for you.

Olinda,
I am so sorry about your job. But, I am so happy for what you gained. Maybe if Romeo sees how good Roamer is to you, he may eventually come around. Nothing is better, than a lick on the face from a dog! [
