Misadvertising


What a day or night I should say we had yesterday. Zoe is in her 3rd heat. I had been looking for a stud for months and finally found someone over in Detroit. The whole thing was planned out and we were taking her over there and dropping her off for the week. Bob thought it was funny that we were taking her there on Mother's Day to become a mother. So we headed out at 3:00pm with Kim driving since she needs the hours to get her license. To make a long story short....the lady wasn't honest and told me that her male was UKC registered when in fact he was not. So she tried convincing me it still just fine. We left her there and got about 1/2 hour away when I found out that no the pups could not be registered. So we turned back around and went and picked her back up. Kim earned a whopping 7 hours of driving time and I lost a full tank of gas which is costing those of us in Michigan 4.14 a gallon. I am back to square one with no options of breeding.

In times like this I have to sit back and ponder if God is trying to send me a message. I try so hard for something to work out and it just seems like there are so many road blocks. Do I give up or do I keep trying? There are many reasons why having pups right now would be a good thing and then there are those reasons where it might not be the best timing.

At church we are in the middle of a series called "The Epic Battle" and today's sermon was about Anger. On the way home I started to feel alittle angry due to the situation and from being tired of riding in the car for so long and I went back to the sermon notes and decided to just change my attitude about the situation. God can give me peace in any situation. I don't want to let bitterness destroy me. God has a plan and I am waiting on Him.

It is another beautiful day here in Michigan. The sun is shining and I have the windows open at 9:00am in the morning. I will take it! I am working today and plan on going outside to play with the kids. No more 4 walls!
