The weirdness of the first non-coincidence can only be realized if I first confess a weird nightly ritual I have had since the beginning of this year. Anyone who knows me knows I am in love with my dear Bridget who is a King Charles Cavalier. But not everyone knows of my addiction to puppyfind.com. Here it is. I must not be ashamed. I nightly rank my favorite dogs. I rank them by their colors, breeders, registration, location and price. I have it down to an art really. I can pick the dog that will be bought within a day because it is the perfect one for breeding or showing. I know most all the local breeders and the national ones too. I have been debating since Bridget came into my life if I should breed her so I read a lot about the breed. I have an abundance of Bridget puppy-wanters already and I did find her the perfect one night stand/companion but she is not registered so I don't feel completely confident about bringing little ones into the world. So, I daydream about my perfect girl who could grow old with Bridget and make legitimate glorious pups. Many Cavalier owners who become smitten by their dog end up with one in every color. There are 4 kinds of Cavaliers. Bridget is a Ruby. So anyway I play a little game before bed and eliminate all the dogs down to one. It's challenging (one out of around 600), unwinding (because it has nothing at all to do with my infant or my career) and makes me very happy. "If I had to pick one dog which one would it be?” The chosen dream dog almost always gets purchased by someone immediately and I grieve that I can’t visit the picture anymore and have to find a new favorite. This leads me to my first bizarre coincidence. The other day I ended up through a weird series of events at my in-laws house. The weird series began with our dog running away, highway fence jumping, a case of aggressive poison ivy, steroids, and finally urgent care. So an Aunt who I have only spoken to about twice since I’ve been married so happened to be at my ma/pa inlaw’s house and we started talking about our favorite names for kids. I said I love the name Violet because it’s another adjective , there’s a ‘v’ in it, the nickname ‘Vi’ is lovely and I love the color too. Her response was how she always wanted triplets and would name them, Rose, Violet and Lily. She kept going about how she liked those 3 names together. I thought she is as quirky as me which is refreshing, but I didn’t know what to respond, so her comment was the conversation capstone. I came home and before bed did my little puppy find imaginary hunt. Three new dogs posted that same day. Three little girl pups named Rose, Violet and Lily. They were from Ohio too. And Violet was my perfect pick out of all 600+ dogs. She is the color, registration, facial structure, location and breeding that I look for in my little game. What are the chances of that??? Not that this means I will magically get this pup (I wouldn't mind that). But it just made me think God is aware of my little thoughts and what makes me happy. As I am made so happy from my Cavalier dreaming, God is delighting in me and made happy from me. I really don’t know what that super weird coincidence means... but it smells like something of God to me. http://www.puppyfind.com/view_listing/?sid=920b75ff62cc4253bb8b3c2740b49ed9
