I have heard stories from people I know, some intimately, about how they were pulled toward a certain pet, sometimes even when they were adamant about not having another one until thus and such time; I can now say with experience I understand what that feels like, because I was adamant I would never have a dog.  Ha ha, little did I know the Universe and my family had different plans for me.

My daughter has always had a very commanding energy.  I use the word commanding, because she is not a demanding child who sits on the floor and kicks her feet until she gets her way, but a child who has a presence of energy that can move people without saying a word.  Unless you have experienced it, words cannot describe the feeling or the sparkling nature of her presence.  Like all children, I have certainly noticed her attraction to puppies and every other animal she sees.  We sit on the porch each day and she is aware of the birds, she communicates with our cats, and has a love for nature.  Her nickname at birth was “Tinkerbell” and if you are familiar with fairies or other elemental creatures, they are the “protectors” of nature. Nothing unusual for a child, but my intution spoke to me very strongly and clearly about this need for Kaylee to have a puppy.  It was almost a pull inside of me that would not let up until I acknowledged the message and began my search.

I called my oldest son down one day as I was searching the internet to help me look for this puppy.  I showed him the pictures and about 4 pages into our search he spotted her.  Up to this point, my husband had responded to a few of the ads to get the specifics about their puppies, but once he saw the puppy our son found, he agreed she was the one.  She’s about 12 weeks old and had recently been reduced in price, because her ears turned out.  Her face is about as sweet as they come and my son looked at me and said- “mom, her name is Sparkles.”  I sat there in disbelief.  Not only did we all agree she was the one, but we also felt intuitively this was Kaylee’s puppy and “Sparkles” could not be a more perfect name for the puppy of a girl who has sparkling energy and a nickname of “Tinkerbell.”  My heart was overflowing not only at the beauty unfolding around this puppy, but my son’s intuitive connection to this dog as well.

Later that night, my husband was researching the web about how to raise beagle’s and couldn’t wait to tell me that beagles are considered to be a very “intuitive” dog.  Go figure!  No surprise to learn that not only did a shift occur within the entire matrix of our family, but the animal we are about to bring into our home is considered “intuitive” by nature.  My mother in law asked my husband why we would take on the responsibility of a puppy right as we are about to move and his response was quite profound.  He said- “we have experienced a lot of changes in the past few years and are about to embark on a few more in the very near future.  This puppy will aid the kids with the transition into a new home and welcoming a new baby,” not to mention our son starts middle school in the fall.   I couldn’t have said it better myself!
