It was a sad day for me, one that I dreaded. My sweet 13 year old chihuahua Bella was suffering from heart failure and couldn't breathe. I humanely had her put down and went home that night alone. My heart was broken and I cried for days.
One day, while thumbing through Facebook, I saw that a Shih tzu was being rehomed because she was aggressive with the couple's grandchild. Since it had only been a few days, I was hesitant to petition for the dog but I felt a pulling to do so.
As it turned out, Matilda had lost her original owner due to death and her second owner only had her two weeks. She was lost like I was and we needed each other.
I adopted her 1 week after my Bella passed away and we are best buds. She needed an older mommy who had the patience and love to give her. I believe Bella sent Matilda to me, to heal my loss until we can meet again.
