A New Home and a New Life For One Lucky Dog

May your New Year be filled with Love, Laughter and Delight

With the arrival of the New Year, I find myself reflecting on animals that have inspired me and warmed my heart throughout the year. Penny is one of those animals. Her amazing story is about forgiveness, hope, new beginnings and resolution.

I met Penny on a warm summer day in July. She had been with her new family for just one week, and she was not acclimating well. The only thing we knew about her, was that she was a stray, she was found in a parking lot in Kentucky, and she recently had puppies. Colleen called me because she was worried and did not know how to reach Penny. She was barely eating, did not want to move off the sofa, slept most of the time, and was not interested in Colleen, her family, or her other two dogs.

When I arrived, I sat next to Penny. She barely moved and she looked up at me with big, round, sad eyes. I sat with her for a moment before we began our conversation. She allowed me to put my hand on her shoulder and I could feel her sadness.

Penny disclosed that she was “waiting for the next ride.” She had traveled a long way and with several different people. They were all very nice, but it was obvious that they had a job to do and that was to deliver her to her next destination. Penny was sure that someone else would be coming for her and that she would be leaving this nice house very soon.

I asked her how many rides she had been on since she left the parking lot in Kentucky. She told me she had been on three long rides, and each time they would let her stay for little while but then a new person would show up, put her in their car and off they’d go again. No wonder she was uninterested in getting to know anyone, she didn’t think she would be staying with Colleen and her family, but most of all she felt that she had done something wrong “because so many people didn’t want her.”

The first thing I wished to convey to Penny was that she was safe here, she would be loved and her travels were over. She had arrived at her new forever home. I wanted her to know, without a doubt, that it was ok for her to settle in and get to know her new people and the two dogs that would become her pack. I could feel Penny beginning to trust Colleen and I and her heart opened a little bit.

With a worried look, Colleen wondered if her previous family was looking for her. Colleen imagined that they would be really worried about her. Penny was sure that they were not looking for her because they were the ones that dropped her and her puppies off in the parking lot.

Penny told me she was very worried about her puppies and she wondered where they were. I assured her that I would support her in looking for them. Through a telepathic connection, she found each one of them and although they were not together, each one had a new home. I could feel her heart opening even more as she poured love out to her pups.

Physically, Penny took a deep breath, and let out a tremendous sigh of relief and her eyes softened. Emotionally, she was beginning to relax and she let go of some of the fear and doubt that had been weighing her down. I stayed for a while longer making sure that both Penny and Colleen felt secure about our conversation.

The next day, Colleen called me and exclaimed, “I have a new dog! She is off the sofa, wagging her tail, asking for food and interacting with our other dogs! She even wants to go outside to play!”
