Yesterday, I told how my day stated off with a bang—Sadie, my female dog, in need of seeing a vet—me not aware of any in my new neck of the woods.  Then, as luck smiled on me, I was made aware of a qualified vet while talking to another woman I was interviewing about a Pilates studio….

When I pulled up to the pet hospital, I was instantly fond of the place—a recreation of the pet hospital I’d worked a lifetime ago.  Their staff proved to be super nice.  While there, I met another customer who overheard me telling the staff member that I’d been recommended by a Pilates studio office manager.  The other customer introduced herself and asked if perhaps the person who had recommended me was from thus-and-such Pilates studio.  I told her she was.  The other customer smiled and told me how she frequented that studio and loved all they had to offer. 

While I waited to have Sadie seen by the vet, the other customer and I got to know one another and talked pilates, me especially grateful that I’d met this woman who gave such a shining review of the Pilates studio I hoped I’d soon be frequenting.

Today began with my being concerned about Sadie and whether I’d find a qualified vet to treat her.  I didn’t have much time to worry over it, however, thanks to one of the biggest reasons I decided to call where I now live home—how open, helpful, accepting and friendly everyone here is.  It’s like taking a step back in time.  To a simpler more trusting time where people take the time to get to know their neighbors and welcome those who want to move to their town with open arms.

My vet visit went smooth as could be.  The vet fell in love with Sadie.  Most people who meet her do….  And he made me promise that if I ever tire of Sadie that I’d let him know, cause he and his wife would take her in a heartbeat. 

Wow, how nice!

Sadie’s now on mediation for her problem and responding to it well, feeling much better than she had been. 

Yay!  Nice to have my baby feeling better.

She should be back to normal soon.  In the meantime, I keep smiling over how fortunate I am to have experienced the stream of luck that befell me today….
