Lola Chose Me

I went to my local animal shelter to adopt a new puppy. The kennel was full of bouncy energetic puppies. There was 1 that came over and sat down next to my feet and stared up at me while I watched the others play. She tapped be on the foot with her paw and I looked down to see this calm puppy sitting there looking up at me. I told the lady I'll take this one. I took her home and played with her all that night. The next morning I woke up and found her lifeless on the front porch. I picked her up and rushed her to the vet.They took her to the back and returned to tell me she had parvo and they needed to put her down. I asked if there is anything I could do and they said they could do everything they knew how and that it would be in god's hands after that. I said then let's do it. She chose me and I will do everything I can do to save her. After shots,IV's they sent us home. I fed her oatmeal,yogurt and sat by her side through the night to be awakened by a bouncy happy puppy. I called the shelter to find out that they put 10 puppies down that day because of parvo.
Lola is now 7 years old. Our Best friend!!
