Little Hope has an incredible influence on many lives but most of all Tripper and mine.. when I inquired about her all I wanted was a companion for Tripper. The journey that the three of us have been on since Trippers fateful day, is not a matter of happenstance. In the last eight months I have learned more about life than I have in my entire 54 years.. Ive learned how rewarding selflessness can be, to put another creatures needs before even your basic needs. To, without hesitation, take leaps of faith because I listened to my own judgment and intuition, learned from my mistakes and never gave up.. As to Trippers recovery, I give all of the credit to Hope. She not only changed me but their friendship made him an entirely different animal. I have always just been the facilitator. Ive met some people in the last few months that I classified angels only to be told, No Im not, Im just a nice person. Ive hugged and shook the hands of people and afterwards, knew exactly the kind of people I was dealing with. Weve went places only to hear, OMG theres Hope! We have had total strangers travel many miles just to meet Hope and Tripper. Ive been approached by total strangers in public asking me if I was Hopes Daddy. In the last few months I have lost my job of 27 years, watched as Tripper was crushed under a car and hours later receive a phone call asking me if I would like Little Hope.. Sent an email out and got a response five minutes later telling me to expect a call from the owner and after a 15 minute discussion get offered a job that is so rewarding that I GET to go to work every day. And to culminate it all I get a message like this early last month: Marty - you dont know me and I you but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and Hope and Tripper too. If I can be of any help to you let me know. If you need someone to watch tripper for you or anything let me know I will hop a jet plane and get there to ease the load. I know what it is like when your baby is hurting or something is wrong and I know you do too. Sending love to you and the pups from Colorado but also from the beaches or north eastern Florida while on vacation. Like I said, these happenings are not the result of happenstance, they are part of a plan of which we have no control.. the next step is not a leap of faith, but rather a step in the undeniable proper direction. I told her she stitched me together when I didnt think I needed stitching. She is the final piece of my puzzle and now its time to step back and enjoy what has been put together for us. One day I might even tell you who she is... ;)
