This Sunday Spotlight comes to us from the H2M2 Oklahoma and I have been fortunate to actually have met Misty in person at the 2 Year Anniversary event last year. This is a story of hope and dreams fulfilled and once again our Northern breeds play an important role. Thank you so much Misty for sharing this with us! We are so happy for you and your family – both two and four legged! < “In June of 2010, David and I got married. A few months later we decided to start trying for a child. I started the journey with hope of it happening quick but not too quick. Months went by and soon a year went by. I began to feel a void in my heart. We were filling this void with furkids. I surprised David with Jakoda one day. He fell in love instantly. He was a cute little 8 week old fur ball. Jakoda was bonding to David quickly. then i said ok, I want a dog that is MINE and bonds to me. After taking my time looking around i found my girl. She was on craigslist and was super skinny and was one year old. I went and picked her up a couple days later. Day one she was stuck to my side. She had picked me, and only me, to be hers and i couldnt be happier. The void in my heart was filled. Soon though, that empty feeling came back. Six months later came Ludo. He was such a good puppy. He was so laid back and funny, always making us laugh. He belonged to both David and i. Once again the void in my heart was filled temporarily, but still no baby of my own. Three years total had gone by now since our wedding. I kept seeing people all around me announcing they were pregnant. On the outside i was happy for them, while on the inside i loathed them. I know that sounds bad but its the truth. I became severely depressed. I started to think i was a waste of space and that my body was worthless. Suicide crossed my mind more than one time. My dark secrets from my childhood were creeping up on me making things ten times worse. One day, i was home by myself and having horrible thoughts. I couldnt be in my house alone any longer, so i grabbed Ludo and walked to the park. Ludo was around 6 or 7 months old now. I sat on some big park toy with Ludo by my side. It was rainy and cold out. I sat there in tears. He looked up at me whined, stood up, and slid down the slide. I laughed so hard. Then he tried to climb back up the slide and couldnt because it was wet. My stomach was hurting from laughing so much. Leave it to him to make me laugh. I decided i needed to get help. I was scared but i did it. It did amazing things for me. I started taking anti depressants and became happy again and fun to be around. Then on February 28th, 2013 i took my millionth pregnancy test and it was positive! I couldnt be more happy! In my eyes, i won the lottery! I took like 10 more because i just couldnt believe it lol. In November, my little Austin was born. Once we were home we introduced each dog to him. They all sniffed and licked his little head. They accepted him. It was like they knew all along that he was coming. Today, Austin is 9 months old and is the absolute joy of my life. All the dogs have their own opinion about him. Jakoda accepts him but keeps his distance, Zola knows he is my puppy and has shown that she is protective over him, Ludo has claimed him as his human. He loves Austin and Austin loves him. They lay in the floor together and Ludo tends to copy what Austin does. If Austin rolls over so will Ludo. Austin crawls on Ludo and he seems to enjoy it. Now i can say I am truly happy. That void in my heart is now fully complete. I have my wonderful husband David, beautiful son Austin, and our amazing furkids Jakoda, Zola, and Ludo. My world is now complete.”
