Don't ever say things don't happen for a reason. Life has been good to me, I had a proper upbringing by a fabulous dog mom who not only raised me but 12 siblings AND an orphan. I got a great home when I was a little girl, but my daddy was in the Army. It became necessary for him to go away to defend our country. I got another fabulous home that loved me more than I can measure. Unfortunately, the other dog & I didn't always get along very well. We tried to like each other, but we just didn't, my family cried over what might happen.
But then...........a miracle happened. My first daddy came home safely. 
The rest, as they say, is history.
