My Daisy
I have found joy in the form of a bouncy white fur ball of a friend. She’s deliciously rowdy, mischievous and super naughty. My daughter asked me why I love her so much. I responded simply, “Because she loves me.” She pursues me, literally – underfoot, constantly…watching my every move, howling uncontrollably when I leave and shrieking hysterically when I return. Her name is Daisy and of course, she has a story.
…And her name shall be Dazey and she will be dressed in pink. – Posted on 12/6/11
I’m one of those girls who is simple enough to believe that God cares about every single thing that I care about; that He delights in my joy; desires to bless me and because I’m simple enough to believe that I am His favorite, 🙂 He hears me when I cry, when I call He answers and when I ask, He responds. And so it was last December, 2011 when I began talks with my husband about my desire to add to our family a “Daisy.” He scoffed and
reminded me how busy we were; how big a responsibility a dog would be; how he would definitely be unavailable to dog sit, dog walk, dog feed…you get the picture! He was not into it at all. Days later, he ran into someone whose grandmother raised ’em and I knew my honey was on the ropes when he handed me grandma’s name on a piece of paper. I was gonna win this heavyweight fight…I knew it, I just knew it! While he shook his head, later that day, I downloaded the above picture of my dog-to-be and plastered it everywhere…on every screen…mobile, computer, i-everything that I owned. I posted her picture on Facebook with a proclamation on that day in December…”And her name shall be Dazey and she will be dressed in pink.” Each time I logged on to anything, this picture would pop up causing me to want her more; to solidify my decision. I contacted the breeder to test the waters and she informed me that she didn’t have any pups available, but would contact me as soon as she did.
Now, I know God probably has much better things to do than to hear my continual plea for a puppy, but as I said, I am His favorite and so I know it…I just know it…He heard my plea, heard my daughter and I come into agreement that should it be His will, He would bring us the perfect puppy and my honey’s heart would soften to 
the idea. So it happened, on February 11, that long awaited text with a picture attached was received. I opened it and she had me at the “ding ding” of the text. I told Vali that I needed to seal the deal with my husband, but I wanted her. I had already named her Dazey (I had to change the spelling when Vali dropped this next bit o’ info on me). She was amazed at my choice of names and explained that my Daisy would be a third generation Daisy, since both Daisy’s mother and grandmother shared that name. What???? She’s gotta be mine, I know it…I just know it! Would my husband dare go against God’s will? Nah:) 🙂 🙂
On February 26, 2012 Daisy joined our family and as she settled in, I thanked the Lord for my little blessing. I noticed her birthdate and was once again reminded how much He loves me…How much He is in the details…How He really cares about my joy. You see, Daisy was born one day after I made viral my desire in early December (see picture above). Her birthday is December 7, 2011. He is never late…always on time…His time!
I love my Daisy and she loves me…I know it, I just know it!! ❤

only to witness Mocha, my 50 pound Lab being cornered and bullied by Daisy, my Maltese. I stood for several minutes watching as Mocha ran away, hid and cowered behind trees, taking a few tentative steps, only to be pushed back as Daisy, all six pounds of her, charged towards her target.
