In the blink of an eye, a look of love and gratitude

Published 10:43am Friday, April 27, 2012

From the moment I received the first phone call until Yukon went home, everything fell into place like clockwork, it seemed as if the hand of God was guiding Yukon’s fate.
Yukon got a clean bill of health except for some hookworms that were treated and a few ticks which Lani and Linda’s daughter removed.  By noon Thursday he was adopted, micro chipped and going home with a new and loving family.  As we brought him out to the car I got down on one knee and kissed him goodbye.
“It was an honor knowing you my friend.”
Yukon had a look of love and gratitude in his eyes that brought me to tears.  I thought of a line from an old Paul Newman movie as I hugged him and whispered in his ear, “don’t worry Yukon, I have a feeling that somebody up there likes you.”
Thanks for listening.
