The Wizard Of Paws ( Wiz )

This is Wiz . This is what I did . I did not do it for myself . I bought him for my best friend , the red head with the milestone birthday a few posts below . We had talked about her getting a companion dog several times . That morning when I made the quick decision to buy him for her , my heart was in the right place but my head was not thinking . I blame it on my concussion in April. Of course , I knew it was bad judgement on my part to do something like this , but I was so sure that this little guy was just what she needed to bring a little joy and light into her life . He did for a brief , sweet time . The Saturday night he came into our lives , my friend emailed me to say she was leaving town for one week . During her absence , I taught lil Wiz a few basics like come , sit , and down . I was amazed at how quickly he learned despite his diminutive size . He became a wiz @ wizzing on his pee pad and outside . I knew she would love him . Who wouldn't. Unfortunately , due to several circumstances she regretfully returned the little guy last Monday .
I learned a lesson through Wiz . ... a lesson I thought I had already known . Never give a pet as a surprise gift to anyone no matter how sure you think you are on this one . Chances are you could be wrong like I was .
Wiz and I are taking his being here day by day . If I find the right home and owner ( like N@) who knows a lot about teeny dogs and their care and special needs , I would let him live happily ever after . Until then , Wiz is my responsibility and I accept that , the way he accepts me ... unconditionally .
I refuse to call him a mistake . Like all things in life he was sent to teach me a lesson . He is here for a reason . He is here to love someone and to be loved back .
