In the early evening, Jacque went out to who knows where. About an hour after leaving, she was back home again, but she was not alone.
With her was a puppy (7 weeks old): a female Rottweiler.
I was sitting in the living room reading at the time. When I saw the tiny dog, to say that I was unhappy was understating how I felt.
Jacque said nothing, probably in anticipation of words of displeasure or rebuke or something from me.
But, just like her, I said nothing, even when Jacque laid the puppy on the living room floor in front of me and it came squirming and stumbling to my feet, with those classic, helpless, hopeful puppy dog eyes.
Jacque later told me that God told her that this dog was destined to be part of our family. Well, I had other thoughts about that on this night, but what I have come to know is that what she said is true.
She was destined to be part of our family. We named her Roxy Sasha Turner.
