Since I was a little girl, I always wanted an English Bulldog. They were so cute and fun. They would also make me cry. Something about them made me so happy Is hold cry. I know this sounds dumb, but it’s true.
So over the years I have searched for some, in hopes of finding my own. I knew they were expensive and as I got older I knew they would require a lot of work. I talked about getting one with the boy I wanted to marry at 21. Then at 22 with the boy I almost married. And since then I needed to focus on me, what I needed, and how to better myself. Being in school, working full time, and hardly having a social life, I’ve started to become sad. Sad over just the lack of excitement in my life and feeling stuck. Yet, instead of running to Europe (or mainly anywhere outside of California) I needed to finish summer school. I needed to maintain a my work schedule. I also needed to get into the habit of paying debt down. (So the next thing I’m going to say contributes to all except being smart with finances). I was browsing around for puppies, just to see what was out there. I found this person who posted a cute English Bulldog for $1,8000. I don’t have that money but contacted the person and asked about it. It was a fun thought and though it was cute, I couldn’t do it. About a week later I get a text from the person saying they’ll give me the dog for $1,500. English bulldogs go easily for $2,000-$3,500 so this is a steal. I still couldn’t do it. By maxing out my credit card (don’t try this at home) and with the amount from my upcoming check, I was able to come up with $1,000. Not expecting this, I told the person the amount I had and they said they would sell the puppy to me for that price. I freaked out and drove up that night to pick her up. After sending a $100 deposit for the dog through Venmo, I figured out that the lady was a dog breeder, so it wasn’t a scam. When I picked up the dog, I near cried. This puppy was mine. The lady told me there was someone else who wanted the dog too and was willing to pay the $1,700, but something told her to sell it to me. I had prayed for the dog and knew there was something else she didn’t see. God saved this dog for me. I told her she made a little girl’s dream come true. The puppy is healthy, happy, and I’m still in shock when I look at her. It’s been almost a week and feels like she’s been here for years. I’m happier than ever. It was like God knew just what I needed, and when I needed it. Say hello to Nori Lennon. (Yes, Nori like seaweed).
