White Paws and Rainbows

Do you believe in signs from heaven?
Mom Linda here today to tell you a story about 

White Paws and Rainbows

 Two weeks ago Stan & I had a discussion 
about the right time to get a new pug baby. 

I felt I was not really ready, 
maybe in the fall would be a better time. 
Stan left to visit with his dad and I went to check my email where I found one from a friend 
telling me about an ad for pug puppies. 
Curious, I had to check it out. 

Then I saw this picture

 My heart skipped a beat! White Paws!  
White paws on a pug are considered a flaw by AKC standards. 
Those of you who have followed us for a long time
 may remember that Greta, 
who we lost tragically at a young age, had two white paws. 
I started to cry, Greta had found me another baby. 

I called Stan, then called the number in the ad.  
It was almost too easy. 
The female with the white paws was the only one left. 
The owner answered all my questions 
and I told him about us and our love for pugs.
 It felt right to both of us. 

Later that evening when Mabel & I headed to class 
there was a full rainbow across the sky. 
I knew it was our Angels smiling their approval

Two days later we went to meet this little doll

and that Sunday 

Hilda joined the PugRanch family

Hilda's gotcha day selfie! 

Mabel watching over her new baby sister

All tuckered out

We could not be more thrilled with how Mabel has welcomed her new little sister. 

We had concerns about jealousy but there has been none,

 Mabel even sharing her space in the middle of the bed!

This first video is them playing on day 2

You can see in the next video that after a few days Hilda has become more confident in their play

Our hearts are full of joy
Welcome Miss Hilda!
