KITTY, KITTY, KITTY

 She reminded me so much of her Grand-Dam, Ella. Calm and insightful. I thought of her as having a touch of magic.

This proved to be true when her prospective owners called me to inquire asking who I might have available in a black female puppy. A family of four with two children in an age bracket I felt mature enough to be kind and gentle to my one special girl available. 

The man explained to me that the family was excited about adding a new family member. He said they had been playing a "naming game" and that possible names had been posted on their refrigerator. The kids had put typical silly kid names up for the pup so they were still considering name suggestions. When I told him I had been calling her "Kitty", the line went quiet. After a few moments he said, "You're kidding right?" I explained I thought the name fit her and that I had been having fun saying KITTY, KITTY, KITTY when playing with her.

He replied, "That's very strange because the only name my wife, who was the least excited about a new puppy, had reluctantly submitted a name choice because she wasn't happy with the other names that had been picked. He said it was in BIG RED letters on the refrigerator as to block out all the undesirable choices. It was "KITTY"! We both got cold chills.

Well needless to say Kitty became a part of the family as is living happily ever after with her loving family.
