Christmas 2009 in Oklahoma City was a mess. Ice storms, snow storms, it was crazy. We had planned to host all of our out-of-town and in-town family for Christmas dinner and gift exchange, but it was just too dangerous to drive, so we rescheduled for the next day. As we were trying to get our 4 daughters to accept this big change in plans (all were under the age of 10 years old), there was a knock on the door. A neighbor from down the street stood there with a small pup - an Australian Shepherd we later found out. She had been sitting on his mother's front porch all morning and he just knew she was a gift for someone. I told him she wasn't ours. The girls were going crazy wanting her so I told him if he didn't find her home, to bring her back to us.
This was the best dog we have ever owned. She was already potty trained, was super well behaved, and protected my girls like no other. She would wait until we all went to bed at night, go to the living room, and sleep in a position to watch the front door. We lost her 2 years ago. She crossed the rainbow bridge. We wept and still miss her every single day. She was our Christmas Miracle and truly saved not only that day, but many days to come.
