What's in a Name?

It had been nearly one year since my dog, C.J., had passed away from cancer, and I was finally ready to look for a new furbaby. In an email from the Asheville Humane Society, I was scrolling through the headshots of dogs when one caught my eye. She was a black lab mix (which my last 3 dogs all were) AND they'd named her Ladybug, which was the same name as one of my previous furbabies! I felt like this was a "sign" that she was meant to be ours. We went to visit her the next day and found out she was very timid around men, as she must have been abused in the past. We adopted her and once we got her home, she warmed right up to my husband. She's been with us almost 2 years now and she's such a loving dog; we love her so much! She's still pretty timid around male strangers, but she knows who she can trust!
