Puppy Size (Nick)

Puppy
Size


This
is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear. You will know
precisely
what this little girl is talking about at the end (you'll
want to share this
one with your loved ones and special friends)!




'Danielle
keeps repeating it over and over again. We've been back to
this animal
shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now since
we started all of
this,' the mother told the volunteer.

'What is it she keeps asking for?'
the volunteer asked.

'Puppy size!' replied the
mother.

'Well,
we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for.'

'I
know...we have seen most of them,' the mom said in frustration...

Just
then Danielle came walking into the office

'Well, did you find one?'
asked her mom. 'No, not this time,'
Danielle said with sadness in her voice.
'Can we come back on the
weekend?'

The
two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.



'You
never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's
always a
supply,' the volunteer said.

Danielle took her mother by the hand and
headed to the door. 'Don't
worry, I'll find one this weekend,' she said.


Over the next few days both mom and dad had long conversations with
her.

They both felt she was being too particular. 'It's this weekend
or
we're not looking anymore,' Dad finally said in frustration.



'We
don't want to hear anything more about puppy size either,' Mom added.


Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on
Saturday
morning. By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for
the
section that housed the smaller dogs.

Tired of the routine, mom
sat in the small waiting room at the end of
the first row of cages. There
was an observation window so you could
see the animals during times when
visitors weren't permitted.

Danielle
walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically to
take a closer look
One by one the dogs were brought out and she held
each one.

One by one
she said, 'Sorry, you're not the one.'

It was the last cage on this last
day in search of the perfect pup.

The volunteer opened the cage door and
the child carefully picked up
the dog and held it closely. This time she took
a little longer.

'Mom, that's it! ?I found the right puppy! He's the one!
I know it!'
she screamed with joy. 'It's the puppy
size!'

'But
it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the
last few
weeks,' Mom said.

'No not size... the sighs. When I held him in my
arms, he sighed,' she
said.



'Don't you remember? ?When I asked you
one day what love is,
you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. ?
The more
you love, the bigger the sigh!'

The two women looked at each
other for a moment. Mom didn't know
whether to laugh or cry. As she stooped
down to hug the child, she did
a little of both.

'Mom, every time you
hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home
from work and hug each other,
you both sigh. I knew I would find the
right puppy if it sighed when I held
it in my arms,' she said.

Then holding the puppy up close to her face she
said, 'Mom, he loves
me. I heard the sighs of his
heart!'


Close
your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes you
sigh. I not
only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in the
caress of a sunset,
the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush of
cool air on a hot
day.



They are the sighs of God. Take the time to stop and listen; you
will
be surprised at what you hear. 'Life is not measured by the breaths we

take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'
