Me, Iva and the Cosmos

Weekends have been busy for us. A latest Saturday was spent taking Iva to fulfill a perspective household that had utilized particularly to undertake her. The rescue that I foster for requires dwelling visits, and their dwelling go to did not precisely paint a glowing image of them for a number of causes. With that, and their dwelling greater than a 2 hours drive from us, it left me reluctant to even take into account them. However I made a decision to present them an opportunity. 

With my brother in tow, we met midway within the city of Culpeper Virginia. 

Household of 4, was a retired Dad who’s dwelling more often than not, Mother was nonetheless working, they usually have a ten 12 months previous and faculty age daughters – And a Golden Retriever named Pockets that like Iva, was about 8 years previous. We had a number of issues in frequent and being a giant believer in cosmic forces, I assumed possibly the cosmos was bringing us collectively. I discovered myself liking them for these causes and as we chatted, in my thoughts I used to be placing collectively simply how this might possibly work. 

The go to wasn’t precisely excellent. Working Mother was a bit of vital of some issues about Iva – which made me a bit of vital of them – And when Working Mother saved inspecting Iva’s coat, particularly round her tail and neck – I knew what she was on the lookout for, and I blurted out that “Iva does not have fleas.” Working Mother appeared a bit embarrassed, and stopped what she was doing.

Regardless of that and some different issues, as you’ll be able to most likely inform, I wasn’t positive about them. However I used to be actually making an attempt to hold onto what the cosmos will need to have been making an attempt to inform me; that they have been the household for Iva — It helped that Iva appeared to love College Age Woman, and I assumed that she appeared okay with Retired Dad and their canine Pockets. Household of 4 pushed me on making my resolution proper then, however I promised them I might get again to them in just a few days – College Age Woman instructed me that after our go to they have been going to go purchase toys for Iva.

On our means dwelling, I tormented my brother with all my ideas and I simply hoped that I might have some readability on the entire thing. And positive sufficient, it got here from Retired Dad in a textual content message BEFORE we even bought dwelling. It stated:

Whats up Kim,  Iva is an actual sweetheart.  We loved assembly her.

However we predict she could not match into our household.  We’re involved about her age and longevity.  We could not deal with dropping a member of the family like her for a very long time. 

Thanks for introducing her to us, I am sorry it did not work out.

What??!! Nicely, okay, no matter, and thank-you cosmos for giving me the reply I wanted. However can I add what a ridiculous motive this was? Solely as a result of Iva’s age is in fact talked about in her write up, so it was and isn’t any secret that she’s 8 years previous. And anybody who makes a difficulty about not desirous to undertake a canine due to their age, by no means scores any ‘factors’ with me. 

But it surely does not finish there. I missed a name from Working Mother whose voicemail stated that they’d modified their minds, and have been once more interested by adopting Iva. If age was a difficulty, Iva was then 3 days older, so what modified? I will by no means know, as a result of I did not name them again. And I am not going to. A pal stated that issues within the cosmos can typically backfire. I feel that is what it did this time. However I am nonetheless a believer in these cosmic forces. And what may very well be a greater reminder of that than this weeks final tremendous blue moon till 2037.
