A Fate Encounter

Last night was the last puppy training class. We have been going to Michael Burkey's classes in Westland, as he was voted highly by click on detroit channel 4 viewers and I read tons of great reviews.

Anyways, Rick walked out of class before me to run across the parking lot to Pizza Hut to pick up our tasty dinner. As I was walking out of the vet office where the classes are held, this woman rolls down her window and says "Do you mind if I ask how old your shepherd is?". Of course, being as obsessed as I am with all my pets, I will gladly talk my head off. I tell her that Jaxson is basically 5 months old, and she says "So is she" and points to the passenger seat of her vehicle. Then we get into how much the both weigh, and it is in the same ballpark. I asked if I could see her shepherd, so she gets out and the two dogs go right for each other to play.

Her dog is gorgeous, just gorgeous! and our dogs are loving each other instantly. All the other dogs in class Jaxson has just really sniffed and not even attempted to play with. I mentioned how our dogs could be twins, and then think to ask when her dogs birthday is.

She says - September 20th.
I say....Wow, so is Jaxson. Where did you get her?
She says, Port Huron.
I say...Wow so did we.
My brain was working so hard I couldnt even think of the name, and I think I just started stuttering, so thankfully she eventually said "Weber Shepherds" and I said YES!

Jaxson met his sister Bailey last night! The one and only female from the litter.

Port Huron is NOT in our backyard either! It is about an hour and half drive each way. Then of all the dog classes to take, we just both happen to be at the same one. How amazing!

Anyways, her class was after ours, so I gave her our contact info and hopefully we will hear from Mary & Bailey. I think it would be amazing to have a doggy play date with the two of them, and get to talk with Mary & her husband and compare notes on how the two of them are doing.
