I guess it's time to share the story of how Meeka came to join our family and farm last week.
We no doubt had some tough loses lately... Matti had to be spayed after two years of trying to breed her. Then we lost Starla and her second baby during delivery. I posted about the joy we find in this life we chose and how we feel close to God as we learn. Especially as we help raise little Ignacio (the orphan goat).
About a week after Starla died and two weeks after Matti was spayed. I received a text from the owner of Rooster 🐓 (the stud we bred Matti to). She said she had a female dog, who was a daughter of Rooster and her Mom is a red-tri like Matti. She had planned to breed her eventually but decided it would be too much to take on right now. She knew our situation with Matti, knew Matti's temperament, and felt an impression to give us this sweet girl if we wanted her.
Well, I didn't know what to say... it was either crazy 🤪 to think we could handle another dog, or maybe a blessing...🥰
We prayed for a week about it. We talked as a family and recognized that regardless of what we decided, this was definitely the Lord showing us His hand in our lives. Showing us that if we still wanted this experience, we could have it.
We decided to at least go and meet her. We figured we needed more time to figure some things out before bringing her home and didn't want to rush the decision.
We went up in Monday and fell in love with her. We tried to leave and go home, but quickly went back and got our Meeka girl.
We picked the name Meeka because Matti is named after Pocahontas real name Matoaka, Matti for short. Meeko is the name of her racoon friend in the movie... but we changed it to the feminine.
She just fits right in with all our animals here. She is sweet and a little shy 💕 We love seeing Matti and Meeka play together ❤️
We hope to breed Meeka next summer ☀️ 🐶 🐕 Very Cool genetics with blue and red Merle, red tri, black tri 😍🤩
