The Biz

For those of you who don't know, I happen to own the best, cutest dog in the whole world. It's true. Some of you may have THOUGHT that you had a cute dog... I'm sorry to inform you that I, in fact, DO have the cutest and sweetest dog... in the world. Izzie is a 6-year-old black cocker spaniel. She is originally from the streets of Lubbock, TX (it's a rough story). She was found by my brother's girlfriend, at the time, wandering the cold and lonely streets of L-town. Izzie spent the next few weeks hanging out with this girl and her roommates. They soon decided that they didn't want to be pestered by a sweet and precious animal. She was handed over to my brother, Matthew. Matt took the pup in, giving her the name Isabella which was soon shortened to Izzie.



Izzie and I instantly fell in love.



That Christmas I recieved many gifts... none that I can remember. But the last gift was a small oddly shaped one with my name on it. I unrolled the paper to find a beautiful purple collar speckled with rhinestones. The heart shaped tag hagging from the collar read, "Izzie."



My heart lept as I realized what was happening. Matt was giving her to me. It was the best present I've ever received. We've been together ever since. I always remember so many blessings this time of year, but I especially remember Izzie and how blessed I am to have her. Thank you God for puppies that fill our lives with joy, laughter, and sometimes sadness.

Thank you God for Izzie.
