Many parents make an effort to pick a wife or a husband for their child. Believe it or not dog owners do the same. For many years we were looking for a domestic partner or wife for our male dog Copernicus. We decided that only a beautiful German Shepherd female would do. For years Copernicus was promised this partner in life. For one reason or another we never went out and got such a dog for the household. Now Copernicus has a wife who he honestly met without our intervention. Her name is Alice and she weighs only 17.1 lbs vs the 60 lbs or so that Copernicus weighs. Yesterday we were walking on the beach. I saw a beautiful German shepherd female. I thought about what might have been. Copernicus seemed to hardly notice the beautiful lady.
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
