I Attracted The Perfect Puppy!!

Minneapolis, MNDreams coming true left and right!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rhonda, her daughter and The Secret team!! I first watched The Secret in 2012. Since then I have watched it numberless times and read the book and completed The Magic. I have manifested almost everything into my life that I have wanted: I am talking about big, beautiful and ambitious things. People think I’m crazy but I’ve done it. Make your list, put everything you want on it and as long as you imagine it with joy, it is already yours.
This is my first story I am sharing and I plan to share many more.
I was blessed to live with my best friend and her French bulldog, Diego, for over a year. When they moved to New York I missed them so much and started wishing I had a doggie of my own. My boyfriend at the time loved dogs too, so together we created an imaginary dog name Zeus. Zeus was a golden retriever show dog who could bench press more than any human at the gym and had 2 degrees from Harvard. We’d work our mythical dog into daily conversations sharing with each other what he did that day. A golden retriever would be hard to have right now because I live downtown and I am busy, so last June I set my sights on the French bulldog. I found a photo of the perfect “Frenchie” and sent it to friends and family and made it the screen saver on all the computers at my work.
No one supported me getting a Frenchie, my boyfriend didn’t want me to have the same dog as my friend and everyone else told me, “It’s not a good time for you, don’t do that.” I started to learn more about them and liked the Frenchie Facebook pages. I learned that they are very hard to come by, that I would have to be added to a wait list and I could kiss my blonde color and boy gender preferences goodbye. I would have to put down a $1,000 deposit for a dog and would get whatever the mother produced, be it a boy or girl, black or white. I couldn’t afford or justify the deposit or the price of one so I didn’t know how it would be possible for me to get my perfect pup. But, I just couldn’t stop looking at that Frenchie photo. It made me so excited that I would smile and giggle out loud. “That’s my puppy,” I’d tell myself.
In December one of the Facebook pages I liked posted a photo of a puppy from a recent litter. These puppies were always spoken for before they were born but this time the photo said, “I’m available! I’m ready to go home with you today.” I called right away and spoke with the breeder. She was leaving the following morning for a dog show and planned to take the puppy with her and sell him there. If I wanted him I had no time to think about it. I told her yes that I wanted him and would pick him up the next day. An inspiring idea of how to pay for the $3,500 dog came to me, I would put him on my credit card and I had things I no longer needed and would sell them to pay for him. I told 2 people close to me and they were both excited! The next morning I got ready to go pick my puppy up two hours away from home and spoke to the breeder one last time. She would only accept cash. I knew I couldn’t get that amount of cash so quickly but told her that it won’t be a problem. I couldn’t ask anyone for that amount of money, what was I going to do?
Within 30 minutes both people I had told about the pup texted me asking “Are you a mommy now?!” I told them I probably wouldn’t be because of the cash situation. And without asking, one of them offered to wire me the money she made from some jewelry she just sold and the other told me to meet him at his bank right away and he’d run in and get me cash. I told them both I couldn’t and they both insisted and told me I had to take it because I was meant to have this puppy.
Well, by 3pm that afternoon my puppy was in my arms and I paid the total amount of the dog back to my friends two days later! Hercules looks just like the dog in the photo I would look at and he’s everything I imagined him to be! He gets along great with my imaginary dog Zeus and everyone who was opposed to me getting a puppy has since warmed up to him! Getting Hercules was one of the most magical things that has ever happened to me and I’m so grateful that people, circumstances and events changed to make it possible.
I just had to share this story with you and I hope it can inspire you to make believe and giggle about what you want. Regardless of your current circumstances, anything is possible!
