Brian, you didn't replace Sierra. You just added Meadow to her legacy to continue it... You also would have adopted Meadow with Sierra there. You just got that huge, caring heart. I'm very proud of you for rescuing Meadow. You both needed this relationship.

Brian don’t for one minute feel guilty about giving another dog a chance at a happy life. They are nothing without us. Sierra will always be in your heart, that will never change. It’s wonderful watching Meadow’s awe as she starts navigating life. Thank you for bringing us along and letting us watch her grow. Stay safe.

Sierra's spirit is guiding you. It's been said that doggies just know when their life on earth is coming to a close and that another is in need of their hooman's love. Meadow will bring you much joy. Sierra can now be in peace knowing you ate not alone. Be blessed.

I have to 100% agree with you. Brain you, should never feel guilty about giving a shelter dog a second chance at life. Im 38 years old and to be honest. All I can remember is my family rescuing dogs and cat and giving them a second chance at all. My family has been doing it doing it since I was 8. So the best thing I could honestly say coming from a perspective rescuer. If they could actually speak. In the end they when its there time to return home. They would tell thank you for giving me a chance where no one else would, thank you for giving me a chance to experience life. My Golden Retriever passed away 2 years ago this August from liver and spinal failure. I want to say he lived to be 13 or 14. He was a rescue.

Dogs are indeed angels sent to us to make us better people. Though they leave us far too early, breaking our hearts in the process, we always seem to go back for more. Its good that we do.

Sierra sent her to help you heal. That’s how I felt when I got another dog. My precious Hope had died about 2 months before I found my Boomer. I was so lonely without her. When I saw him, I knew. He is almost the same dog! Maybe even sweeter! You never forget-you just make room in your heart for another dog to love.

Great bonding time at her age too. Truth Bro, the Lord does things by surprise quite often. Im a Believer and daily send prayers for all the folks i subscribe to. Especially as the world is changing so fast. And healing is a healthy part of us as humans after loss. Lost both my parents in 2000,2001, 6 months apart, and the loss of my job, & had a stroke. Today 3 years later, looking back those were some dark years. 1 day at a time now, but a lotta healing, and self prayer and faith in my Savior. stoked for you and Meadow. enjoy her puppydays😋😁😁🙏🙏🤙🤙

I agree with you, God has a way of opening our eyes to things we aren't able to see. The lesson I've learned is to keep loving with all my heart. Sierra was so a special companion and I'd give anything to have one more day with her. Unfortunately cancer had other plans. I've asked God to help soothe my pain during this time and I was rewarded with Meadow coming into my life. I'm very thankful for her playful energy and innocence, she's just what I needed. Hope you have a nice Thursday ~ Brian

I had my last one 12 and half years , I gave her the best life . My heart hasn't been the same since she left . I'm so glad you got little Meadow she is so pretty and she looks like a baby Sierra. I'm glad you still put Sierra in the videos cause we miss her to. I hope yall have a wonderful weekend ❤❤ and Brian they are angels without wings I believe that.
