Gizmo Adoption III: the emails.

Email from Grace Mark to Ginny Weisman, who saved Gizmo:                 Dear Ginny:   Gizmo is such a gentle, wonderful little animal that it is hard to realize that, had it not been for your intervention and your extreme efforts to drive to and from LA to pick him up, he would have been silenced forever.                                                                                    We really do love the little guy--really love him--and it's all because you made this little miracle happen in your lives.   I've been thinking about this for the last couple of days and realize that I was not nearly fulsome enough in my thanks and praise for your mission.  But I really did want you to know how grateful Norm and I are that you saved this little dog for us.  
Email from Ginny Weisman to Grace:                                                       Dear Grace,  It means so much to know that this adoption has such a happy ending.  The minute I saw Gizmo’s photo in that email I thought of you and Norm and somehow “knew” it was a match.                                                               I get literally hundreds of photos each week about dogs needing to be rescued before it is too late.  Needless to say, I can only help a few but for some reason I HAD to make that drive to get that particular dog when you generously agreed to be his foster home.                                                                           After over a decade of animal rescue, I am convinced we just don’t pick our pets but they also pick us, and it is clear you, Norm and Gizmo were meant to be.
         Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughtful acknowledgement of my part in cosmic plan.  Animal rescue truly feeds my soul and touches my heart in a way that only saving a life can do.  
         And most of all, thank you for your willingness to give that sweet little “angel in a fur coat” the  wonderful, loving, forever home he deserves.  
         Wishing all of you a long, happy, healthy and loving life together!  Wags and Hugs,                Ginny Weissman    www.PetMinistryCSL.com
         Email From Norm to Ginny: I read your email aloud along with tears of gratitude and joy.
           Joy: which brings us to Gizmo, waiting now patiently for his morning walk: he is a joy, the ultimate good dog for us, a relationship that can best be described as a wedding:  Yes, unreservedly we love him and he loves us, is now family — and that is due to you, you darling, wonderful, giving, love-sending soul.
           Which brings me back to why I am writing this: thank you — for your generosity of heart and spirit, for your realization that you could be the instrument of uniting beings that wanted to be together and didn’t know it — until you took that long drive to save Gizmo.   Sending you love, Norm
