Yes, sometimes it is meant to be. On the day we rescued Killian from death row, I was actually at the shelter to adopt a Great Pyr. In fact, just before I was going to choose her, I thought I'd go over to Killian and explain to him that I thought she might need me more. However, Killian was set to die soon, he was a sickly 69 lbs. with hair loss. rash and on death row. I took one look into his eyes and knew that I was taking him. I did tell the shelter if the Great Pyr was not adopted, to let me know and I would take her too, but Killian was going to be mine. Even though he has cost us over $5000 with all his medical problems, I would do it again in a heartbeat. We have battled each and every problem he has had. We fight the good fight every day. It pains me that I now see him slowing down more and more and his days with me may be ending all too soon. He is priceless.

So, I, too. know what you mean by "it was meant to be."
