Diana's secret Diary

Thumbs up , everybody

I was never one for "blogging" , but I think destiny had some weird plans for me and I need to share this - it's too big to just kept it all in my head . It all began on this crazy day Sunday ! And I thought it was going to be just another bike ride through the park , but now I am stuck there thinking "Diana , this day will change your life !"

I was riding with my friend Patty , going through the park entrance when I heard some frantic barking - not very loud , though Patty didn't even notice , but I stopped and went to check behind the bushes where it was coming from ......... daaaaaw , three abandoned puppies !

I got pretty worried cuz it seemed like it might rain later , so we went looking for their mom around there . One of the street sweepers told me a female dog had been run over by a car that morning . Patty went pale when she heard that (and actually I felt pretty queasy myself ) , but we knew we had to do something . So I grabbed my phone and looked for the nearest vet.

I put the puppies in the basket of my bike and pedalled all the way there (without Patty , who had to go back home) . When I got to vet , I was told to wait in the reception . Gee , these dogs wouldn't stop - I could hold all three in my arms , but I was going crazy with all that barking . I was told to wait inside the doctors room , but because of the vet was in surgery, but his assistant would be right there , it was a tiny room and I had just put the puppies on the exam table when he appeared- a very tall white-skinned boy( must have been like 6'2") , a well toned having blonde hair with those beautiful blue eyes . He introduced himself as Niall , the assistant. He came in smiling very professional . He didn't seem much older than me but seemed so mature and exuded this very clam feeling .

He started examining the puppies and I asked if he wasn't too young to be a pet vet. He told me he did it to help his dad who owned the clinic while he's still in college. He looked at the puppies carefully but something in his voice just made me feel better . But I stressed out when he wouldn't stop waving the flashlight in front of one of the others . Niall told me that puppy was blind and would require special case . Other then that the poor little things we're malnourished and needed to be bottle feed. For another week every 4 hours .

And the bad news just got worse ..... He asked me if I was going to keep them.
Yikes just to think to my moms reaction made me a bit bonkers - she would strangle me if I got home with theses ..... Three adorable little things .. What should I do?

Niall suggested taking them to a nearby animal shelter- he even offered to drive me there.... Of course I Accepted , right? When he took off his white coat I noticed he was all dressed up with a really nice vest and a shirt that showcased his wide shoulders and think arms . He even helped me store my bike in the clinic.

I could barely believe it when we got there: the shelter was a small house , falling apart ,with a broken windows and paint cracking everywhere . Inside ,it wasn't much better .All the cages where in bad shape and there was water damage on the walls . The guy who helped us admitted that things where pretty run down and that they needed more donations to take care of the place . I started filling out he paperwork when Niall explained about the blind puppy, and I was told they couldn't give her special attention she needed . He looked at me with a serious face and I knew exactly what he was thinking . So I took a deep breath and said I was going to keep her .

Do you really expect to leave that cute little thing suffering there like that? I got her in my lap and looked in her eyes ... And I had to do something to help that shelter ! Now I just had to figure out .. Well ..How to help.

Niall took me home after that and even offered me some formula to help with feeding that adorable baby . But I knew that the hardest part came now : facing my parents . When I got to the apartment my mom immediately saw the puppy in the basket of the bike and opened her mouth .Before she said anything I decided to go first .....

"Mom for real , can you resist her ? Ain't she cutest ?"

The story didn't really stick, but after I explained everything I'd been through , she sighed made a face but my dad and my brother joined in the pouting and she couldn't say no. Heh .. Now all we needed was to give her a name .....

Artemis ! She deserved the Mae of the Greek goddess of animals .
Maybe it's just me but I think this was destiny . I wonder how all of this will end ........
