We have two dogs in our family, who have been with us about 9 years or so. I’ve written about them in my second book, especially Sandy, who’s a mixed Beagle and Dachshund. When we lived at our old house we had two electric gates for the driveway, and occasionally one would stay open because of twigs or pecans on the track. She would escape and it was a real chore to find her, especially as we lived next to a busy four-lane street. I requested lots of Most Benevolent Outcomes and tracked her down each time.
Three years ago we decided we needed new surroundings after living in the same area 35 years, so I requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for the PERFECT house for us, and my wife found it shortly afterwards in the northern Dallas suburb town of Plano, Texas (most safe town in the USA according to Forbes magazine).
Since we moved, we have been very careful to keep the gate closed (we have an automatic garage door we also have to watch too).
Recently on a Friday I had a terrible time with the computer program I use for my weekly newsletter. I finally had to send it out as text only. It was a mentally exhausting day, and I collapsed into my chair to watch TV before dinner. Then my wife asked me to take a large box out to the recycle bins, and I opened the gate and placed it there. Somehow I did not close the gate all the way.
Our daughter was at the house clearing out our living room; she’s been using it for her photography studio the past three years until she builds one at her new house they moved into in late November. We were having friends over the next night for a New Year’s Eve dinner. My daughter checked the garage to make sure Sandy was not in there after moving her props there. She was not there nor anywhere in the house.
We then noticed the back door was open, and then we saw the gate was open too. We all panicked. So our son, daughter, my wife and I all went out into the neighborhood calling for her. I had injured my knee again carrying heavy tables, so I decided to drive around the neighborhood. I said with emotion, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for finding Sandy, thank you!”
I first tried the street behind us, but it did not “feel” right, so then I turned onto the busy six-lane street we live next to and turned onto our street. My family was already down the street knocking on doors, so I turned down an alley with the windows down to possibly hear dogs barking at Sandy, but nothing. Then I turned right and came back up the street, which backed up on the alley. I stopped and knocked on a couple of doors, but no one had seen her. So back in my car.
I decided to try a little “hand dowsing,” where you hold your hands up to feel energy, and I told my own Guardian Angel Theo out loud to point me in the right direction. I turned back onto our street and started to turn into the same alley, but I said out loud, “I’ve already been down this alley,” backed up then turned down the other street, which backed up to that same alley. As I drove down the street there is a cul-de-sac on the left. I saw a lady and her daughter washing off the front porch, pulled in and got out. I asked if they had seen a dog passing by and she responded, “Oh! The lady down at the end of the street has the dog! Her name is Rita and she’s in the last house on the block.”
I thanked her, jumped back in the car and drove down to the house, which backed up on that same alley I had driven down before. Rita and her husband have three dogs of their own and she had carried our dog all the way down from our street to her home, placed Sandy in her back yard and called animal control, which was on their way to pick Sandy up. I had arrived just in time. I thanked Rita profusely, picked up Sandy and took her home. Later we took a small gift to Rita and her husband as a thank you for taking such good care of Sandy. Now that’s a Most Benevolent Outcome story with a great ending!
