Rageltjie Victor – who’s rescuing who?

I’m not aloud to go to the Denlyn Market again if the puppy rescue is there.

What was supposed to be a quick trip to the monthly Denlyn Market in Langebaan to do a quick collection of a product that I ordered ended in another addition to the already Crazy Victor clan.

Having had an arrangement to only collect the product from somewhere else on the Sunday, when our day was unexpectedly freed up the trip to the market was spontaneous and we ended up choosing a relaxing morning popping into the market and afterwards enjoying a delicious coffee & breakfast at our local barista – Fooderia. (Do make a point to visit them in Langebaan – you will not be disappointed.)

We didn’t know that Rageltjie was calling on us and that while she was patiently waiting at the LAC stand (Langebaan Animal Care) we were actually on our way to collect a bundle of love and blessings instead of a product I had ordered.

When love speaks louder than your head and all the “what if’s”, “can not’s & doubts, just open your heart and trust – for the joy & blessings that allows to flow usually far outweighs anything that can be measured in cost & effort.

Rageltjie didn’t know how long she would be chained to a gate, when she would be fed again and if she would ever experience unconditional love.
She will be our constant reminder that there is always hope, miracles do happen and things can turn around in the blink of an eye – one day, chained to a fence, the next day there is a crowd clapping every time you make a wee-wee outside – we are all here to help straighten her crown.
We hope that Rageltjie will remind everyone lucky enough to meet her or read her story that we never know the good that is still in store for us. Hold on. Keep going. Trust. We pray that no matter how dark it’s been – you will find someone to help straighten your crown.

We are so proud of the rest of the pack – Trompie, Daisie, Skollie, Bella, Magiel, Katinka, Kattewis, Kattraai, Angel, Nirvana , the chickens and the geese – all of them having welcomed her without any hesitation – sharing their space with compassion and filling Oorgenoeg with love and blessings. How did we get this lucky. We are indeed blessed beyond measure.

Welcome Rageltjie! We are so lucky that once again our family has grown – this time completely unplanned – as usual – and completely spontaneous – more often than not!

I have to go to the Denlyn Market if the puppy rescue is there.
