Meet the newest member of our family — Toffee Roger Wencl! He became an official Wencl this past Sunday and the transition thus far has been a smooth one both for Toffee and for us!
Toffee loves to play and he loves to walk — and he’s a wonderful leash walker — always by my side and never pulling or bounding ahead — something the Legendary Murphy ALWAYS did whenever we attempted to take him on a walk!
As I sit at my computer, Toffee is never far away — three dog toys lay scattered on the floor nearby and he hovers on either side of me waiting for a scratch, a pet, or just an affirmation of what a good boy he is.
Night times are seamless as Roger goes to bed, Toffee kennels up without a peep. Each morning he waits silently, but eagerly, for the day to begin. Sometimes I wonder if he ever sleeps!
The most astounding piece of this new puzzle, however, are the resounding signs from above that Toffee was meant for us — picked especially for us by Elizabeth & Murphy. Toffee’s foster Mom was named Beth; and the lady who did our final interview and deemed us to be a good adoptive home was named Liz. Liz-Beth! Toffee made his first visit to our home on the 20th of the month — Liz died on the 20th; and we received confirmation that Toffee was ours on the 21st — exactly one month to the day that Murphy died.
Our family will be forever connected no matter where we are! Love is always in the air!




I absolutely love this. I also love that you’re now calling Mur “The Legendary Murphy” 😀 What love you give, and what love you receive!! Can’t wait to meet the little pup!
Thank you Kim, great story. Love those “divine coincidences”. I actually had a rare but lovely dream about Ivy last night. It was her 10th BD and she was wearing a pretty dress and had her hair up. She was very happy, smiling and sparkling with excitement. She was gone before her 10th BD. It’s her birth month, I will be looking for more signs.

Absolutely wonderful, Kim! I’m so happy for all of you! And your Toffee Roger Wencl is too adorable for words ♥
Hi Kim,
What wonderful coincidences……… Toffee seems to be really a gem…… a wonderful leash walker….wow !! I had a German Shepherd, 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Tibet Apso – all very special dogs and non of them very obedient. Must be because I myself HATE to be obedient…. 😉
Bright blessings,
Antonia
