Please kindly keep "Natalia Chernova" in your prayers.

This is the puppy that Natalia likes and wants. Natalia Chernova wrote an email to me from Russia. It was a long, yet meaningful, sweet and enthusiastic letter. She breeds and shows Shitzus and her Shitzu is one of the best in Russia right now. She said she spent many hours with my website at her first time visiting and she studied about me and started to study about Chihuahuas and finally she decided to write a letter to me telling me that she wanted to start having Chihuahuas because she likes this breed and she wanted to have a new friend like me who can talk and share the same interests.

Each time we have a long conversation... and we are happy. Every time I receive an e-mail from her, I'm impressed, not only because in each of her letters she respects other peoples' achievements and she is proud of what she does (her Shitzus, which are ranked in the top of Russia, are loved, groomed, trained and showed by herself and Kristina, her daughter, as an assistant) but also what impressed me the most... which I never told her before... was that her neat, warm, funny, beautiful-worded letters which show her sweet heart were written with a dictionary and computer translation! I have tried to write Chinese from a dictionary before, but it didn't work out and I gave up on the second sentence and never tried again. But Natalia wrote letters to me using a dictionary so many times and they were so long,so nice,so neat!

Suddenly, the warm and beautiful letters disappeared from my mailbox for 2 weeks. I told myself there must be something wrong.

Yesterday, which was Valentine's Day, Kristina, Natalia's daughter kindly sent a Valentine's Day card to me saying that she believes it is something her mother would want her to do...

Kristina told me that her mom had an accident when she fell down on the street and fainted. She has been hospitalized until now, which is 2 weeks already - equal to the time that she has been gone from my mailbox. The doctor has not yet been able to indicate the symptoms.

Miracles do not happen often, but they are something that can happen and that we can hope for!!! A prayer that comes from a pure, beautiful heart must be powerful and might bring a miracle!! So, I would like to ask all my friends to keep Natalia in your prayers, according to your religion.

I hope and pray Natalia gets better soon, miraculously. I hope that she will get back to take care of her beloved Shitzus who are still wondering where their mommy is. They must miss her so much.

I, myself, will keep a Chuhuahua that Natalia wants for herself, and will send the pup to her as a gift when she returns to her normal life. I believe that I will have the chance to do so.
