An SP (Specific Pet) Success Story

In a post from a few months ago, I spoke about how I used the law of assumption to manifest a cat based on a picture I had of my ideal pet. That post is called How I Got the Exact Pet I Wanted (A Lesson in Trusting the Bridge of Events), and it talks a lot about trusting the process and keeping the end result in mind no matter what the 3D world seems to be showing you.

This post is another pet success story that is perhaps an even more impressive demonstration of the law of assumption in action. This time, I manifested essentially the pet equivalent of a specific person manifestation: a specific pet.

In this post, I will be detailing how I saw a specific pet (as in, the specific individual) I wanted, and how that exact pet is now sleeping in the other room in my house, 100% mine through a crazy bridge of events.

Enter Marley

It started about a year ago, when a friend of mine became impulsively set on getting a new puppy. This friend wasn’t particularly close to me, but we had mutual friends and would see each other semi-regularly. They ended up adopting a three-month-old puppy off craigslist that needed to be rehomed.

For the purpose of this post, we will call the puppy Marley.

I fell absolutely in love with Marley. He was goofy and charming, and he grew up into an absolutely gorgeous dog over the next few months.

I really adored Marley, and couldn’t help but fantasize about having him as my dog. I imagined taking him for walks and what it would feel like to have his head on my lap during a quiet evening at home. He even inadvertently made cameos in other meditations for other intentions and manifestations; I imagined having him at a coffee shop with me while meeting an SP, and I naturally visualized him making appearances on my social media while imagining posting about a sport I wanted to start trying.

I should be clear that it was never my intention to do harm or to “steal him away” from my friends. But I was open to the idea that, should my friends ever need to rehome Marley, that the universe would bring Marley to me.

I was always a little nervous about my friends, however, because I wondered if they would be able to give Marley a good home. They got him kind of impulsively, and always seemed to have problems with their living situation. For about a year, though, everything seemed to be doing okay.

I do remember once, without thinking of manifesting or the law of assumption, telling a friend in confidence that I was worried that one day Marley’s owners wouldn’t be able to keep him.

Speaking it Into Existence

This did eventually come to pass.

After having Marley for about a year, my friends had a major falling out with their housemates, from whom they rented their room. There were issues around Marley’s size and energy levels and my friends’ ability to keep up with him.

It was decided that Marley had to be rehomed.

At the time I told my friends that I would be happy to take Marley, but if I did he would be my dog. I was not willing to put in the work to essentially board him for free, which is what my friends wanted; to eventually take him back.

I wasn’t willing to do unpaid labor and potentially set myself up for heartbreak taking care of Marley and having to give him up eventually, so I gave my friends my offer to either board him for a fair fee or to adopt him as my own. I gave them that offer and my sympathy, and allowed the universe to bring whatever would come.

My friends did not rehome Marley to me.

Marley went to live with a different friend of theirs, instead. I was told that it was a great match, and that eventually my friends could take Marley back when their living situation was better. I was a little saddened that this wasn’t my time for Marley, and even more saddened at the idea of never seeing Marley again.

Persist in the Face of Adversity

Despite the bleak look of things, I kept imagining Marley.

Not because I was trying to force the 3D, but because it felt good to see him in my mind’s eye. I missed seeing him, so I would imagine taking him for walks, and the feel of his fur on my hands and the weight of his head in my lap.

I didn’t see Marley for months in the physical world, but I saw him at least a little bit quite frequently in my imagination. Even though it seemed like I would never see him again, I let it go and enjoyed his company in my mind.

A few months later, I got a call out of the blue from my friends, Marley’s owners.

They said that the place Marley was staying at wasn’t working out. That they were suspicious he was being mistreated, and that after an argument with the people Marley was staying with, they gave my friends a week to find him a new place.

My friends told me that they were now willing to let Marley really go to a new home, because Marley being treated well was far more important than them having ownership of him. They asked me if I still wanted him, and I said that I did.

My friends dropped Marley off to me yesterday.

After a series of events that made the outcome look bleak, I now have the specific pet that I dreamed about, all because I lived the truth of my imagination, and persisted despite appearances.

Even in what might seem like failure, it’s important to persist. If I had given up in despair when the 3D made it seem like I would never see Marley again, that very well may have become my truth. In reality, Marley going to that other home for a few months was really just a placeholder. I can see now that there were things I needed to get done in those couple months that made the timing perfect.

I think the moral of this success story of manifesting a specific pet is to persist in faith no matter what. Things can seem bleak, when really the universe is still just shifting to your inner desire.
