Meeting Chester and Maggie

Last week I was driving back to N MI. I was on the phone and pulled into a gas station to talk because I was running out of signal. Next to me is a car with an OES behind the wheel. There is a woman in the car so I go over to talk to her(big suprise). She introduces me to Maggie and says "that's Chester in the back, he's 13." I look at Chester and he looks just like my Luke, same eyes, same expression. I remarked on this to the woman and she tells me she got both of them from a small town called Otsego. Her dogs were from Margaret Gordon, just like my 4 are.
Her husband came back to the car and we talked for several minutes. Of course I told them about the forum :D How odd that we should both stop at the same place at the same time.

Hi,

Stuff like that happens to me all the time, karma, idiosyncre.... you know what I mean..more so than the average person, or so my friends tell me. I am always amazed at that little quirk in time makes all the difference. Like in your case, a few mins later and you would have missed it other! I wonder what the odds are regarding that.

Sounds like it was just meant to be!!!

Great story and thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's crazy! Where were they from?
They live in Davisburg and were going to Lewiston. I met them at 75/exit 202.
A friend of mine keeps telling me she keeps seeing a lot of OES downriver. I'm not sure if she's right or she thinks all fluffy big dogs are OES! I told her when the weather gets nicer I'll go look around with her. Speaking of weather, can you believe this? 80 degrees last week and we've got about 2 inches of snow already. Stupid Michigan :(
There is a breeder in Monroe, maybe those are the one she sees.
I hate this weather, the wind coming off Lake MI is terrible. It was warm here last week but now we're back to COLD.
