It was a beautiful fall day at the park, Jett and I had been to just last week.
She thought it was just another walk in the park but actually we were there to meet her new forever family.
Critter Calvary said the name change was brilliant. I had no idea it made that much of a difference but they said as soon as they published the updated bio and her real name on the adopt a pet websites they started getting hits. I spoke to this lovely couple over the weekend, they rescued their first dog (Codie I think). He is a very shy and timid boy that spent most of his life in shelters with out much socialization.
They sounded like the perfect dog owners… They take him for 4 one mile walks a day and are working with an animal behaviorist. They decided they wanted anther dog to help him adjust to pack life and play with him.
We met at this near by park and Jett seemed the perfect match. The right size and temperament (excited but not over-baring). I think it may have been love a t first sight. So I suggested they take them both for a walk. They came back smiling. I told them a little more about her and they decided to adopt her.
As they drove away my heart felt heavy.
I have had her for 6 months. She followed me around every room of the house since April 1st. She ate my flip flops and tops of my boots. She slept at the foot of my bed every night and gave me cuddles and kisses every morning. Fostering dogs is not easy but to think she is now doing those things with her forever family makes it all worth while.
