2 Adoptions for the Easter Weekend

They come, they go. The more we foster, the more the new fosters are networked before they even lay foot here. Sometimes it feels we're less of a foster home than hotel, offering a small blip of a vacation between wherever it was before, and forever. A teeny blip on a map.

Yesterday Suzie's people drove over from the mainland and met up with sweet but spunky Duke. Suzie and Duke hit it off right away, and Duke, being the adventurous guy he is, jumped up in the vehicle without a glance back. Suzie was a little put off, I think she thought she was coming back to stay at first. Poor sweetie. You are in your forever home. You will never have to come back!

Duke is both a rambunctious rascal, and a cuddle muffin. He is a ying to Suzie's yang. I'm sure at times he will be frustrating, but he'll make up for it in love.

Here is Duke with his new family:

GG left for her new home this morning. There was an explosion of applications for her, but she fell in love with her girl and picked her own family. It was obvious she needed a child in her life! She remembered where she was going this morning. I will get the pictures from their "paper signing" soon. She gave me a couple of glances back as I left, but walked away proud with her new family. It was very fulfilling to be a part of her journey, especially waiting so long without any interest and to come into a mountain of it.

Coleman AKA "Floof" will be going in this week to get his teeth checked out. For a young dog he has horrible breath and a whole ton of staining. Some of the smaller teeth look like they might be starting to rot :(. He continues to be a delightful little man. He is now allowed on a long-line when we're out and about, on which he can enjoy his freedom and bound through the fields. Lemon quite likes him now too. He is very much a puppy, likes to nibble on stuff. Has a way to go with the housetraining but at least he's small!

Not sure if they'll be someone coming from TG this run or not. It might be time for a little break. Though it will certainly feel weird if we take a bus run off, we haven't taken one in well over a year. I'm guessing we'll either cave and foster someone, or someone will show up that fits the bill right before the bus run is ready to go. For now, a week of enjoying the little fluffy guy.
