Marie the Puppy
Now Dottie
Now Dottie
She spent the first few days sleeping.
She spent the next few days trying to get Poncho to share his bed with her.
Only to decide sharing Chicos big blue pillow was much more fun.
She was a sneaky little one. One night she tore a hole in the big bed so I had to turn it upside down. They must have thought it was a new bed because everyone wanted to sleep in it. And they did.
She even got in a few naps with Alex.
I was so worried, until I got an email from her new mom. She told us they decided to call her Dottie. And she sent me this photo. She had turned her kids table into a dog bed. Yes! I knew she would be loved.
The morning she was to be picked up we had a soccer game. So we dropped her off. And before getting back in the car I took a look back and she was just watching me go. At halftime I checked my phone, no emails or texts. After the game David asked me if I wanted to swing by and see if she got picked up yet. And I couldn't do it. I had faith that she was going to a new home. I knew they were excited and I knew they would love her. I had to let her go. That night, I opened up my email and found this. Along with some more pictures
Kim, Thanks so much for loving her! We got home about 2 hours ago and she is doing great! She LOVES our yard! She took a few spins around the yard already.
Taking a dog in. Loving them and then placing them in another home and family is one of the hardest things I have had to do. But knowing that they are safe and loved, outweighs all the work and worries. I have kept intouch with Dotties mom on facebook and have been able to watch her grow up.
Yesterday she turned ONE! She is happy. My heart is happy. Happy Birthday Dottie!!
