Adoption updates

It is always nice to get good news about my former foster dogs. It is even nicer when they send pictures along too. Nothing makes my day, short of an adoption of another dog, like getting an email from an adopter saying how happy they are with their new dog. Samson went to a new home in Richmond a couple weeks ago. The first few days were a bit difficult, but they started an obedience class right away and they seem to have smoothed out the initial bumps.

He certainly looks happy and content, and that is what this is all about.

Destiny is also doing well. She is a constant companion to her new owner and she is getting the love, care, and treatment that she needs. She has a grooming service that comes to her and she is getting a medicated bath every other week as well as an aloe treatment for her skin. She greets strangers with a big wag of the tail. She didn't make a sound for the first several days, but once she settled in she decided that the printer ejecting paper needed to be barked at. Destiny has a home in the country as well, which she reportedly enjoyed last weekend.

All dogs deserve great homes, but after what this dog has gone through, she deserves the very best, and she has it.

Diego is now called Tevya. His owners take him to the dog park almost every day because he enjoys it. (I love people who cater to their dogs' desires.) This was not an easy dog in the beginning. He tore up a number of things, including a nice, new, big bed that his owner had got for him. But they hung in there, he has settled down, and has turned into a wonderful dog. He prefers sleeping with a pillow. He has the happiest, goofiest, smile on his face at all times.
