Diesel's Day

We went to a Promises adoption event in northern Virginia today. I took Coco and Angel along too, but it was really Diesel's day. An applicant came to meet him and brought her two dogs along. It wasn't the ideal meeting environment so I suggested that we go to the adopter's house and see how the dogs did when they were more relaxed in their home environment. 

It was a good suggestion because we could let the dogs meet off-leash. We could see how protective/possessive the resident dogs were and how welcoming they would be to a new arrival. There was also a fenced backyard where Diesel and one of the other dogs immediately took to playing/chasing one another. Diesel looked very content in the new environment and seemed to settle in nicely and was already looking to and following the adopter around.

 

Diesel's temperament seemed like a good match for the household and he felt quite comfortable there. I felt quite comfortable leaving him there. It was a long drive but totally worth it to place a dog in a great home. 

Diesel has a new home. We should be very happy for Diesel. Good night Diesel.
