Last trip

Today appears to have been Nathan's final trip with us. In a couple of days, on Sunday, a very nice couple will be driving 2 hours to meet, and hopefully adopt him into his forever home. Today we took him along on our hike and the dogs got to play in the water and walk the trails with the kids and I. Here's hoping Nathan's new family is as good to him as he has been to us. Dopey, goofy and doesn't listen for sh*t...but he's a good dog - a good boy. He will be a wonderful addition to anyone's home. Here he will be missed, but we are all very excited he will be in a new, loving, permanent home.

We are grateful to have made it through this first foster experience intact. It's been very rewarding knowing we could help by having him here with us, while just the right family looked for and chose him to come be a member of their family. I hope to someday receive pictures in my email of a plump, happy, graying well loved version of our pal, Nathan. That's a long long way from his beginnings down South that nearly ended in euthanasia. THAT'S what fostering for a rescue is all about.  <3
