The countdown has begun!

Roxanne went to visit a nice couple at their home earlier in the week.   We made special arrangements, most of the time a foster does not get to spend time in a prospective new home before she has to make up her mind.   In this case, since they lived nearby and we had a nice sunny day, we arranged to drop her by and after some serious questions, we left her to play for a while.   She liked the family, she liked the home, she liked the back yard, and she liked the way they threw the ball.   They liked her quiet manners, they liked her polite behaviour, they like her beautiful coat and her loving ways.    It was a very good afternoon.  They went for a walk to meet some of the neighborhood dogs, it was a good outing.     She particularly liked the hand to dog ratio, it is 6 to one.    She liked the extra attention.

But they had to travel out of town for a couple of days.   They asked if we would hold Roxanne for them until they got back.   Then they called from out of town to adopt her, they were afraid someone else might claim her while they were gone.   We told Roxanne the news, she was very happy.     They have had several goldens in the past and were just waiting to adopt in order to honour the memory of their last golden.   

This evening, they will come home and we will meet them again to leave Roxanne to settle into her new Forever Home.   They plan a trip to the pet store to buy the correct food, treats and a new bowl.   Roxanne gets to start with her own items, not used ones.   We will send her with a bag of tennis balls, Roxanne is a tennis ball fan. 

Say goodby to Roxanne, she is a foster, orphan, no more.   She is a lady with a home, a family and a future.   

Roxanne, we will miss you a lot, and we wish you a wonderful rest of your life.
