After 3,000 years of the Dog/Human relationship, how much trust has really been established? Bella and I wondered how much we should believe the stories our human tells us? Over the past several years we have had over 20 foster dogs in our home, all of them have left for a wonderful forever home, according to our human. But we have only been allowed to go along on a few of the trips to deliver our foster brothers and sisters to their new homes. When it came time for Snickers to go meet his new forever home, Bella and I demanded to go along. We wanted to be sure he was not dropping off our friends at the local dog pound where they would be imprisoned behind glass windows and chain link fences. Trust but Verify is our motto!
Today we were taken along with Snickers to meet his new home in Parker, Colorado. Bella and I could have gladly stayed with Snickers in his new home. Snickers has a new home on a huge park, the back yard overlooks a stream with trees and all kinds of wildlife. Deer come up to the back door, coyotes run up and down the path just beyond the fence. The living room windows come all the way down to the floor, Snickers can lie on a dog bed and watch the joggers and the wildlife in the park beyond his fenced back yard.
There are two other dogs, Rosie, an older black Lab, and Brian, a little yapper. Brian is fun to run with, he is fast and playful. There are three humans, that makes a total of 6 hands to pet a Golden. There were two dog beds in front of the big windows so everyone can be comfortable while they watch outside. There were dozens of toys and tennis balls. Snickers will be allowed to sleep in the bedroom with his new family.
Snickers' new owner says they will be active in Golden Retriever Rescue. They plan on attending our meetings, picnics, and our reunions. It is so much fun to see our friends again at the many events. Now we need to convince our human to take us along all the time, after all, how can he judge whether a home is good for a dog? He needs us to provide a dogs eye view when we evaluate prospective new forever homes for our friends.
Have a wonderful life, Snickers, you deserve it!

Hey Mogley,
ReplyDeleteWell done, I say. Hurray for Snickers and bravo to the family for getting adopted by Snickers! I'm sure Snickers is now relieved he can now be himself and join in the joy of just being a dog with a lovely family to care for.
Congrats!
Your buddy,
Shilo
I am so happy for Snickers. It would be cool if his new forever home family started a blog to keep us posted. :)
