Happy, Sad!

Above, Hudson and Rocky get acquainted.    Rocky (left) will be Hudson's new brother, he will teach Hudson how to be a loving and well mannered Golden Retriever. 

There should be a word for "Happy, Sad".  One word that can tell you what we feel when we find a new Forever Home for one of our fosters, and also describes how we miss them when they are gone.

Hudson went to meet his new family today, we all four went over to Rescue Central together.  Bella and I went along to keep everyone company, Hudson and Hilary went because they were to meet prospective new families. 

Hudson met his family and was quite taken by them.    Their Golden, Rocky, and Hudson got acquainted and decided that they could be best friends, given some time.   Hudson, being the timid puppy farm escapee that he is, takes time to warm up to anyone.   But he and Rocky get along very well.   We are all very pleased with the home that Hudson will have.    He has to spend a few days in a condominium, they had a fire at their home and are staying a few blocks away till the repairs are done.  When he moves back into the new home, he will have a huge yard, lots of toys, a dog door to use, and all the loving a Golden can get from a wonderful family.    We are very happy for him, he can start his forever life now, but we are also sad because he was loved  here and we had some wonderful times playing together. 

Below, two photos of Golden Retriever "Rescue Central", or at least the front porch.   Our mascot is the one on the far left.  He does not play a lot, but he sure keeps a close eye on everything. 

Hilary went along because someone was going to try to make it over to meet her, but they could not make it in time.   So Hilary will have to wait till another day.   But she does have people looking for her, so it will only be a matter of time.

Meanwhile, I have a picture of me playing with a sprinkler in the late evening light.     It has been very hot in Denver, so I hit the sprinklers several times a day. 

We all wish Hudson a long and wonderful life in his new home.  He had such a rough start in life that he deserves to have a wonderful life from here on out.
