Farewell, Gus! See you next month

Gus went to his forever home last night and received a king's welcome. His new water bowl says "top dog" and he most certainly is on top of the world with his new family. As always it was difficult saying goodbye, but seeing how special he'll be treated made it a lot easier. Plus, he's only a couple miles from our house so we'll get a chance to see him sometimes - maybe he'll even visit the "10 am pack" at French Lake Dog park once he's settled into his new routine.

We'll be puppysitting him in about a month so that makes everyone here at "doggy central" extremely happy! Well, except maybe Frodo who is fond of the rare "only dog" moments that he gets. His new family didn't want him to think that he was going to yet another home in a month when they go on a vacation that was planned pre-Gus. He'll visit us for a week and the short transition won't phase him a bit.

So another happy tail! Above you see Gus, checking out his new yard while being held by his mom. She had to pick him up so I could get a picture because he was moving so much that he was just a blur.

We'll be puppysitting someone else's foster puppy for a few days while the paperwork for their forever home is being processed. Soon there should be several dogs coming to Washington from Texas and we'll get our next two fosters. I'll post with photos when the puppy arrives this week.
