Noel. Rigby. Brightlie.
This week our biggest event was the adoption of our two dogs into other homes. Now, if you are not a pet person, its hard to understand the attachment one feels towards towards their friendly canine companions, but we have enjoyed dogs in our lives. I grew up with dogs. Rigby was Paul's first official pet that was "his". And it has been a blessing in our lives to have Brightlie grow up not being afraid of dogs, but loving them, feeding them, and playing with them.
However, we've known that this day was coming. Our backyrd is not really big enough for two big dogs. And we have crappy, complaining neighbors who drive us nuts over our dogs. And Paul and I are not "inside pet" people, yuck! So that is not an option. And we have a newborn on the way.... and with Paul approaching graduation, the chances of us moving to a new home/state is a very realistic possibility. So, we talked about it and decided that we would find loving families to adopt our pets, so that they can have happier, more enjoyable lives. My Aunt took Noel, which is great because she has a farm (Schnepf Farms) and Noel will have tons of room to run and play, as well as that her mom also lives there. (so she will have a dog friend.) Yesterday Rigby too was adopted, officially, via Petsmart's SAFE rescue program. He was adopted with 3 hours of being there, which was amazingly fast the woman told me! He is going to a new home, where he will be loved by a family with two girl, and a doxen puppy, so he too will have a doggie friend. Although B is sad and keeps asking where her doggies are, we are happy that they are both happy and in new, more stable homes :)
