It's been a while since I posted, but I have news!!
It finally happened, and happened quickly in the end – Topaz found her forever family and went to join them last Saturday, 29 September! I was beginning to feel rather glum after so many families had not only expressed an interest but come and visited us and said they wanted to take her, only to decide against being Guardians for many different reasons. One begins to feel one is wasting one’s time dealing with people who are just going to say no...
But the family she went to is great – mom and dad with three kids similar in age to my two, they’ve had dogs before so know what having a dog is all about, and as a bonus, they live a mere 5-10 minutes’ drive from us! They contacted me early last week, came to visit us on Friday night, and called Saturday to say they were ready to proceed. Yay! Topaz lives in a nice older home with a backyard that backs onto a local off-leash area, so she’ll have lots of opportunities to play outside and meet other dogs and people. Her dad is working at home for the time being, so she will have company during the day, at least for now.
We are very pleased with Topaz’s home situation and glad that she has been placed. We’re now down to 3 dogs at home with the prospect of that going to two just after Thanksgiving – stay tuned!
