Seeing Lucy!

Yesterday I delivered our last puppy from the Visa litter. Due to a death in the family that Sweetie was going to live with, the lady that has Lucy (see earlier blog, Dream Breeder) met me to pick her up and take her to her new humans. I feel confident Sweetie will be the love a 12 year boy's life.

More importantly I got to see Lucy yesterday. I must say I left there both happy and sad. Seeing her brought a flood of tears and emotion. I know now, seeing it with my own eyes, that Lucy is where she should be! Lucy loves her new Mom. She knew us, and was willing to be held by myself and my husband, but she was looking over her shoulder to make sure Lori wasn't far away.

This meeting was very scary for Lori as well since she was worried that Lucy would want to go with us. Not a chance. Lucy is so devoted to Lori, that is a great thing!

The moral of the story is this... spending the time to make sure where your babies are going is well worth the effort. There are great homes out there for your older dogs if you just look for them. I believe that every dog has a place that they are supposed to be. It is our responsibility to help them be there. Lucy filled a huge need while she was here, now she is filling Lori's heart with love and companionship when she really needed that unconditional love after loosing her older dog.
