They’ve been adopted. The following is from Rosy, their foster mom:
Happily Ever After Home For Tigger & Pooh
Last night I gave the kiddos another bath. Tigger had a meltdown about the dryer but survided. Pooh didn’t want his dinner – his voice of protest. But they looked wonderful. My plan was to take pictures this morning but the lady coming to see Emily was an hour late and stayed for two hours so I only had time to load their transition food and get them in the car (not complaining – she was a very nice lady).
We took the 1 1/2 hour ride to Divide, CO in absolute silence. They pair usually gives a protest bark as they go down the road and then settles down but they must have senced that this ride was different. When we got there, a small rain shower started to come down but they still enjoyed the new smells. Their tails were not on their backs but realizing that they didn’t understand what this was about, it wasn’t unusual. And the six adults watching their every move didn’t help. They went to everyone for a pet and a cuddle but the tails were not happy unless they were outside running the yard. They exlpored the yard, the six foot fence, and every inch of the house. They found where their water dish was and took a few licks. They were shown their own couch (not everyone has furniture waiting for their furkids). Not ever having had their own furniture, they didn’t relax on it. Give them a few days – it ill be like they have always been allowed on furniture. They eventually sat down and their eyes started getting heavy. We could tell that they would be OK and that this was really the place they needed to be.
They signed the contract with the rescue chair, I handed over their “stuff” and walked out. My mom had tears in her eyes so I couldn’t look at her. Everyone hugged and got in their cars, Gary went back to his new additions to his family. Holly had stayed in the yard with her new furkids. As I drove past, I looked over… and saw one of the the most beautiful sights I had seen in a long time. It was like they had always been there. Tigger and Pooh were prancing around with their tails firmly on their back, their heads held high, their ears straight up, grins on their face and twinkles in their eyes. They were home. I wanted to stop and take a picture but the tears were just to close to the surface so I drove away.
Gary and Holly have promised to send pictures and updates. Their daughters will be home in the next month and will reports back their introductions. Their daughters grew up with three keesies so they are excited to meed their new fursibblings.
So… one more family with their new keeshond furbabies and two keeshonds no longer found to be disposable. It’s a very good thing.
