Foster Dog Marlin has been ADOPTED!!! :)

[Freedom]

By US! Marlin is now officially part of our family. Hooray for Marlin! Over the holidays, my brother was here a bit more than usual, and he commented that, after living here at the 'pet spa' for 5 months, anywhere else would be such a let down to Marlin. That got me thinking, and then I started worrying that someone else may adopt him. Discussions with Dad followed and here we are!

I guess Marlin will have TWO "Gotcha" Days. Aug 2, when I "GOT" him as a foster, and Jan 7, when I offiicially "GOT" him as mine, all MINE.

Aug 2 arrival:

;) Many Congrats Wittle One On Your New Home.. I know you will do well..

[Scooter's Mom]

Congratulations, Marlin! You sure knew the right place to get a home - a Pet Talk home, and with Sandie at that. You're going to live the life of luxury now.

Congratulations, Sandie! Any decisions on Ozzy?

Hey, one step at a time! This is MARLIN'S thread and time to shine!
(I don't think we will adopt Ozzy; I don't think we need to; fairly sure we have him for life.)

[pitc9]

Yeah!!
Congrats all around!

[chocolatepuppy]

Yay! Marlin is here to stay! :D

[cassiesmom]

Welcome (again), Marlin Darlin! I like your jacket, by the way! And I REALLY like the October 13 picture! If I could, I'd stick my head through the monitor to give you kissies. You're such a cutie.

I was sad to see the title of this thread. I was hoping to have Marlin here at PT longer. Now I see that I will! :D :D Glad you aren't going anywhere Marlin! Congratulations to you and to Marlin - a winning combo if ever there was one! :cool:

[robinh]

a foster failure! It happens to almost all of us. ;)

Congratulations to both of you. Can't think of a better place for him. The pictures say everything, he's so happy.

:D

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

YIPEE FOR MARLIN!! Your title made my heart sink, I thought, awww there won't be any more pictures of him :( But then I thought how selfish of me, that I should be happy he was getting a home. Now I am ecstatic to see that he is staying right there with you and your Dad and we will get to see lots and lots of him. Congradulations to both of you!!! See everyone wins, you, Marlin and all us at PT.
