Best Wishes, Speedo - good bye sweetie!

This is happy-sad news. Speedo left this morning for a new home. When he joined us back in March, it was with the understanding that it was only till a good forever home became available. This morning Speedo was adopted by a young couple with a big fenced in yard out in a small town. They had a husky-mix previously and are very excited about him joining their family. He'll get to be an inside dog and lounge around in the a/c (lucky dog!) I'm hoping he'll have a chance to get all the attention he wants and maybe get alot more exercise & do things with some young people. I have gotten very attached to him in the past four months, and am happy he's getting a good home, but sad that he is leaving. I was hoping it would be a local family and maybe I would get to see him sometimes, but they live 45+ miles from here. :(

:D Speedo, I love you, sweetie! You deserve the very best - a family of your own to spoil you and love you forever-- I feel lucky to have had you here with us for awhile, you're a great dog! Best of luck, little guy! WE WILL MISS YOU!!!:(

Awww, I knew you had said this was a possibility. Buh-bye Speedo! We were glad to meet you, and maybe your new folks will join Pet Talk so we can still keep in touch!

I'm happy for Speedo and sorry for you. {{{HUGS}}}}

Have fun at your new fur-ever home Speedo! :D I wish you all the best!

You are a wonderful person for taking Speedo in, and I bet you are happy he has found a good home!

This really came as a surprise to me! I'm sure I've missed something in the meantime, but this is the last update I remember seeing on him: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...ighlight=cloud

(forgive me for not replying to that by the way, it was during a time I was having a lot of wrist trouble :o)

Admittedly I haven't been keeping up near as well as I used to, but I guess I just didn't realize that it was meant to be temporary. The family sounds wonderful though, I certainly wish him the best!

Bye Speedo!!!! We will miss you here on PT :( I'm glad you found a great forever home though.

this thread scared me for a moment! last time I was wishing his a happy birthday then I misread speedo was gone. but oh, going to a new home.. whew.

yeah, I read this all unexpectedly too and went for a search to see if there was any speedo thread I missed but only found a thread about his biting problem since ever. hope it wasn't because of that but whatever your reason was, glad speedo is getting a better home and more attention as you think he will.

speedo, hope you're not as nervous as a shy fox and is very happy with your new home! I hope cyber-sibes told your new parents about this site so we'd see more of you again someday!

you'll be missed! :( your lovely odd-eyes. take care, speedo!!

:eek:

To be honest, I didn't think I'd have to say good-by so soon either...hardly seems fair
He's a wonderful little guy - no big problems, just little ones that were adding up. Hubby said "It's time" and since Speedo has an opportunity to go to a good home with "husky people", I'm ok about it. (well, sort of, I'm saying this through my tears.) I didn't want to write anything about it till I knew he had a good home. I offered to donate a pass to the dogpark to them, but as I said, they live quite a distance away.
I'm hoping his new people will at least try out PT - but I don't know if they will. I'll be sending Speedo lots of prayers that he will be happy - I can't imagine anyone not loving him to pieces! Thanks PT-ers, for all your support.
(HOW do you people that do rescue all the time do this? - this is SO HARD)

I can only imagine how tough it was for you to say goodbye. Sending you big {{Hugs}} across the miles. I hope that you will hear from the family from time to time.

Oh. :(

I had no clue you guys planned on giving him to someone else. I had thought after your son gave him to you that he was in a forever home. Good luck to you, Speedo.. and I wish you lots of love and care for the rest of your life!

I know it must have been hard for both you and Speedo.

I, too, did not understand that Speedo's stay was only temporary. I am sure that you found him the very best home for him. I am glad that he has a forever home. We will miss you Speedo. I hope your new folks do check out Pet Talk, because I would love to hear updates on you.

I know it will be hard for you for a while not having Speedo around. Give extra hugs to Star and Sherman, they will give you extra kisses in return.

I was very surprised at this too, I thought you were keeping him. I hope this home is his *forever* home. It'd be great if they joined PT too. Good luck Speedo!

Best Wishes Speedo!!! We will miss you!! Tell your new family they should update us from time to time....

Oh Speedo, we're surely going to miss you at the dog park but it sounds like you've found a great home with people who are going to love you very much.

Good Luck boy!
