Goodbye Luca, My friend, My big black Ox

I'm very sorry you're having to go through this, but I'm glad you were able to find such a good home for Luca.

What a very lucky dog Luca is, to get not only one, but two wonderful loving homes. Everything he is will always be a part of you, too. He is so handsome and gentle, and it sounds like he already feels comfortable with his new family. Best wishes for both of you.

Got my first update today. He sounds so happy. They had a long way to get home so part way there they stopped at a hotel and he did great with her. Sleeping on the bed and all. (Luca loves to cuddle right up). THen when they got home he ate no problem and the same with the night before. Which shows immediate bonding and trust on his part. He would always starve himself for a length of time when seperated from me. Not this time. And it took all of two minutes for him to accept the other 2 dogs. She took him to work with her yesterday where he was perfect at meeting tons of new faces.

She promises pictures later this week. I am so proud of how well he is adjusting and how good he is behaving. I am so glad I found someone who can see what an awsome dog he is.

Nicole, I'm so sorry. He is just stunning, what a prime example of the breed. I love the third photo. He's sounds like he's getting along fine. I know he'll be happy.

As painful as it is, I hope the fact Luca's relaxed, happy and adjusting perfectly helps ease your sadness. We'll all miss him too and look forward to more pictures. I hope 2009 is good to you, Nichole.
