[leslie]

I just now got an email from Sara's friend Tina who live's in Colorado and has found a home for Peach there in CO.! Now the trick is getting her there! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Thanks to everyone here for their PT prayers and good wishes! It worked again!!! I am tearing up!!!

Well good! Please see if she can join here when she gets Peach so we may have an update with pics. I am so glad that Peach has a home!

Hello everyone!

Peach is adapting to her new home. She has some children to play with, and enjoys rides in the family car. I am convinced her new owners will take very good care of her.

Now the grieving must be faced. I had quite a bit of time to express heartfelt love to Peach and to say goodbye. She felt my sadness and seemed to understand a little of what was happening.

I can't really bear to feel the full extent of my grief. That will have to wait until I am stronger to be able to carry it. But the fact that Peach has a loving home helps more than words can express.

Thank you all for your extraordinary support and help!!! I would not have kept going doggedly (haha) as I did without your encouragement. My love to you all, and to your canine companions as well!

love,
Sara
and Peach

Having had to give up the best dog in the world, I know how difficult it is. My ex & I broke up, & he had the dog. I wanted to take him, but couldn't because my landlord doesn't allow dogs. My ex eventually gave him away. Fortunately, it was to a loving family. I know because I tracked them down. However, that was back in February, & I miss & think of him every day. He was my puddin' pie. When I saw your Peach, she reminded me of him with those beautiful soft brown eyes. I'm sure she's going to do fabulously well with her new family.

I'm so happy Peach got a good home...she deserves one. It must be terribly hard giving her up Sara, but always keep in your heart the good times you had together. Hopefully her new family will keep in contact with you? Maybe send you pictures? Hope so! Jan

Sara, glad Peach is doing ok. I hope you might be able to visit her or at least get pics. I hope you're doing well.

oh sara! I am so glad for peach and you! I know that Peach is YOUR baby... but at least she didn't go to outdoor pen or the humane society. When I moved to MA., I fully intended on getting my dog back after a one year period (let my ex keep her for one year while I settled) but by then, Amber was settled herself and fine with my ex's parents, quite happy and living the high heaven that I, as a student and working knew i couldn't provide her. She lived her long life happily with 2 owners and didn't seem to mind (just me!) We have to remind ourselves that THEY are happy. It would be nice if you could visit her, is that possible? Again, I am so glad that she is ok and in a home, that is what counts!

Peach's new owner has promised pictures. I can't wait!

I'm not visiting Peach at her new home because her new owner is worried that that would confuse Peach. I want to respect her wishes. My beautiful dog will fit in and grow to love her new family greatly, I am sure. Peach has lots of love to give, and takes to people quickly, and in a deep way.

I like the image the vet technician gave me; she said she saw Peach riding around town in the owner's truck, sitting in the front passenger seat and looking happy, with her head up high. That's my dog!

Well that is just great! I hope they send some pics via digital (can you ask?) as I am sure many of us on pet talk would love to see her in her new environs! Hope you are sleeping well with this! Have yet to see what is happening with Cora! Take care- You DID GOOD!!

[Sara Manasseh]

thanks! I would have been hard pressed to have gotten the job done without help from you and PT...
