My Splash girl is going "home".......

[Logan]

Thank you all for understanding. Splash and I had a good cuddle session on the couch tonight, for the first time. She just crawled right up there with me and put her sweet head on my shoulder. Oh my goodness . I just hugged her and cried. I know she will be fine. I have talked with her new mom on the phone, and she is so excited about having her..........it is just hard. I keep asking myself if I will do this again, and the answer is actually "yes", I will, hard as it is. It is a worthwhile thing to help acclimate these babies to a real, loving home, and prepare them for life with loving people. Keep reminding me of this on Thursday when I take her to start her journey.

I'm sending cyber hugs to you, Logan. And thank you for taking him in and fostering him. It's people like you that make this world a better place.

Thank's for giving her the most wonderful foster home imaginable, Logan! I'm sure Splash came to love her foster family very much. But what a wonderful thing that another family has opened up their hearts to this beautiful girl! I'm sure you'll miss her a lot. But hopefully you'll hear lots of happy updates over the coming months! God's speed, sweet, sweet Splash!!!

I know it is best, but I sure am sad.

Logan, I can understand, I would be a wreck!

But what a happy ending to this story - she is on her way to a new forever home!

Good luck to Splash!

I received this picture by email this week while I was away. Splash and Polly were in route to their new homes, and this was taken along the way. I have heard from Splash's new mom that she is doing wonderfully and living up to her name, splashing in any available water!!!! You don't know how much better that makes me feel! She romps with her new sister, Amy, a border collie mix, and Bonnie said it makes her tired to watch how hard they play.

Such a sweet picture! I can see where it would be hard to let them go. I really don't think that we could let Abby go to another home no matter what! They look so sweet when they are sleeping They are doing much better together. Abby treats Buddy like he is a pillow or a stool - told her to "sit" and she sat right down on Buddy's head! She also tried to stand on him while he was laying down so she could see better!

Oh, Mollie, that is the BEST news ever!!!!

As usual I came in late to a topic!!
I hope you are doing better Logan, I am sure with all the excitement you have had, you are. Splash sounds like a wonderful girl. You are a saint fostering furbabes. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Somehow I missed this post as well. I really enjoyed seeing another picture of Splash and from the looks of her face she was enjoying her trip. What good people you all are who took part in the rehoming of a very special girl. Congratulations to you Logan and Helen and Lily and Honey on a very successfull first foster. Hopefully you will be able to do this again and again.

What a great update! Star was especially thrilled to learn that her water loving Retriever soul mate found such a great home, with lots of opportunities for a "splash!!" I hope Polly's new home is just as special! They are GORGEOUS dogs!!

I missed this post when I was in Alabama for a week, and by now Splash is probably in her new home. I know she will have a great family. She is a sweetheart and Andrew and I will never forget Splash and they way she drug Roxey by her leash around your living room

I know how difficult it was to see her go. I am still missing Roxey and cry sometimes. She was with me for almost 2 months and totally stole my heart.

Thanks to you, Logan, another successful rescue story!!!

Sorry I haven't written . Beginning of school is a busy time usually .
Splash is doing well. I think she is getting taller. She seems to be able to reach the table and certain counters with head easily. Her and Amy(my other dog) play well together. I never thought I would find a companion for Amy that would wear her out but Splash can do that. She is full of energy! I have discovered that she must like or attempt to play with toads. I have found several of dead ones in the back yard. I think she plays with them because the toads are never chewed.
She likes to ride in the car. She loves to go for walks. I can tell she must not have been exposed to a lot of different everyday things and people. When i walk her with Amy , we live on a dirt road where kids are riding bikes and she is a little afraid of them but she is getting better and used to them.
When we are walking the kids in the neighborhood always ask to pet the dogs and she is getting very good at sitting on command and letting the kids pet her and she doesn't jump on them. Since is face is right up to theors sometimes. She does like attention but just the "pet me pet me" kind. She will sit to be petted and sit right across the room to follow you to be petted. Kind of funny to watch her do this.
I have attacched some pictures of her hopefully you can see them. I don't know why they would not come out . I have taken them with a digital camera. Computers can be so touchy! Let me know if you can view them.

(from me, I'll try and post the pictures a little later). Logan
