I haven't heard anything else, yet, but I do hope Gracie will come. Honey and Lilly hope so, too, so that Gracie can be tormented by Mack, instead of them! Ha Ha!!!

Tonya, as Rachel said, I haven't always had Goldens. I had "Chuck", a yellow Lab, when I was married before. Then came Kaycee, Cocker Spaniel, who always reminded me of your darling Cocker, whose name has escaped me at the moment. Honey was our first Golden Retriever, then 5 months later, Lilly came. Then Scott and I got married and I got precious Murphy, a yellow Lab, then we adopted Zipper (who we were fostering), and was a Golden Retriever. He never left until he departed for the Rainbow Bridge in May of this year. And of course, there is now 5 1/2 month old Mack, who is an English Bulldog puppy. So Gracie will fit right in, at least for a little while. I'm not allowed to even consider keeping her.

Will keep you all posted.

She's coming on Wednesday night!!!

I can't wait to meet Gracie!!!! I hope that Mack, Lilly and Honey feel the same way! I sort of know how Butter will feel, but we will take extra good care of him.

Oh how exciting! I'm so glad you were able to help out, and what fun it will be!

Do I sense another failed foster home?

Then came Kaycee, Cocker Spaniel, who always reminded me of your darling Cocker, whose name has escaped me at the moment.

Well, not sure why I had you associated with setters... sounds like you are retrievers to the core lol... with exceptions to Kaycee (but K'Cee's are always exceptions in my experience ) and cutie-poo Mack, of course! (Although, I'm sure his sisters will turn him into an honorary member of the GR club in due time.)

Can't wait to see pics of Miss Gracie!

[Logan]

Butterscotch! I knew that! Something made me want to say "Buttercup", which is Scott's nickname for our cat and I knew it wasn't right. I'm so sorry I forgot that name, Tonya. I've always remembered the beautiful picture you posted and I think was also the "Dog of the Day" picture at some point.

I'll keep you all posted about Gracie.

I totally missed this Logan!
Doh!
after my short term involvement with a dalmation the other its just a drop in the bucket to this!
I am in tears reading the story - course it doesn't help that I'm watching Animal Miracles and the first story is of a Rottie named Cesar that was killed in the line of duty.

{hugs} to all of you!

Gracie is at the vet now, being spayed, getting her annual shots and her microchip. She was scared of the traffic on the road in front of the vet's office, and to tell you the truth, I was too! It is WAY too close to the road.

The family who is adopting Gracie has an older Golden, whose name I think is Barclay. They adopted "Princess" from our rescue last year, and she is about 2-3 years old they think, and very playful, and drives their older dog crazy. Princess is now "Guinness". They had already fallen in love with Gracie based on a description they got of her from one of their friends, who oddly enough, happened to jog by me one day, last week, when I was walking Gracie. It just all worked out, perfectly. They inquired about her on Friday, and then came to meet her, yesterday. They are going to be very happy with this beautiful, 55 pound, active girl, and I imagine, that Barclay is going to be happy, too, because he will get some peace!

I'll check in tonight or tomorrow and let you know how she is doing.

Just a prayer and thought for Gracie's well-being right now. All these things done for her long term health, but it still makes us a bit nervous, doesn't it. Okay, more than a bit!

[lizbud]

Well, it's finally going to happen. Gracie's forever home. Prayers and
best wishes for this sweetheart to have a good surgery & uneventful
recovery.

Logan,

Most of the rescues I work with would KILL to have Goldens. Let me know and I will see who has people to adopt them....

Oh Wednesday is almost here!!!
I wish I could foster, but it would be very hard to do it long term.
Sierra will only allow Females in her yard/house and Buddy isn't too happy to let anyone in his house/yard unless the dog is totally unfazed by Buddy's barking at them. (As you can tell, I've tried and the only dog that was allowed in was a laid back male black lab named Jake that couldn't have given a hoot less about Buddy's "threats" )

I can't wait for pics of her and your furkids!
I'm sure Honey and Lilly will be the happiest!!

[Logan]

I'm leaving in one hour to go get Gracie......sure hope my household is ready for her! Ha ha! She will be here, regardless!!!
