I really don't have a title for this one...

We just got a phone call that Sierra has been adopted...I'm feeling relieved that she has a permanent home now and absolutely sad that her home is not with us anymore...

For those who don't know, Chris and Kate are allergic to dogs. Chris is only slightly allergic but Kate is severely allergic. So much so that it was suggested that we find new homes for our two pups...heartbreaking. Her health is way more important...that goes without saying but it was still a hard blow nonetheless. We soon will be down to fish and hermit crabs since Chris is severely allergic to cats.

Anyway, Dakota found a home quickly with friends of ours who live a little way out of town and have quite a bit of land for him to just run! He is so extremely happy and has fit into their family seamlessly! It has been truly great knowing that he is happy and they are happy!

Sierra proved to be more difficult. She is 7 and people just weren't looking for a dog right now so we gave ourselves the deadline of our Disney trip to find a home for her or we were going to have to put her into a foster home and that is indeed what we ended up doing. We have been in contact with the people she was placed through and the call we got tonight told us that she has been adopted by a very nice man and his 5 children...the perfect place for Sierra to be! :) I'm just very sad that it's not my kids she's with but I know she will be happy and I know they will take care of her.

I'm just thankful for programs like this...I now can rest easier knowing for sure that Sierra is in a good home...

Until next time!
