Welp. 

Mr. Wiggles was officially adopted.

I'm so happy for him!

And I'm also sad.

It was a lot of work having 4 dogs.

And getting him used to being a dog...it's a lot to juggle. And he was the bestest boy!

Saturday was his home visit/meet and greet with a family with 4 little kids.

They seemed like a completely normal family.

They are familiar with the breed and the mom grew up with them and they had one who past away a couple of years ago at the ripe old age of 16.

I knew he'd be loved.

They had a fenced-in backyard, which is ideal for him. 

I cried because he was confused - of course. And crawled into my lap for security.

One of the little boys brought over his blanket for him and covered him up. 😭 Like come on.

They loved him immediately.

As they were filling out the contract and all that, I got so sad.

He was looking at me and going to the front door, like "ok, I'm ready to go!"

I chatted with him as I sat on the floor and told him that he was going to have the best life. 

That they loved him so much already. 

I cried as we finished up the paperwork.

And then I had to basically run out of their house so I didn't break down in front of their kids. Lol. 

What a mess.

I texted the mom later that evening to check in.

I think he will be very happy there!

That doesn't mean I won't miss him.

It's super quiet in the house now, funny as that might sound.

He used to yell at me while I was prepping their food bowls, his chatter, and whining. 

And that corner of our foyer that he occupied...now an empty space. 

But now I have room for another foster. 

It might be a while though, as I start my new job (yeah, more on that later!) and settle in.
