Goodbye Wally!

During the biggest snowstorm of 2010 (yeah we got about 15 inches!), Shaun and I were sitting around the kitchen table.  He fiddling with his new bluetooth, me cutting out the stencil for Wally's I'm a Foster Dog, Ask About Adopting Me t-shirt.  When I received a call from an unknown number.

They were calling about Wally!

The lady said that they lost their 7 1/2 year old basset just a few weeks ago to a severe urinary tract infection that was misdiagnosed and wanted to adopt already!!  They are a retired couple who stays home all day and only leave for a few times a week for grocery trips, etc.  We talked for about 20 minutes.  She sounded very excited and wanted to pick up Wally ASAP!!  We scheduled to meet on December 14.  On Saturday night, I recorded a little video from Wally to his new forever home:



Between Saturday and Tuesday, she e-mailed me tons of questions about what he likes, what he eats, his habits, etc.  She said that they would be buying all NEW items for Wally and donating their old items to the humane society where they live.

While we were getting Wally ready he was getting uber cuddly with us.  He jumped up on Shaun's chest while Shaun was laying on my legs.

And Wally's last pictures with us before he left (and Sadie on the Queen's thrown):

We drove to meet them on Tuesday (in the bitter cold) and they were ready to take him!  No hesitation!  I'm so freakin' happy that Wally is finally going to be able to get the life he deserves!  I can't wait to see the pictures of him in his forever home.  We wish you the best of luck in your forever home!
