Goodbye Snoopy :(

So I'm a little late in getting to this post.  Maybe because I was really sad to see Snoopy go.  Even though I was ready to get rid of him shortly after we got him!  With Shaun's new job and work schedule, it required me to go home every day for lunch.  Basically a lot of running for me.  And with Baby E coming in a couple months, we just didn't have the room (in the vehicle for 2 dogs, 2 adults, and a baby) nor the time to devote to him like we wanted.  So we made the heartbreaking decision to contact BBR and ask that he be placed in a new foster home.  At first, we thought he was going to a home about a half hour from us.  We were stoked with the thought of being able to visit.  But that fell through and then we found out he was headed all the way to Janesville......

So on Sunday, January 8 we got his letter (the 411 on Snoopy) typed up, his food, a few toys, some treats all ready to go, and headed to Portage to meet up with someone who was going to take him to Janesville.  I'll admit I bawled...like a baby.  I felt bad like I was abandoning Snoopy and I was so worried how he was going to adjust.  But I guess it's always harder on us than it is on them.  

The lady who transported Snoopy to Janesville was kind enough to e-mail me and update me that his new foster family almost instantly fell in love with him....might even be a foster failure?!?!?

Snoopy stayed with us for about 3 months and was quite the character!  He definitely left his paw print on our hearts!  Here's a few pics from his stay with us

Sharing so nicely

He was always such a cuddler and wanna-be-lap-dog

This week I received an update from his new foster family and sounds like Snoopy is adjusting very well!  They have a huge back yard so he can run like crazy!  And they also have a 15 year old who has been spoiling him by letting him sleep on her bed!!  They said Snoopy has been the best foster dog they've had!  Way to go Snoopy!

Hi babes miss you! I haven't seen you online lately so I am hoping that everything is ok. Losing Snoopy is bittersweet but I'm happy to hear that he is doing well with his new family :-)
