"Are you my Mommy?"
Hubby and I had a very serious discussion about Bess II a few nights
ago. Very serious. Could we manage a 3-dog household? Would Zeke
and Sum welcome a new sibling? Is it the right decision for us?
The answer to each question, sadly, was no.
The problem is that my heart has been short-circuiting my head for
the past 9 weeks. Logic and reason? Huh? I'm too busy with the
cuteness over here.
I was very sad about our decision, even though I knew that it's
the right one. I dreamed sad dreams about the Frankenpuppies.
Then, something wonderful happened.
My new client Lili decided that she wanted Bess!
I almost fell out of my chair when I got her e-mail - it was just
too perfect! She works from home, she has a silly adult
dog named Buster, she's caring and very sweet....it's a match
made in heaven! I was, and am, thrilled.
I wanted to be there when she met Bess for the first time (yes,
she made the decision based on my description and a few
photos....yes, Buster should have met Bess first, but life ain't
perfect!), so I picked Bess up from Frankenpuppy Manor and
drove to our rendezvous area.
I'll admit that I picked her up early so I could spend some time with
her before saying good-bye.
We went to the local doggie boutique and had a blast:
New collar - itchy!
I took her to CVS and a pizza joint in this bag:
Everybody asked about her. "What is she? How old? So
cute!" It made me want her even more.
Then it was time for the hand-off. Lili fell in love immediately,
and I'd say that Bess took to her new Mom right away:
I'm really thrilled that Bess found such a great home, and I'm
happy that I'll get to see her for the next few weeks while I work
with Buster. And hopefully beyond. I'll be the doting Auntie!
Here's one last video tribute:

I'm sure it was a difficult decision for you and dear hubby. But, at least you know the family and know that Bess will be happy and loved there. Will Bess still be called Bess?

Things always work out. Maybe it's for the best.
