months with Eileen were full of fun and love.

- Hi Diana,
Life can be funny at times!
You may recall that the gal who was interested in meeting Chauncey
and I
have been having a heck of a time coordinating our schedules.
This was
fine as Chauncey has started on allergy shots and it gave us
time to get
him regulated.
Eileen had adopted a 14 year old golden with cancer from us last
year and
sadly Chelsea died from osteosarcoma around Christmas. Eileen
loves the
seniors, and especially those with special needs -- much like
myself!
Well, this past Saturday we were having a group of golden friends
and
their dogs over for a doggie swim party so I asked Eileen to
come here to
meet Chauncey and she could take him home for an overnight to
see how it
went with her dogs and cats.
Long story short when she got here she had read the info about
Red on the
web and asked me which dog (Chauncey or Red) would be less likely
to be
adopted. Of course I said Red because of all his issues. Well,
she fell in
love with Red and decided to take him home to see how things
went. She
called me on Sunday to say things were looking good and today
I had an
email from her saying she wanted to formally adopt him!
One of her dogs has seizure disorder and she has gone through
cognitive
disorder with another of her dogs (now at the Bridge). She felt
well
equipped to handle Red's problems.
She said Red fit in seamlessly with her gang and that he was
chasing a
ball and trying so hard to play with her dogs. He was doing that
here,
too, so I'm not surprised.
So...wonders never cease and there still are incredibly wonderful
humans
with hearts of gold who realize that goldens like Red are a true
gift!
Thank you again for bringing him to us! Because you cared he
is now
enjoying the rest of his life.
Best regards,
Helen and Bob
