Two in a Week
For the second time in almost exactly a week, we said good-bye to another one of our foster pups. This time, it was Kingston's turn to find a forever home. Lab Rescue called me on Friday. "Retired Bob and Scientist Cathy" came this afternoon.
I had some big reservations about their use of an electric fence, so we discussed that at length. That issue aside, it was easy to see that they are kind people who were so excited about Kingston and brought him toys and treats. Their black lab, Diesel, seemed to like Kingston too. So, after about an hour of talking and getting to know each other, I let Kingston go. He never looked back when he jumped into the back of their car. He rested his head on their dogs back and he was smiling and wagging his tail when I said good-bye. My only regret, I didn't get any pictures. But I won't soon forget him. We were crazy about Kingston, and more than anything, I so hope he is happy and safe in his forever home.

A new home, with parents that will love him so much. Kingston, and Diesel for company and friendship, hoping for happiness together always.
ReplyDeleteWe're sure Kingston will enjoy his new home. So sad to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteAww, glad a forever home has been found for Kingston. Your strength in letting them go amazes me, don't think I could do it :)
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I shall miss seeing photos of this beautiful boy - to me he was the most handsome Lab. of them all. I'm so glad that he has the chance to live in a forever home with Diesel as a companion, and trust he'll keep well and happy.

Hopefully you talked them into rethinking the electric fence. I am NOT a fan either. Have a wonderful life, Kingston. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt must be such a bitter sweet event when one of your fosters finds their forever home. We hope you get an update to find Kingston is doing well in his new home.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he didn't look back to thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt must be quiet in there. Sorry about the pictures, maybe they will send you updates.
ReplyDeleteOh, I will miss dear Kingston. It seems as if he just arrived. I'm wishing him all the very best and much happiness in his new home.
ReplyDeleteKingston is adorable, I'm so glad he now has a forever home. I have read several posts and was shocked at the injuries Todd had. I'm glad he is doing well. As always it is great to catch up with you and the dogs.
ReplyDeleteIt speaks well of a foster's future when you are sorry to see them leave. We wish Kingston all the best in his new home. Maybe he will come back for a visit now and then.

He knew he was going home, didn't he! How lovely, though you will miss him x
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will miss him but it seems as though he knew he was going to a good home! I really hope they keep you updated so you know he is safe and happy!
ReplyDeleteOh I am glad he has found his forever home and I am sure he will be very happy xx
ReplyDeleteI love all dogs but one of my favorites ever was a yellow lab so I have a huge soft spot for them. (Isaac was a GOOD DOG.) I'm sure his new home will be lovely, but of course you will miss him. How could you not?
ReplyDeleteI remember when my puppies left with their new families, they looked so happy and I cried for hours.
ReplyDeleteA smile says more than any words!
