My foster dog Kermit was adopted yesterday! He went home with a very nice young couple, and I really think this will be his forever home. His new mom and dad lost their dog six months ago, and now that they're ready for a new pet, they've been anxiously looking online to find just the right dog. His mom said she saw Kermit online and realized he was the one, and she couldn't wait to meet him. His balance issues didn't scare them off, and they even have a cat with a similar problem! So thank you to this amazing couple who was willing to look past his issue and fall in love with him. I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Kermit wasn't here long, but we had some great times while he was here. Here are a few photos of some of my favorite memories of Kermit.
He loved to be outside. He would go out in the (slightly muddy) yard and gallop around in his silly Kermit gait, and then lie down by the fence and just watch everything going on in the world around him.
Mango would say he was meditating, I think.
He also drank a lot. Maybe it was all the meditating that made him thirsty, I'm not sure. But it seemed I was always refilling his water bowls (both inside and out), and he was always first in line to get some fresh cold water. He made Remi and the other dogs wait in line!
And then of course there was the slobber and Kermit Kisses. He would have been great at a doggie kissing booth, I think. You'll notice that I've learned to keep my mouth closed when being kissed by a dog. Its just better that way.
After Kermit left, I had about a five hour break before my next foster dog arrived. Her name is Riley, and she's a Jack Russell/Beagle mix. Its hard to tell from her picture, but she is very small. She's about a year old, and so sweet. Right now she's curled up at my feet, sleeping. And snoring. I think I am in love.
