Remember this gorgeous guy, Miles?

I had some news today: Miles has a new home!

Miles is with his new family as of Sunday. They own their home, with dog door and independent access to inside and outside as he wants, a nice big backyard and an active family accustomed to walking dogs each day. They lost their 14 year old dog last year and it has taken them sometime to be ready for another dog. When they were, Miles was the first dog they met and they laughed in delight on meeting him. {How awesome is that?!} Best of all – he has made the dream of a 10 year old kid come true. On meeting the family he, fell at the child’s feet rolling in pleasure! It was love at first site for both of them. 

While for us this is a week of deep sadness and grief, I have no words to describe letting him go or continually having to remember he is no longer living with us. I miss him every minute and keep hearing a phantom jingle of his collar! Our grief is greatly eased knowing he is with a lovely family so delighted to have him – finding such joy is his wonderful nature – and a kid he had an instant and warm response to. 

Big hugs to his first family and happy new family Miles. What a happy ending for this fuzzy love.
