![]() ![]() Patty has had Nick’s picture on her computer at work showing everyone her new puppy. His new family couldn’t have been happier. When we went back to the house, Nick had already made up mind that these were his people. (They actually lived in Henrietta about 2 blocks away from us for 20 years.) After a short get-acquainted time the humans went out for a fish fry (something they can’t get on Cape Cod - who knew?) They said that was one thing they missed after leaving Rochester. There was no question that they hit it right off. (Poor little guy!) Rick and Patty arrived Friday and came over to meet Nick. Nick left this morning for his new forever home on Cape Cod. They played noisily together all evening.Īs you can see, our little Chelsea has become quite the social butterfly. Dickens looks wonderful, and he and Chelsea immediately hit it off. Sunday evening our former foster, Dickens, came over with his family to have dinner and meet Chelsea. Very quickly Chelsea was walking around Clementine as if she were only a piece of furniture. ![]() She showed a healthy dose of hesitation, but no real fear or shyness. Clementine is the biggest dog that Chelsea has ever met, and she did beautifully meeting her. My guys know Clementine pretty well and are usually unfased by her at this point. Right now she is one flabby little girl! We made plans for Chelsea and me to go to their house on Friday and get her settled in with them.Īfter they left on Sat., a good friend of ours visited with her great dane, Clementine. Scott already has plans to put Chelsea on the treadmill at work so she can lose the last few extra pounds and tone up. Cheryl works in emergency and Scott works in physical therapy. Boy, do they want her!Ĭheryl and Scott are both vet techs in NY state. They were so focused on her that I don’t belive they would have noticed if a herd of stampeding buffalo passed by. Chelsea and I went out to greet them when they arrived, and I believe that it was love at first sight for all of them. morning we had a visit with Cheryl and Scott, who previously adopted another foster dog, Keeper. Please allow me to gush once again at how amazing Chelsea is: She’s wonderful! ![]() They are also owned by Tess, 14 Bailey, 2 and Cooper, 15 (at The Bridge). Note: Doro and John adopted Taz via Barb Cooke. We now have two sets of tickets for sale, to be posted on e-Bay tomorrow unless I hear from someone here who wants to buy them at a BIG discount … if they can bear to leave their Cavaliers. We changed our minds because Detroit in March wasn’t all that appealing (sorry, Detroiters, it’s a seasonal thing), because the airports are jammed with spring breakers, because John sadly didn’t expect much from Lehigh this year - and because John missed Taz! In a few minutes I’ll slip into bed, and Taz will follow me, settling into John’s right arm, which will remain wrapped around him till John falls asleep. We’re home now, and Taz is dozing at my feet. We reversed our route, arriving at the Vet’s shortly before they closed. So this morning we got up, dropped the dogs for boarding at the Vet, drove 90 minutes, stopped for lunch, drove to off-airport parking, parked our car, rode the shuttle to the airport, made our way (wheelchair and all) to the ticket counter, checked in, negotiated first-class upgrades - and at the last possible moment before proceeding to the gate, changed our minds. ![]() John has been doing this for the past 35 years or more. He books (and pays for) a hotel room ($22/night, via Hotwire) and car rental, orders our tickets ($150+), and eagerly awaits the passing of the year. Every year when we return, John, a Lehigh graduate and former collegiate wrestler, makes airline reservations for the following year’s trip. First, some background:Įvery year we fly to the national NCAA collegiate wrestling finals, held in a different mid-western city each year. What follows is the story of what happened today with one of those men. Often it is a Cavalier that changes this man’s mind about dogs in the house - and in his bed. Every now and then we hear of a Cavalier who has attached himself to a man who has been heard to insist, over the years:Īt some point thereafter, we hear that not only is there a dog in his house, but sooner or later, one in his BED. ![]()
