I expected she'd go fast--she's a 6-month-old lab, for God's sake--but what I didn't know was that she'd find such an awesome adopter.
Rose works from home and wants a cuddly companion to be near her all day. She is looking forward to taking Collette
for daily runs and photography sessions along the beach, and play
sessions with her mom's super friendly dogs. She's already bought out the pet store with all sorts of toys and treats and a perfect little purple harness, and signed up for positive training classes so Collette can hit the ground running in her new home.
We hardly had a chance to get attached to her, though we did have time to love her up,
get her wet,
take her hiking,
give her some really high-quality food,
Have fun Collette! You'll have to write and tell us about all your amazing adventures.
Congratulations, Collette. What a wonderful new adventure along with lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you have a long wonderful life in your loving forever home Collette!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new home, Collette!
ReplyDeleteI bet it feels kind of nice to have a short-term foster and a happy ending so quickly. I know you've had some long termers! :)
Hi Kirsten, that's really good news. It sounds as though Collette is off to a really good home. Bye sweetie.

Well done! As with all your fosters finding homes, I feel very happy and also a little sad that they'll be gone from your blog and our lives. She was a cutie. Have a great life, Collette! MWAH! x
ReplyDeleteaw, congrats! i wish all my fosters found such an amazing home!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful Kirsten!! I feel like I didn't know Collette the way I knew Sandy so I'm not crying this time. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd here's the best reason to get behind in blog reading: So that after a weekend of being exposed to stories about war and people who lose their lives to them I get to see some good news early in the morning. Yay!
ReplyDeleteColette's new home sounds terrific. Thanks for giving her such a good start.
Congratulations! You gave her quite the life in her short time with you and it does sound like she has landed a great home!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem labs do better in homes with people who work from home. My first lab, she lives with my ex, was in a home with my ex who works from home and me who was unemployed. She was the best behaved dog I have ever had. My puppy now, a lab/catahoula leopard mix, would definitely be a happier dog if in a home of at least one non-working parent (I am the sole caregiver and work outside of the home). The process of training is much harder this time around.
