Bucky's New Life

The three month waiting period is (finally) over and I spoke to Bucky's new dad, Mark.

Bucky is a lucky dog!

His new dad thinks he is "absolutely wonderful - smart, well behaved and very affectionate."

He said he and Bucky bonded quickly - with Bucky by his side 24/7.




Bucky gets lots of exercise walking about an hour a day. He loves to run full tilt in the parks with his new friends. (Bucky always loved to be chased.)

Bucky also has a swimming pool! He must be thrilled - as he LOVES to swim.

 And Bucky has a new girlfriend. (How could anyone resist him?)

His girlfriend lives about a quarter mile away, is mixed breed (sort of like a whippet or small greyhound) and is about half his size. That little Bucky..... I sure hope he shares sticks and toys with her. However, I have no illusions that he would share treats with her.

I have sent Mark the link to the blog. Hopefully he will enjoy seeing Bucky's adventures with us during his first year.

HINT: Hopefully Mark will take lots of photos and send updates of their adventures together....

FEELING: Happy and relieved that Bucky is well loved and appreciated. 

Three Months

The clock has been ticking. Waiting requires p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e. It is a virtue that I have to work hard on. But having said that, I don't think I am alone with that struggle.

Two weeks ago I sent an email inquiring about Bucky and when we could have contact with his new Forever Person/Family. I wanted to be ready at the gate.

I was told I need to wait until the full 3 months had elapsed. I was given good news though, that Bucky's family wanted to have contact with us. YEAH!

Today is exactly 3 months!

I have just fired off an email requesting what the next steps are.

P-a-t-i-e-n-c-e.
