You did a selfless thing in letting Holly go. Everybody will probably be alot happier. It would be nice if Scott would join the group and let all of us know first hand how she is doing.

I hope you warned him about birds of prey picking up little yorkies. Not everyone is aware of this happening. It always scares me when people say they have a fenced in yard because many people take it for granted that their dog will be safe behind and fence a don't watch them cause they don't think about intruders from the sky.

Holly had never been around a dog in her life and coming into a home with three was nearly impossible for her. My dogs are well adjusted and two have been raised since pups with me. Poor Holly was just so out of place here and was biting the other dogs if they came to close to her or me. She really adored me BUT in order to stay here she had to learn to cope with the other dogs for their safety and that just was not happening. After consulting my vet we figured after 2 months with no improvement that she would probably never really be suited for our family.

I placed an ad for Holly and talked to a dozen people, most with other dogs. The ones with dogs were a definate no...even though they didnt want to take no for an answer. I just felt she was suited ONLY for a single dog household.

I finally found the perfect couple. Scott called me and I could hear the same sort of excitement in him that I have for my babies. He has a lovely wife, gorgeous home and HUGE fenced in back yard. Well tonight I took Holly up there to stay permanently. As you can see in the pics Scott is tickled pink!! We even went shopping together for Holly tonight. His wife is working tonight but he wanted to have everything just right for Holly...spoil her too much...and wanted me to be a part of it. He is such an AWESOME person and Holly couldnt have found a nicer couple. I know she will love ALL the attention...although we both cried for each other as I drove off...luckily Scott and I will keep in close touch for a while and I will get email updates and can visit her anytime we would like.

So in the end it all worked out well for Holly and she truly has found her forever home!!

I'm sure you miss her but it must make you so happy to hear she is doing so well. She'll NEVER forget you either. Years ago my sisters used to take care of a dog and when she needed a new home, I found her one. About 5 years later, I was at their house and Christy really did remember me. I know that because they said she wasn't good with strangers and she was happy to see me.
