SIGNED UP
We are in the process with adopting an older Airedale.
The focus changed from Phoenix to a coordinator in Las Vegas (actually closer) who we will work with.
We have sent in a rather exhaustive questionnaire and email "talked" with the coordinator. Also a phone call. We like her a lot.
She just got a five year old "Aire boy" whose owner died recently. He is from Reno. She seems to be asking if that is what we are looking for.
I gave an unequivocal "yes". Short of his medical workup which he is to get soon and a picture, he sounds just right.
There could also be other dogs at other coordinators (also foster parents) in the Southwest.
We have talked to some family and friends about it and we have nothing but encouragement.
I even talked to Franklin's vet this morning to give him a heads up that they would call him as a reference.
It is two weeks today that he has been gone. Time moves quickly but the grieving does not. Nor should it.
The advent of a new dog adds color and excitement to the current scene but it in no way erases or fills the hole left by our beautiful boy.
