Happy and Sad All at the Same Time

Today we got the wonderful news that one of the potential families for Fresco with whom we met over the weekend has been approved to adopt him! We're so happy, yet so sad at the same time! We feel great about the family, who has a big yellow lab named Riley who seemed to enjoy his wrestling match with Fresco during their visit. They also have two very active young boys with whom Fresco enjoyed galloping around the yard. He will be an inside member of the family, but they have tall fenced backyard so that Fresco will stay safely on their property when he goes out! I really think it's the perfect situation for him!

With that said, Chad and I are still very sad to see him go. He is such a loving and goofy guy who has brought such joy to our lives in so many ways. Although it will be nice to get back to being a two dog household, we'll still miss him so much. Thankfully, I think we'll have a better chance of getting regular updates because his new "mom" Kelly is an acquaintance of ours from high school. Better yet, Kelly recently started her own photography business, so there shouldn't be any shortage of pictures of Fresco with his new family!

Kim, we're all so excited about Fresco becoming a part of our family! The first thing Cody said this morning when he woke up was, "Is today the day we're getting Frecks-Co?" We'll definitely keep you updated with plenty of photos on the blog.
See you tomorrow!

Very bittersweet. Poor Hope (and us) will take some time to adjust.

You and Chad are so good with the dogs you foster. We will miss Fresco too, but it sounds like a perfect match. sa
