lady has a new home. we just haven't told madelyn yet.matt took both dogs to the vet in the morning to get their shots up-to-date. when i told madelyn she said that she won't have the dogs any more when we move to our new house and started to whine/cry. (we started talking with her about the possibility of moving a few months ago when matt decided that he was going to start looking for a new job. it's a story for another post.)
given her reaction we decided that it would be better for her not to be home when his co-worker came to pick up lady a few hours later. we didn't want them to feel bad about taking lady. so madelyn and i walked down to the park just before they were set to arrive. they had just installed the new picnic table so we just sat there and talked for almost an hour! it was a beautiful afternoon and we just talked and watched the wind blow the fall leaves off the trees. it was so nice to have some quiet time with just madelyn. matt called when it was safe to head back home.
lady has a good new home but it is a little weird not to have her here any more. we still have maggie - for now. we haven't decided what to do with her but we are most likely going to find her a new home as well. it will be very, very hard to say good-bye to her. we have had her for 9 years and she was our first 'baby'. change is hard some times. love.

Wow! Where are you moving too? Why can't you take the dogs? I hope it isn't too close to your delivery date? Good luck selling the house -- if you decide to sell. I hope you have better luck than we did. Sorry about the dogs -- it would be really hard to get rid of your pets. I hope Madelyn adjusts okay.
Somehow I missed that you were moving and job changing??? Sorry you have to give up the dogs :( That is a lot of change all at once.
It's funny but even after all these years, I miss her and love her. I am so happy that you found her a new home and hope she doesn't wear out his welcome. That is a beautiful picture of her.
Reading this post made me sad, even though I am glad you won't have to take care of a extra pet along with kids and maybe moving. I hope Maddelyn will adjust. Nana
Aw, that had to be tough. I'm sure Maggie misses her, too. Where does Madelyn think Lady is right now?
