Changes, changes and more changes

I knew that with this process to expect changes.  Some were going to be good and some were going to be bad.  Well the first bad change is happening. 

We are not going to be able to take Izzi with us.   As much as we would like to, it would not be fair to her seeing as how she has to be drugged just to DRIVE to Dallas.  Never mind a 26 hours flight and then be in quarantine for months.  So I started looking for a home.  I contacted the breeder we got her from, the Weimaraner Rescuse, and then I reached out to friends.  The last thing I wanted was to have to give her to a shelter....that was NOT an option.

Two days after starting to school, one of my teacher friends stops me in the hallway and says "I want your dog".  Oh ok, well we kinda like her, and then I realized what she meant ;)  She had Weims growing up and she wanted to take Izzi for us.  I could not be happier!  This family is such a sweet family with two kids that are just begging for a dog.  The situation could not be any more perfect. 

We have talked about Izzi going to visit for a weekend and seeing how things worked out, and then we would make it permanent.  Well last night it really hit me that Izzi would not be with us anymore and like the weanie I am, I cried and cried.  She is such a sweet animal and we are going to miss her like crazy. 

With all that being said, I know in my heart this is the best thing for her....and that is what is important. 

Sweet Izzi, we love you and you will always be in our hearts!!
