<div>Well after 11 days in our home, Buddy is starting to get the hang of how things go and now we are switching it up. Tomorrow evening he is taking an 8-hour roadtrip to his forever home in Northern California. The family he is headed to recently lost their 8 y/o hound to a sudden shampoo allergy and they are anxious to have a pack of 2 again. I am so excited that we've found him a home so quickly, but I am also sad to say goodbye to this sweet old grump. It would have been so easy for me to fail and keep him, but I know that ultimately this is what is best for both him and my own 2 houndies. </div>

<div>My friends just happened to be heading that way and I was able to convince them to let Buddy hitch a ride with them. I wish I could go too - to assure his safety, well-being and adjustment; but I can't and I know rescues do this all the time and that Buddy will be just fine. I just hope he doesn't think I'm abandoning him and that he knows he is on his way to a better life.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please keep your fingers and paws crossed that Buddy arrives safely up North and fits in well with his new family. They have not met him but I trust that he will easily adapt since he has quickly fallen into step with our home in such a short timeframe. </div>

<div>Sending drool to all,</div>
