Auntie HuskerFan?! Now I am misty eyed!! ;-)
I am going to head over to get these little peanuts in about 30 minutes.
I WILL have an update later tonight! Stay tuned. And........the weirdest thing about this is that the place that BlueFox may move to just so happens to be 3 doors down from me! We just discovered that when I called her today. I think this whole thing was meant to be!

Thank goodness I have a REALLY understanding hubby because I just told him at 2:00 p.m. today that we were " puppy sitting" for 3 weeks. Yes, that was after I had already committed to BlueFox and the rest of the SoWal world!! But I knew I could sweet talk him and now he is just as excited as the rest of us. Who could say no to those 2 sweet faces??

I'm gettin' all misty.
me too! Ok.....
it's after 8:00. Are they there yet?

Well, it happened... we watched the sweet puppies off tonight. The only thing that made the hurt a little less was that they went to such a smiley person, that will most definetely take wonderful care of them until the next angel takes these littermates.
Thanks you guys... for all you did.
We are going to miss our friend Dennis so much. When starting new chapters in your life, there are so many emotions involved.
Scott and I really wanted the puppies to have a happy life and now we know they will.
Good stuff.
Peace and love always.

Sorry to be posting so late but we have been a little caught up in all the excitement!! BlueFox, don't doubt your decision for one minute...these 2 are cuter in person than they were in the pictures. I can't believe how sweet and well behaved they are. This is going to be an easy three weeks! I love them already!! My hubby is taking pictures as we speak and I may not get them posted tonight but tomorrow for sure. I really felt bad for everyone that was there to see the puppies off but I hope they know that the silver lining in this cloud is that they are going to be well cared for and loved every single day. Well, time to go see if 4 dogs can fit in one bed.....who am I kidding....we will sleep on the floor if there is not room for them!! :roll:

More than a little Fuzzy to me....or was it Grumpy...
We need to ask BB about October--she's the party planner. Haven't heard any dates yet. Some of the wenches will be there most of the month, I think. You know, you could wait until then to unpack....get us all liquored up and get it done in record time!

HA! Don't even joke! I'd so wait- hahaha- I am the slowest unpacker ever...
and the slowest packer... I better get on it!

Hey Guys, this is Dennis... the now former owner of Lola and Zepplin. First of all I want to see some pictures!
I want you all to know how thankful I am of these lovely ladies who are taking care of my dogs. I have really noticed a difference in the pups the last couple of weeks... they definitely knew that something was up (with all the moving and everything), but it was so cool tonight because you could tell that they were so happy to be around their new foster parent, Colleen. It really made things so much easier.
I have really been blown away by all the care and concern you all have shown. Thank you so much... really.
The very appreciative,
Dennis

One of SoWal.com's greatest success stories.
It looks like the forum has a couple of new mascots.
BF - a party is always better BEFORE you unpack. As long as your landlord is not reading this (fat chance
) your deposit might be safe.

Dennis, I am so glad this worked out. I truly did lose sleep worrying about what would happen to your babies. I can tell from Colleen's posts that she's a loving, caring person and I know that Blue Fox can't wait to get there for many reasons, but now she has two very important reasons to get there as fast as she can. Good luck to you.
Beach Lover
Well, we all made it throught the first night...no problems. We started out with everyone in the bed but fortunately my two decided they would be more comfortable on the couch so Lola and Zepplin got the whole king size to themselves! They are little cuddlers!
I am going to try to post some pics but I have to warn you, no one is real interested in sitting still for pictures right now so bear with me!
They both seem to be adjusting well...they have both eaten this morning and figured out where to go potty so I think it is blue skies from here!
Dennis...best of luck to you with your move and please don't hesitate to call me while I have them through the 20th. I promise you they will be just fine..here and with BlueFox.
More soon.......

I love this thread. What a wonderful network of friends Sowal is. BlueFox I think it's awesome that you have a fur family waiting for your arrival. To everyone there who jumped in to rescue these adorable pups, and the lurkers who jumped in with both paws, WELL DONE. We are lucky to have you.

Beach Lover
Anyone want to give me a real quick tutorial on posting pictures? I have them saved in my documents and I reduced the size to 25% but when I try to post them it says the size is still exceeding what is allowable. I have to run off to work now but hopefully I will get it figured out sometime today!

I'm a big fan of posting to photobucket.com- it's free. It also makes it easy by giving you the codes to place pictures directly in your posts
