Well, we did it. We said goodbye to Panda and sent her with her new owner. He drove down on Saturday from Idaho to pick her up. An elderly gentleman had just lost his poodle, who passed away recently, and wanted another little companion doggie. Since it sounded like a situation where Panda would get lots of attention and love, we decided this sounded like a good place.
It was the right thing to do, but that sure hasn't made it easy. We are grieving pretty deeply. Thank you, everyone, for trying to help us find a good home for Panda. We'd appreciate your continued prayers that Panda will adjust quickly and be happy in her new home. If she's happy, we will be at peace about this. I know it sounds silly for two adults to grieve so much over an animal, but Panda was our baby for many years and helped us through some really hard times. So it's been tough.
But at least Bethany is safe and we don't have to worry so much about keeping them apart all of the time. Thank you, Panda, for everything you've been to us for so many years. We hope and pray you'll bring comfort to Dave and get lots and lots of love in return.

I meant to ask you about Panda on Sunday. I am glad you found a home for her and hope that things will work out for everyone. I have pondered finding a new home for Tracker at times just because of the mischief he makes but if it came down to it I would probably only be able to do it if my child's safety were at stake because he is part of our family as well so I can imagine how you are feeling right now.
BTW - You did a great job facilitating for the adoption panel - you crack me up. I thought we had such a good turnout so kudos to you and your committee.
