The Littlest Hobo

I am sitting now in a three dog house and it's pretty quiet. I put that down to the walk we just went on but there is also the fact of the missing dog. Halo is a bare half hour along her 16 hour journey to her new Quebec home. Just before Pia arrived with her friend Judy we kept a watch out the window. She was patient and never took her eyes from the driveway. A few minutes of waiting and there was the car, she was so excited!We went for our final walk in the woods together so she'd be tired and relaxed for the drive. Here is Pia and Halo together, the start of a beautiful friendship.
She was her usual captivating self and made friends with Pia and Judy quite easily. Like I expected anything different!I was careful to explain how special Halo is and that lots of photos and updates would be important so every one of Halo's fans would know she was doing okay. Here she is with her two boys on this fine crisp fall day ... some day soon we will meet again.

I enjoy reading your blog, following you from Calgary to the maritimes.

I breed and raise Pembroke Welsh Corgis and well know the guilty feeling of placing one of our older dogs in a home.

But what could be better for them, the sole dog, Queen or King of their home with all the love to themselves.

And as show breeders we have to ultimately let our older dogs go to make room for new dogs in our show/breeding program.

But it will never get easy so today I feel for you.

Bye Halo - happy travels! Quebec is amazing. And I know Tamzin found the place where you are meant to be.
