'Nelope and 'Nunia's big adventure

well, it is done...completed that is. P and P have been delivered safely into the loving arms of their New Mommy!
Never before have we had a New Mom come with such a great show of support!! Not only did Mom come, Grandma, Grandpa and a friend too!!! wow....that's a lot of love for two little Pug Princesses!!

Now, before I even get started...would you CHECK OUT the new wardrobe for the girls!!!????? This showing does not even include the cool embroidered harnesses with matching ID tags!!!

The trip went well, we started out in our van...met Aunt Amy at Southport...where the suggestion was made that perhaps Aunt Amy should do the driving to the meeting spot because well, frankly because I would be a basket case and potential road hazard driving home!!! The girls LOVED the Fido Rido car seat as you can see!! so very comfy!!!!!

Could they seriously BE ANY CUTER!!!!????? Not a care in the world, with no concept of the changes that lie ahead for them!!!!

Traveling in our van initally as previously stated, they snuggled on their bed ...and yes, that went with them to their new home. They have loved this bed since the first night in our home!!!

Snuggled together ..as always, they were happy to ride in the car. When we reached the meeting point, it was only a matter of a few minutes before their New Mommy arrived. She jumped out of her car....and came running toward the girls...who were running toward her! totally happy to see anyone that seemed to love them....they willingly went right up to her! Tangling their leashes we all laughed, got them untangled, and Petunia promptly decided to poop!!! GOOD GIRL we all said laughing!!!! Grandpa was taking pictures as was I, Aunt Amy had Petunia...and Geni Jo...new Mommy had Penelope!!!

Grandma took turns loving on each of them. They told us how Geni Jo's Co-workers had surprised her with a huge basket of toys and treats to welcome her little girls!! How cool is that??? Once we went over the Paperwork, contracts were signed, all instructions regarding foods, meds etc were explained...I felt my stomach tighten because I knew...here it was...the actual moment I had to let go. My voice breaking, I said...It's Time...I have to leave...Amy promptly agreed because well...number 1. she knows me well, and number 2. she has been thru this too. Everyone started to move about...Geni Jo reassured me, as did her Mom of what a great life they would give the girls...I reminded them...."I have no doubts letting them go to you...it is just very hard to say goodbye!"...Geni Jo handed me a card, and beautiful pot of Impatiens ...she thanked me for taking such good care of her girls... As I kissed the girls one last time...I told them I loved them ,and to make me proud...to be the good girls for their New Mommy that they were for me! I headed to the car and as I got in...made the mistake of looking back...Petunia was looking at me..."where are you going??" all over that little face....I looked the other way...started bawling like a baby...Amy comforting me...saying don't look back...don't look back...and I did not. I even held my hands to the side of my face to resist temptation of looking at them one last time.....I could not let myself...I just couldn't. As we drove away, with me crying....Amy commented on how nobody had ever shown up with a Car Seat, Wardrobe and so much family/friend support before to pick up their newly Adopted Pug...she reminded me that this home, these people, clearly...CLEARLY ...GET what we do and why we do it and we both agreed it will be tough to top this drop off!!! I am delighted that someone like Geni Jo will be the Mommy to my little ladybugs! They deserve a life of fun and love and without a doubt that is what they will have now. God Bless you Geni Jo...You thanked me...I should be Thanking YOU!!!!!!
