Its been nearly four weeks since Vincent came to farm and today he left for his forever home. It was difficult to watch him drive away in his new mom's arms, but it was also right. The family called when they got home and said how much they loved Vincent and he was resting comfortably in his new basket dog bed. He'd eaten several treats on the ride home.
Vincent was one of those dogs who really tugged at my heart strings. His story, his shyness, his progress and his love made him irresistible. Brent and I discussed adopting Vincent and keeping him as our forever dog, but it was simply too soon after Gizmo's death.
We weren't ready as a family. Brent and I decided that Vincent helped us more than we helped him through a rough transition. We'd just lost our Gizmo and here came this little vulnerable, fragile, fractured little pup who needed a sanctuary.
It was a tough decision to take him in, but we thought Gizmo would want us to help another shy guy come to life. With our little chocolate dude in mind we brought Vincent into our home and watched him blossom. It was amazing.
Happy tails in your forever home Vincent. We miss you too.
