Cabot is with his forever family

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

It’s official, Little Joe (Cabot) is adopted. Phil and I met his forever family Saturday afternoon at a local park. Michael & Anna had kept it a secret from the kids. When the kids saw Phil and I walking Little Joe they ran up to ask if the could pet him. Little Joe was more than happy to shower kisses on the children and they loved petting Little Joe. Then Anna said to the kids, “Remember the surprise I mentioned?”. The kids nodded and she said, “This is it. Little Joe is our puppy”. You should have seen the looks on the children’s faces; you could have knocked them down with a feather. Then there squeals of delight when I handed the leash over. Little Joe and the children ran and played while the adults chatted. You could see that Little Joe was just as happy as the kids. When it was time for us to say goodbye Joe ran off with the kids and didn’t even look back.

The secrets are special ...... our first foster was kept a secret from the kids.  Dad drove from NY to OH to pick up Topper and the kids didn't know until he got back home!  Wish I could of been there.

Me too Dori, tears of joy here too.  Just read the story to FJ too!   Loved the setup and ending.  Little Joe may you run with those children until they go off to college. You are the puppy they will never forget.

That's how you know you made the right choice - and isn't it a lot easier to walk away when they don't even notice?
