Houdini's New Home

With a giant lump in my throat Houdini 

went to a rescue this am.

Because of the dog issues, 

(mine versus the magician),

 I was able to sleep a mere 2 hours 

and I could not face the dilemma

another 24 hours.

Before you tsk-tsk, let me tell

you the good news. After a 72 hour hold he is eligible

 for adoption and my friend wants to be 

the first in line and has already told them so, 

and they have her name registered

as first right of refusal. 

This way the owners can easily find him

 if they look, I am assured 

that I did everything I could, 

and he will have a great new home.

She loves the breed, has

2 now, and recently lost a beloved 3rd

after a long illness.

Still, I had some teary moments letting him go,

hoping I did the right thing.

At least he was out of the rain and cold last night.

It was me suffering, lying on the concrete garage floor 

on a thin little rug so he would feel safe curled up 

next to me in his soft cushy bed.

My two pooches did not sleep all night either.

I am still glad I took him in, and 

would do it again for another.

All that barking in the neighborhood

 last night was the doggie telegraph system

putting out the word - ruff ruff GO HERE ruff ruff

she loves us...she's a sucker good friend.

:D
