On Friday, Cristene and Duane J. from Idaho came out to the ranch to adopt our beautiful three-legged German Shepherd girl, Kasha. (You may recall Kasha had been adopted last year but that didn’t work out, so she’s been back at the ranch for several months.) Cristene actually grew up with a three-legged dog, and two of their current dogs are German Shepherds, so she felt a strong connection with Kasha. Cristene and Duane live in a restored 100-year old farmhouse on a 50-acre place with a lake, wetlands, forest and 3 acres of fenced lawn, so the dogs get to go swimming and obviously get plenty of exercise!
Cristene and Duane spent a lot of time with Kasha on Friday here, and decided she would be a good fit for their family. In addition to their two Shepherds, Lola and Asa, they also have a Golden Retriever named Jasper and a miniature Dachshund, Arnold, who is — true to Dachshund character — the boss of everybody. All of their dogs were rescued.
Cristene emailed us yesterday evening to say Kasha was doing great and adjusting well. She said, "Her happy, beautiful spirit will bring many smiles to our family and we thank you for that." However, Cristene added, "Jasper is not very happy because Kasha is faster than he is and beats him to the ball every time!"
I took these photos just before Cristene and Duane left for home with Kasha. They brought a ramp for Kasha to use to climb into the back of their SUV, and Kasha zoomed right up and settled in for the drive to Idaho:
Thank you, Cristene and Duane, for giving Kasha such a wonderful new home and family to call her own!
