Stuart's adoption

This past Saturday, we were delighted to have Dan and Cheryl W. from Whitefish, Montana, adopt our deaf boy, Stuart the Beagle.  Dan and Cheryl had recently lost their elderly blind and deaf Beagle, Penny, and were looking for another special dog.  It turns out that just about the same time they contacted us initially about Stuart, they also heard about another Beagle in their area named Daisy who was looking for a new home.  They went to see her last week, fell in love, and took her home.  That's Daisy on the left.

Well, Dan and Cheryl thought Daisy would like to have a boyfriend, and they drove out to the ranch on Saturday so the entire family could meet Stuart.  Daisy took to Stuart just fine, and pretty soon both Beagles and their new Mom and Dad were headed home to Whitefish!

Dan emailed on Sunday to say that Stuart has settled in and Daisy had already bonded with him.  In fact, when they first put Stuart in a kennel next to their bed Saturday night, Daisy grew frantic.  She wanted Stuart on the bed with her and Dan and Cheryl.  So Dan and Cheryl relented, and both Beagles spent the night on their bed.  (I don't know how well Dan and Cheryl slept but I'm sure the two Beagles slept really, really well!)

And, Dan told us, Stuart had already given Daisy two complete head baths Saturday evening.  No wonder she likes that boy!

Thank you, Dan and Cheryl!

    That is so sweet! I love happy endings. I’ll bet it’s hard to let any of them go although you have to.
    I’m happy for Stuart and Daisy both.

    I’m curious- do you allow any animal at your ranch to be adopted? I ask because I’m wondering about animals such as Widget or Callie, who you seem especially attached to (and who make the best blog material :P).

    What a delightful story – and of course a delightful picture!! The part about Daisy getting Stuart into the loop made me laugh out loud. Thanks Daisy for bringing Stuart on board – or on bed, that is. 🙂 Dan and Cheryl look agile in their poses and I have no doubt these 2 fur kids will keep them that way. Blessings to the foursome and thanks RDR as always.
