Well, that was fast! Last week one of our supporters, Kathleen R., asked if she could adopt Little Miss Roo after seeing her on the blog. Last year Kathleen had asked about adopting Dexter, but we had decided early on that he was a "keeper." Our original intention was to hold on to Roo for a while, get a wheelchair for her, and then think about adopting her out later — if we could bring ourselves to let her go at that point! But when Kathleen emailed us about Roo, and we realized Kathleen was right here in New Hampshire, just a few hours away in Nashua, we figured this was meant to be. (Although rumor has it that Dexter secretly emailed Kathleen and "suggested" she consider adopting Roo … and quickly. Dexter vehemently denies it.)
So Kathleen came up on Friday afternoon to meet Roo, who greeted her new Mom with lots of little kisses.
Kathleen will pick up where we left off in getting Roo's wheelchair made and fitted for her. (We had already been in touch with the folks at Doggon' Wheels.)
As you can see from the photos, Dexter came out to say good-bye, and in this shot he clearly appears to be giving Roo a farewell kiss:
But he denies that, too. He says there was a fly on Kathleen's shirt he was trying to get.
In any case, we were delighted that Roo was going to such a wonderful home, where she will be doted on around the clock. Thank you, Kathleen!
(Dachshund chorus: "Woo-hoo! Thank YOU, Kathleen!")

Also on Friday, our new Web designer, Amy Austin from Littleton, NH, came out to meet us and the animals for the first time, along with her colleague Kim. Kim's girls kindly made some very tasty and creative dog cookies for the gang here:
They were a hit when I handed them out Friday night at bed time!
