This is a very happy ending we've been keeping under wraps for a while — and today we're thrilled to report the news! The day after I posted Snuggles' arrival on the blog, I received an email from Ellen M., a long-time supporter of the ranch who happens to be a veterinary internal medicine specialist in Colorado. Ellen had lost her old Cocker a few months ago and wanted to know if she could adopt Snuggles!
As you can imagine, we were thrilled at the idea of Ellen adopting Snuggles — wow. That took us about a nano-second to say "Yes!" So why the delay in announcing it? Well, we wanted Gale Lang of TLC Pet Transport to take Snuggles out to Colorado for us, and the soonest she could get here was today. Shortly before 8 this morning, Snuggles left for her new home in the Rockies. (Seems like we keep sending animals back out west. Hmm.) Snuggles was with us for just under a month.
Ellen is in private practice now but was on the faculty of the Colorado State Unversity College of Veterinary Medicine for a decade, and two of her students then were … Brenda and Britt Culver, who had been our fabulous veterinary team in Helena for the past ten years! Small world, huh?
As it turned out, Gale also brought us another disabled animal — just as cute and adorable as Snuggles. But, we're going to keep that arrival under wraps until the next blog post for Wednesday!
Ellen, thank you so much for adopting this wonderful little girl!
