It only took three months to find Sunshine's forever home, but it was well worth the wait. Kismet played a hand in her adoption and I love it when things work out that way (hmm...Kismet might have been a good name for her too). I hadn't been taking Sunshine to curling nights because she seemed more comfortable at home but since people like to meet my fosters from time to time I decided to take her a couple of Thursdays ago. That's where it happened. A couple that curl in the league after me came off the ice and the husband saw Sunshine first and brought his wife over to meet her. It kinda seemed like love at first sight. Things moved quickly after that...application, home visit and meet and greet with the whole family showed me this was Sunshine's home. She has everything in this home that I would have hoped for her to have. She is comfortable with mom, dad and their daughter. They all have gentle, nurturing energy and Sunshine went to each of them very easily. She has a furry brother named Joey and a great yard to explore together. And, although it wasn't a requirement, it is definitely a bonus that she now has a very nicely warmed house with heated floors so she can run around inside toasty warm in winter without shirts and sweaters. I hear she has already found a nice sleeping spot near the back door where she can bask in the sun and look out over the yard.
Last time I checked she was keeping her name too!
She was with me 3 months and she was possibly the hardest foster to say goodbye to. It is all worthwhile knowing that she is in the right place with so much love. Good bye my little buddy...you may have been my smallest foster but you sure have a big impact on those you meet!

Bitter-sweet - but knowing she has her own fur-ever home is wonderful - and I gather you have another boarder already lined up!
