Life at Golden Pines: Full Pace Forward!

Right here we’re in December…. Already. One other busy week is in our historical past e-book. 

As I discussed in my final publish, there was numerous give attention to Iva these days. She stays accessible for adoption by way of the rescue. However  there hasn’t been numerous curiosity in her. One purpose might be her age. One other is that her wants are particular. However in any case these years, I do know that generally the house that does not look good from the surface, is ideal on the within. 

~Iva in late October~

Conserving that in thoughts, I would gotten a name from a pair dwelling in “King George” Virginia, simply over 2 hours from me. I preferred them, and although some issues of their house go to report made them not a match for Iva, I used to be keen to fulfill them. And I believed that Iva’s finest likelihood can be to take her to them, to see in the event that they have been a match in any case.  Okay, so you could also be questioning, why they weren’t a match on paper… It was that they’ve steps – Iva’s damaged shoulder earlier than she got here into the rescue implies that she has restricted vary of movement and he or she has issue going up stairs, and may’t management her velocity coming down them. Considering forward, her dimension additionally makes going up and down stairs troublesome if she have been to reinjure her shoulder once more. 

~Highway journey for me and Iva~

So we have been off on Sunday for a road-trip. I’ve by no means been to King George Virginia, and many individuals right here in northern Virginia, have by no means heard of it. It’s a quiet rural city east of Fredericksburg (Virginia) and let me let you know, it is manner the heck on the market.

We discovered our manner with only some unsuitable turns. “King George Couple” have been good and welcoming. They’re two individuals with massive hearts and actually do need to make a distinction for senior canine. And they’re completely dedicated to the two very senior Labs that they’ve. However as their house go to report mentioned, that they had very slippery laminate flooring that Iva stored slipping on and the within stairs have been steep and Iva slid down them each occasions we had her do them. After which their 2 Labs have been each not the enjoyable and energetic companions that Iva actually wants. There have been a couple of different issues that I will not point out as a result of it’s going to appear a bit trivial and perhaps I used to be being too important and unfair… 

However I knew leaving their house, they weren’t a match for Iva. Nonetheless, I made a decision to consider it for a couple of days, pondering that perhaps the cosmos would inform me one thing completely different when the mud settled on a 4 hour street journey. Properly, it did not. The reminiscence of her sliding down their steps and my having to virtually catch her earlier than she bumped into the wall stayed contemporary in my thoughts. So, I allow them to know. And onward the search goes for Iva and for King George couple too.
