Parting
Today we went to lunch at the home of my late mother in law's friend in Dallas, who is going to be taking in Fred, my mother in law's dog. We brought along his stuff and moved him in a few days before we are leaving so that he had a chance to settle in and to make sure there were no unexpected issues.
As we left Fred and were saying our goodbyes to our host, I was worried that my wife would crack since Fred was such a part of our visits to her mother in Dallas and a channel to a lot of memories. Nope, it was me.

What a sweet message; our condolences to you and your wife. Fred looks happy, and it sounds like he will have a good home to spend his final years. Dogs seem to bounce back better from losses than we humans do. I'm still grieving from the loss of my mom and my dog (Fred) two years ago, but it gets a little better every day.
That's a sweet story! We wish the best for Fred, his new home, and you all.

It is hard saying goodbye, and perhaps you will visit Dallas again, if only to stop in and say hello to Fred.
Take care, 3dogs
Fred is lucky to have two homes that want him. His final years should be very comfortable. We hope you find comfort too. Pappy is waiting.
We're sorry to hear about the loss of a dear person in your family. We hope you both have great memories of her and can think on those things. Fred sure does look happy. We hope he has a great new home.
