So tomorrow I will be the proud momma to a new doggie. His name is Sergent (Sergeant, for the anglophones on my flist) and he is a husky-collie mix. He's adorable, fully trained, loves pats, and apparently gets along well with cats. He's five years old and a total sweetie —his family have to give him away because one of their children is too allergic for them to keep him.

Photos will follow once I get him settled in. I'm choosing to think of him as an early birthday present for myself. :)

Congrats!!!! Five years old is a perfect age -- he's grown out of the puppy craziness, but is still happy, healthy and energetic. I think this will be your favorite birthday present EVER!

A five-year-old husky/collie mix? Wow! Maybe he's Carter's long lost twin brother! Can't wait to see pictures!

Lucky you!!! I can't wait to see the pics. I'll see you on Thursday and look forward to hearing all about him.

Oh my goodness. You'll be going on lots and lots of walks and runs!
P.S. I know a professional dogwalker/sitter in Montreal if you ever need help.

Congratulations, Mamá.

I'm happy for you. I'm sad for him & his family of origin, but things will get better.

That heart-wrenching waiting at the door for the originals to return -- T-Jane did that in November after her original mother saw her on the street and made a gawdawful scene that almost stopped Nephew from allowing T.J. to go back to what had been her home for twelve years.

She kept getting up and standing at the door with her head down, hoping. It was too tragic to watch.

Will Sergeant have visitation, or is that a bad idea?

I have told Sergeant's family that they can come visit anytime they like, and I will be sending email updates, but I don't know if they'll actually come. Time will tell.

He's already a little less sad, I think. *fingers crossed*
