We knew this day was coming. When we decided that we would be moving to MI and into seminary housing, we knew that Gidget would not be able to come with us. The family that we adopted Gidget from a few years ago had moved back into our neighborhood this fall. We ran into them last fall while taking Gidget for a walk and they were so ecstatic to see her again. So a few weeks ago when we knocked on their door and told them that we were looking for a new home for Gidget because of our moving circumstances, they immediately said they would love to have her back in their family! It felt like a reminder from "above" that God works all things out, even for our pets!
So, on Gidget's moving day we spruced her up with a nice bath, big-dog style...
We've shed a few tears but the busyness of summer has helped ease the transition. Mostly, we're thankful she has moved on to a new home, which is really her original family, and we know she will be well loved and cared for!
Thank God for a good home and one he once was happy in! Wow, awesome how God worked that out.
