Dugan is one of Gracie's -- look at how far he's come -- !!

Here's how Grace and her babies' story STARTED...

And here's little Doogies --

-- at the left, barely 3 weeks old, and at the right, fittin' to be a proper young man -- !!

So, after 8 weeks being with his siblings and momma, little Dugan was ready to fly the coop --

-- and that he did, at 12 weeks --

-- ears flopping, and ready for lovin' (and obedience!) --

So next, an application, homevisit and adoption in Mass. with Katelin and family --

-- you can TELL who Dugan's new momma is -- !!

And here he is, growing in to himself, learning some new tricks -- :D

-- this is NOT in your obedience regimen, Dugan --

-- but, have fun with it -- !!

So there was our boy growing up yet again --

-- look at his labby rear legs, and still those EARS -- !!

You can tell, too, that a little spoiling has gone on with this boy --

-- considering where he came from, and the other options given to him, we'll take the spoilin' -- !!

So there we are, a boy happy in his home --

-- and a successful rescue -- fulfilling in it's own way --

-- and no, it's not about 401(k) planning, annual bonuses, sub-zero fridges, or 20" rims --

-- it's about the happiness that comes when a rescue of her momma and litter comes together to work out this well.

So there's Dugan, snug as a bug in a rug --

-- andnext, we pray, is Gracie's placement. She is in foster care in CT, and her story and adoption application can be found here.

Thank you to everyone for making this placement such a success --

-- you've saved Dugan and put him a world better than his wildest dreams could imagine, and you've given proud Katelin a best friend forever --

-- thank you!
