Your Forever Home
We knew that you were special
We knew it was no lark
That you would need a special home
We knew it from the start

We put you on the internet
And then the search began
To find for you that special place
Your "Forever Home" to land

Time has passed but we think of you
And how you are in your new home
We sleep much better every night
We know you're not alone

The four of us

Gracie with Riley & Jasmine

Gracie so pretty!!

Gracie was turned into rescue by her family. Despite that,
she is an incredibly sweet and loving dog. She does not like
being by herself and will bark endlessly, but is not destructive.
She gets along great with other dogs - as long as food or bones
are not around, and she does not care about cats. Kids are just fine
too, but watch out, when she takes food she sometimes gets your
finger! We are working on that though. Gracie is a shadow, and loves
to try to get herself up into everyones laps. She is a big baby and
cries over everything. She has a great recall and does very well off
lead. For an older lady, she has alot of spunk and loves to run, but
is very laid back in the house. She will make someone a great pet!

*Update* July 4, 2007
Gracie has changed a lot in the 2 weeks she's been with us. She is no
longer obsessed with food, nor does she bite fingers. Perhaps because
she is no longer starving!! She is now at a healthy weight and looking
great! (She was underweight). Gracie has found a wonderful
home in Maine with a retired woman. I think she is going to be
very happy there. Updates to come.

*Update* July 22, 2007
Gracie is doing very well in her new home! She went to the groomer
and just loved it. She is enjoying running around on her gorgeous 5 acres
and getting ALL the attention since she's the only dog. Everyone just
loves her and she is so happy.

*Update* October 2007*
Gracie is doing very well. She just loves her mom and wont let her out
of her site! Here are more pictures.

*Update* February 28, 2008
Gracie is loving all the snow, and as her mom puts it,
"is doing good and being a brat!".

Gracie, may you be blessed in the name of the Holy One who created you,
and may you and I enjoy our time together and care for one another in peace.
