A Sad Goodbye- Our Sweet Whisper

Today was a HARD day! We knew when we decided to move to Myrtle Beach we would probably have to give Whisper away. He has SEVERE thunderstorm anxiety and has been So happy living in California. We found a sweet lady, Linda, who will LOVE him to death and he how has a 2 1/2 year old sister that he fell in love with right away! Linda has a place in Lake Tahoe so Whisper will be going to Lake Tahoe next week... and he now rides in a Lexus SUV instead of my Ford! Whisper is moving up in the world!
I cried, Linda cried, and TJ came home from church with no doggy to come home to. Don't worry... Linda invited our family to come visit him several times at his new home before we head out of town.
We have LOVED Whisper since the day we adopted him from the Dallas Fort Worth Golden Retriever Rescue. Linda actually does a lot of volunteer work for the NorCal Golden Rescue and has been a foster mom in the past. I highly recommend adoption if your family is ever looking for a pet. Here are some sweet pictures of our "first baby". I know he is going to be SO happy in his new home with his new sister!
The night ended up on a happy note though because we had friends from the worship team come hang out and it was such a fun time. We are going to miss them SO MUCH! I'll post pics from tonight later. I'm off to bed!

And now it is my turn to cry. I have never seen Whisper in person but I feel like I know him. Sounds like he will be very happy in his new home with a companion to keep him active. Leaving old friends is hard but I know you are moving toward many new friends too. Hugs & hugs,

This made me cry too. I can't imagine having to give away Margo, our golden retriever, (also our first baby) and I'm sure it was so hard for ya'll. I know you're comforted that he's going to a great home though!

After being gone from work for three days, I am slammed. Rather than working, I'm reading your blog and trying to hide that I'm crying . . . got to run to the bathroom. But it does sound like you found Whisper a great home!

I'm crying too. What a bunch of crybabies we are. I hope we get to see Whisper before we pull out in a few weeks. He was our first Granddog!

I'm crying! I know how sad you must be! You can come visit Charlie to get your golden fix if you need to!

Oh, I am sure this was so hard. I feel sad for you guys - all these goodbyes, and for good reasons, but still so hard. Thinking of you as you wrap up this chapter and for good closure.

I've been sad since I knew you'd found a home for him. But seeing the pictures killed me. Being that I'm reading this from work...I'm hiding the tears. You know how much I wish I could have taken him (darn HOA & their dog size limit). He sure has an exciting new life ahead of him; a "sister" to play with, trips to Lake Tahoe, etc.

I'm so sorry you had to give Whisper up but I'm glad you have obviously found a good home for him.
