A New Home for Kali and Tory

Last Saturday we took Kali and Tory to their new home. They are living with Rene (sounds like gene) and her husband Luke in Goshen, Indiana. Westie Rescue of Missouri and our Lord found the girls the perfect home. Rene is a stay at home mother and wife with an empty nest and a full heart for the Lord and his critters. She was wanting some company and found out about our dear girls.

Andy and I thought it would take a long time to find the girls a new home, but it only took a week. Amazing. And their new family loves the Lord also. Awesome.

Friday night the six of us (adults, kids and dogs) piled in the van around 6:30pm and headed out. Not long into our trip we ran into a wall of rain, lightning and thunder. Driving was slow, but we made it through. We got to the hotel in great time despite the rain, no we didn't speed (really, I already have a few tickets to my name and need to watch it).



Sleeping in the hotel was a challenge as Aaron was not ready to go to bed and was not thrilled with the pack and play, but we managed to make it through. Saturday morning we ate at the hotel and headed to Tory and Kali's new home. Rene and Luke were anxiously awaiting our arrival and marveled at the girls from the get go. We broke out the new toys we bought for the dogs and Tory was in heaven as a ball was tossed for her over and over and over. Tory was oblivious to what was going on, but Kali seemed to know something was up and was a bit hesitant. She eventually warmed up to Rene and Luke and sat on their laps and jumped up on a big cushy chair.

When it was time to go, all went surprisingly well and without much drama. I think I was the one choking back more tears than Andy and Isaac. Rene was very generous and gave each boy a gift bag full of fun toys and snacks for their trip.

Here are the girls with their new Mommy, Rene.
