So a lot has happened in the last few weeks. Mom had a few applications for Gizmo. She even took her to an Adopt-A-Thon where people could come and see a bunch of the dogs/puppies and cats that AARCS has up for adoption. Mom said that Gizmo did pretty good considering she has never been in a store or around so much unknown things for her.
The first application didn't work out but Mom wasn't worried, she just told Gizmo that the right family is out there and we have to be patient. Well boy was Mom right.
So on Saturday a family came to visit Gizmo, Dad, son and daughter and I even got to meet them too. At first Dad put Tanner and me downstairs so that Gizmo could get all the attention and they all seemed to really like eachother. Gizmo was giving lots of kisses and the best part was they brough her a new toy and treats. How sweet was that!!! Finally after a bit Mom said that we could come up stairs and meet the family too, I mean we want to give our thumbs up or down since she is our sister. Both Tanner and I really liked them too, I sat very nicely beside the Boy and he gave me lots of pets.
Then Mom and the family took Gizmo for a walk so they could see how she was with J - she is 11 and was so excited about getting a puppy. Well Giz did great, she was a little scared but that is to be expected.
So they really liked her but they also have a cat at home so it was important to make sure everyone in the family got along. On Sunday Mom took Gizmo to their house so she could meet the cat and the Mom.
I guess the first meeting went really well, Gizmo sniffed and actually pointed with her paw (she has never done that before) but the cat just smelt her and went upstairs. So they let Gizmo check out the house and everyone, even the back yard. Which Gizmo told me was awesome.
Some friends came over to see her as well and Gizmo took everything in stride and was very calm. The cat did come downstairs later to again check out Gizmo and there was a bit of hissing which scared her and she ran to the pillow they had on the floor. They all feel that they will be fine and get along no problem once they are used to eachother and sharing the space. Lets face it Cats always rule the house anyway.
So Mom got the official call last night that they definately want to Adopt Gizmo and the plan is to pick her up on Monday, April 9th. So that gives me a week to play with her.
We are all gonig to miss her but we are also super happy she is going to such a fabulous home.
