My daughter got lonely after her divorce and adopted Em from GA Basset Rescue 8 yrs ago. At the time Em was already 7, and we really never expected to have her around this long. She has been going down for about a year, and Jen expected her to go in her sleep some night, but it became clear this morning that Em needed some help getting there. Not an easy decision, but I believe, the right one. I did see her a couple weeks ago, so I know.
Somehow, Jen knew Em was the one she wanted instantly. She looked at them all online, picked her, and I arranged to make sure Em would be there on adoption day. We drove to Atlanta, saw her, and I suggested she might want to check out the others as well, but nope...it was Em from the beginning. And she has been a love for much longer than anyone could have hoped for.
Thanks for your devotion and companionship, Emmaline! Winnie and Sydney have met you now, and Grampa is giving you cookies!
Here she is several years ago...most of her hair had turned white since then.
