I wrote her an email the other day, and this is her reply...
Hi Traci,
I wondered if you had disappeared from Phoenix! Many months ago when you called me, I called you back and told you it'd be fine to get together that coming weekend. But, I never heard from you again.
This coming weekend will not work out because my brother is coming in town to visit and help me find a house to buy. I'm looking in Gilbert/Chandler/some of Mesa for a house with a yard....which Ollie will LOVE.
He's doing so well and is terribly spoiled. On occasion he spends time with my mom's west highland terrier and they love each other to pieces. It's really interesting because he's aggressive with the majority of dogs he meets, but then there will be a dog or two that he is friendly with all the time. I do want to get him a buddy when I buy my house. Have been thinking a of female corgi pup.
The next weekend that you have open I will be in Palm Springs for business. You can certainly come by after I get off work one day on your off days, just let me know when. Did you change jobs?
It's hard to believe that it's been so long since you saw us. But anyhow, rest assured your little guy is happy, happy, happy :-)

I just could NOT have found a better home for Ollie... I feel so incredibly lucky. I miss him sometimes, and think that Kota can do the things that Ollie used to, but alas, it's just not so. There are many many things that I miss about my Olliebear, but the end... what pushed us over the edge... is enough for me to be grateful that he has another home. If not for his departure, I would not have Sedona and Chance, so life is good :)I'm going to see if I can't go see Ollie soon... it HAS been a long time (Since last September?) and I miss my bear :) I love that he's close so I *can* see him.
In October it'll be a year since Orion went to New Mexico too... Gosh last year sucked.
Life is definitely on the rise...
