It was clear that Carolyn and Tim are perfect parents for Jackson, and equally clear that Jackson thinks so, too. Jackson was obviously happy living there. He was happy to see me, but he had no confusion about whether I was going to take him anywhere. He knows where his home is now. Carolyn and Tim are great people, very much the kind of adoptive home that we seek for our rescued Shelties. They're also the kind of people I'm proud to call my friends after meeting them. I figured that I'd stay at their place for a half-hour or so, then politely excuse myself. I ended up staying a couple of hours and left only because I had a meeting early the next morning. Barbara still misses Jackson, and probably always will to some degree. But she's comforted knowing that that little guy is going to be taken care of exactly as she'd wish for the rest of her live.

He is such a gentle, loving soul. He and Wylie are great together, but we'll need to work with our other cat, Squeak. She's always been a wild child/fraidy cat, so she's made it very difficult for Jackson to be calm around her. We'll work it out. Anyone out there have suggestions? My heart broke when I read this entry. It was a wonderfully generous thing to take Jackson into your family, treat him so well, train him, grow so attached, and then give him to someone else. Again, many, many thanks for your kind heart and generosity. Carolyn Hi Barbara,
