Many very long time readers will recall after we had been shifting from the 900 sq. foot residence to the trailer some 10-ish years in the past, we needed to re-home our animals. It was a very exhausting time.
Earlier than everybody jumps down my throat on that once more, we rehomed three animals:
- Mene – a chihuahua that we ended up with when a navy household needed to transfer and wanted somebody to take their little canine.
- Princess’s cat – who really moved with us to the 30 acres the place the trailer was, however grew to become an out of doors cat as a substitute of inside. She ended up remaining at that property with the household that lived there after we moved to Georgia.
- Izzy – a pet discovered within the dumpster who was dropped at us to take care of.

Aside from the cat, we didn’t exit and undertake animals simply to offer them away. Anyhow…
Replace on Izzy
This week I received a message from the household that took Izzy after we moved. They had been making an attempt to determine how outdated she is.
They had been additionally a homeschooling household and their oldest son and Sea Cadet knew one another from the summer time camp the place they each attended after which labored at.
“She is essentially the most spoiled one within the household ? [my husband] handed away from most cancers in April and Izzy was his trustworthy companion all through his 4.5 yr battle. She is a loyal good friend and we’re all a bit anxious to see her growing older a bit bit???”
She additionally despatched a number of footage.
The children and I’ve been going backwards and forwards making an attempt to determine how outdated she is. The most effective we will guess is 11-12 years outdated. The twins agree that she was dropped off after that they had moved in. They had been positioned with me after they had been 12 and are 27 now.
Anyhow, it was so good to listen to from this household and get to see Izzy. She has really gotten to reside her finest life.
(Mene was an outdated man after we received him. He ended up going to reside with a sailor and his new spouse that had been our neighbors on the residence. I feel it was extra Mene adopting them reasonably than them adopting him. However he handed away a number of years in the past. We had stayed in contact as effectively.)
Simply thought a few of you very long time readers would take pleasure in this replace like I did.
