Tula Finds Her Forever Family

Prayers are answered; Tula has found her forever family! A woman from my husband's work and her family adopted Tula this evening. It's a bittersweet day for my husband and I. We helped Tula open the next chapter of her life and close her chapter with us. My rescue partner, Kay, was here to give Tula a proper send-off.

Tula greeted her new family like old friends, which they were as she had met them previously. She had no quandaries about going with them when it came time to leave. It was a perfectly choreographed scene. In addition to keeping her Mr. Man company while he works from home, Tula will have two children to keep her busy.

To say that my house feels a little emptier without her around is an understatement of mass proportions. However, I know the joy she'll bring her forever family will be greater than any absence I feel.
