Rudy Tootie

Today was such a bittersweet day for me and mom. Rudy was going to meet his forever mommy and daddy. I have known from the beginning with all of the emails, text messages and pictures shared that this couple had made up their mind early on that my lucky little boy who came to me in a heat wave was going to be their forever fur baby. What validated my feelings that this was going to be the one was not until many emails later did I get to understand that the daddy was a professional pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. His fiance's a sweet and caring young lady and an avid animal lover. She was so determined to have Rudy for her own. Kristen and Cole arrived at my home and she scooped him up and started to just hug him. Cole was smiling ear to ear and they both were just so happy to be able to hold him knowing they could leave with Rudy. As this was my first successful adoption I can not explain how happy and sad at the same time I was but knowing how anxious and excited they have been made it easier to let him go. I have received many video and pictures since they left. Rockey actually put his paws on the field at Citizen Bank Park already. A Phillies boy he will be! I feel honored and blessed to volunteer for a very caring organization that brings joy to a family looking for a forever baby. Congratulations Rudy Tootie!!!
