According to Willet's forever Mom, he is doing wonderfully! He has learned so much from his training. He is also a BIG hit with the family and friends. He goes to the office where she says, "Our great niece and nephew (they are 3 and 5) come and visit Willet at least once a week while we are at work. They bring a movie that they say WIllet wants to watch and all three of them lay on the floor and watch the movie while their mom cleans our house. LOL Willet goes to my brother's house on a regular basis and stays overnight. He loves being over ther because they have a fenced in yard and he gets to run around in the whole yard. He just met Bob's brother dog (Miles) he is a 9 y.o. german shepherd and they get along great so good that when he met him last Friday he ended up staying over ngiht at their place. Bob's parents came in town from Florida and absolutely fell in love with him. Willet and I are going to fly to Florida to visit them in the fall."

It's been a busy couple of months for us but in the middle of all of it, Willet's new Mom and Dad found him. He went home to Ohio on Sunday with his new Mom, who flew out to pick him up. Her good friend Val met her here and we had to watch her to make sure she didn't take Willet home with her. ;-) He is a charmer!Word from new Mom last night is that he traveled like a dream and the flight attendant even let Belinda keep the Sherpa on the seat next to her during the flight. Guess they must have thought he was pretty special too. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this possible, especially Bev O, his matchmaker (and who also did the HSI), Deb S, who wrote the contract, Willet's blanket aunties Carol L and Karen A, foster mentor Karen O, and to everyone else who makes all of this possible. Special thanks to Foster Dad Mark, who had a hard time letting this little guy go and to our resident herd who did their best to teach him how to be a real Cairn.
