I'm feeling kind of sad today, so I thought I post my Wesley post that I have been putting off. You know, because it's sad.

He's gone. We found a new home for him. Not too long after we found out we were moving to Indonesia, we decided he would be happier with nice people who could give him what he needed. Which is attention, room to run, frequent walks, a playmate, and cooler weather. I went back and forth for a few weeks. He is seriously the coolest dog on the planet. It was really hard giving him away. But we knew he would be happier, and it would be less stress on us as we prepare to move to another, not so pet friendly, country.

I recently got an email from his new owners. Here it is...

Just wanted to email you and let you know how Wesley is doing. Since he has been here, he has adjusted so well. He loves his new home. it works out great with our schedules because we rarely have to lock him up, so he is constantly doing something with us. Wesly gets along great with everyone he meets. I have brought him to a couple of family events and everyone can't get over how well behaved he is. He sleeps in bed with me most nights but loves sleeping on the hardwoods and he LOVES the backyard. At first he didn't like to go out there without me, and now we have trouble getting him back in! He loves running around with giant sticks in his mouth, and he loves chasing squirrels. I attached a photo of Wesley and Riley. They are like best buds! Wesley is always so excited when it's time to go to the office to see Riley. They love to run around and play until they are both exhausted. We, of course, have two pens set up for them, but as you can tell, they love to be together. Wesley also loves going to the dog park. He did so well with the other dogs and made lots of friends! I know now why you loved him so much. He is a wonderful dog and we are so happy we found him! So thank you for giving us a wonderful pet. He really is our new buddy. Thank you again and tell the kids Wesley says hi!

It makes me really happy knowing he is having a good time. I love that he carries around big sticks. I love picturing him doing that. The picture was cute. She cut all his hair off, which made me cringe because he is such a beautiful Wheaten. He deserves to look like one. But, it is probably much more practical since he is running around and playing all day. At least she kept his name.

And since we left Paris in Arizona, we are now petless. I never wanted to be petless. It breaks my heart. Paris is now with someone who loves her too. But I really wish she was here with me. That's all I have to say about that.

ps - I didn't edit the letter.
