Murphy`s Day in the sun

What a glorious day it`s been.
I got up late. The furkids let me sleep in for once and I am grateful for that I wasn`t even functional yet when Sam showed up with Timmy`s and Juliene. She is always on the go so I`m never surprised to see her. Juliene`s home visit didn`t turn out well so he came back here to play with his buddies for now.
We all got busy and had breakfast and then it was Murphy`s time . Whenever one of my fosters is having a visitor, I spend an hour or so with just that one special baby. We play and talk while I clean ears, trim nails and do some last minute brushing .
Murphy knew something very special was going to happen and watched my every move with that smile he has, plastered on his mug.
Murphy has been through so much , its hard to believe that he is still alive. While doing xrays to see how far advanced Murphy`s heartworm was, our vet found a few pounds of buckshot lodged under his skin. Our Murphy had been shot too. And if that wasnt enough, there are signs that Murphy`s right leg had been broken when he was a baby and it healed crooked.
None of this mattered today. Murphy was going home. To his new, real, loving home.
His new Mom and Dad showed up right on time and Murphy knew instantly who they were.
He didnt bark or make strange at all. Within seconds of meeting, Murphy was in Karen`s arms and giving kisses. I no longer existed. I tried not to cry but did anyway And thats how it should be.
It tells me that I have made the right choice for Murphy and that he will be loved forever.
Thats what this is all about , folks.
Murphy has gone home and I thank God for allowing him to pass through my life.
later
