A farewell to Hermes

Seems I skipped completely over writing about Saturday. Saturday was the second Sat. of the month, so it was my day to be volunteer buddy at the shelter. I went and worked at the shelter and Hermes new family came for another meet and greet with their dog. Gypsy and Hermes got along fine again, played a bit, both dug in the same spot for some cool dirt to lay in (80's in December, you gotta love Texas) and shared the same water bowl, even both drinking from it at the same time (of course, Hermes also tried to dig in it). Hermes was his sometimes standoffish self from all of us humans, but didn't really snub us like he has with some previous visitors. Well, his new home is ready this week with the movers bringing back the household contents on Monday and the new family was trying to arrange a mid-week pickup and if not, then Friday. Sitting with Watson curled up in my lap this morning, I thought back to Hermes coming over to the bed in the morning to get some petting and rubbing. It is sad to see him go, but I am glad that he ended up with such a wonderful family that obviously loves him. So, it is time to say farewell and move Hermes to the adopted section of the blog.
