We think about Dexter often and always talk about him. Now that Sage is walking, we wonder how these two would have gotten along. We miss him terribly; words cannot even describe how sad and heartbroken we are that he is not in our lives anymore. I can’t even get through this post without crying!
Brad and I decided to find Dexter a new family last November. We knew that we were being selfish with keeping him knowing that we couldn’t give him the care and attention he so rightfully deserves. With that, we decided that Dexter’s needs are the priority and we need to find him a new home that could offer more people to love him and play with him!
We found the perfect family that lives in Grants Pass (close to his vet) and Dexter is still in the “family”. My sister-in-law’s cousin’s family was looking for another dog and are crazy about Bulldogs. Dexter now belongs to a family of four, Heather and Rian and their two little girls. Dexter also has a doggy brother- Gannon who is a boxer!
We got an update from his new family and this is what she said:
“Dexter is doing great. My girls love him. My husband ADORES him! He has made himself home in our little family. Dexter was hilarious this summer. He loves our pool! Our girls would go out and swim and Dexter would run around the pool in circles the entire time barking at the girls. He refused to come inside and would wear himself out in the hot Grants Pass summer. He would spend hours doing this and our challenge was keeping him cool enough. It was certainly a spectacle. If we opened the back door he would bolt out and look at the girls like, “let’s swim.”
He is a happy dog. We love him”
I guess Dexter gets to sleep where ever he wants to, he often goes to work with Rian, he is almost always with someone, never alone and he has a backyard to play in!
It was one of the hardest decisions that Brad and I have ever made and we struggled with it for a very long time, heck, we still struggle with the decision we made every day, BUT, what keeps the tears at bay is knowing that he is happy and healthy, getting lots of love!
It has taken me this long to post this and to explain the absence of Dexter in our lives. He was our baby before Sage came into our lives and he’ll always be in our hearts- funny how dogs become such a big part of your family!
Happy 5th Birthday to our sweet Dexter! We miss you!
The very first time Sage and Dexter met!
Kisses for Sage
