Archie update!

So first off, I want to end the suspense over Archie. The woman who came to see him (who happens to be my neighbor) fell in love with the little old guy! I have been getting periodic status updates from her via text. As of last night, Archie had really shown himself to be a connoisseur of cuddling, blankets, and warm sunny spots. I am so happy for him! He is currently in a foster-to-adopt situation, which basically means that if all goes well in the household over the course of the next few days, ol' Archie should get to stay in his new home!

I got Archie dressed up for the brisk day in a little sweater. 

Archie & his new Mom!

Archie and his new brother, DJ.

DJ happens to be missing the same eye that Archie is blind out of and he
has dry skin issues, just like Arch. Coincidence? :-)

This is the face of  VERY lucky boy!

All in all, I am very pleased at Archie's prospects. Several of our staff members looked at his teeth on Friday (one of the major ways to tell a dog's age) and everyone agreed that it is possible he isn't even that old! His blind eye might be a result of injury, in all actuality. Regardless, I couldn't be happier for this little guy. My coworker Kelly and I got really invested in and attached to this little guy while he was staying with us.

The sunset behind the shelter on Friday, the day I found out that Archie was
finally going home. It was a good day.
