Well, it has happened. We found a new home for little Iorek - with a young couple who live not far from here and who've just bought their first home. Chris, the dude, was looking for a yellow lab type dog, and came to see Iorek. We brought Pan down as well, and he immediately (and properly, of course) fell in love with both of them. He tried to talk his wife into letting him bring both puppies home, but to no avail - this made me like him more, though, that he realized that Pan was as lovable, and as much of a treasure as Iorek is.
Chris picked Iorek up and took him home about a half hour ago, saying that he had a buddy who he was going to tell about Pan, and he was hoping that he could get his friend to adopt Pan too. There have been a couple of other people answering our ad in the paper, so hopefully Pan will find his new home soon also.
John and I have very mixed feelings - we're really pleased that Iorek's got a good home with someone nice, and we are glad to have N - 1 dog problems left to resolve. But we're going to miss our little Iorek very much, and never ever forget him.

I can totally understand your mixed feelings. I miss him and I only met him twice - but knowing I can't visit him anymore makes me sad. You must miss him a lot. Maybe because he lives nearby you'll be able to check in on him sometimes?
oooh..i'm happy and yet sad, too...i won't get to see him again. But it is good for iorek and ultimately good for the fivens household, too.
xoxo!
Wow, congrats on such a great match! Understandably both would have been best but I am sure it'll happen for Pan soon, too!
