Adios, Pearl!

Adios, Pearl!, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

With a mix of sadness and excitement, Pearl was adopted yesterday after a whirlwind romance by a family with several pre-teen kids and a big, cat-friendly dog. The flirtation started shortly after lunchtime, and by 5 pm their eyes had locked and they were drawn inextricably toward one another. The kids convinced mom to race to the shelter before closing to finish the paperwork, and by 7 pm she was whisked off on a new adventure, filled with exciting new toys, new rooms to explore, and big dogs to harass and chase around the house.
