Graduate of Finishing School

Boomer embarked on his future last evening, jumping into his new Dad's car without a backward glance. We had previously had an introductory visit so that John and his wife Janet could walk Boomer and feed him treats and fall in love with my big sensitive foster-collie.
They're getting a hell of a nice dog and he should be set for life.
Boomer's new home is in Half Moon Bay, right on the coast. He will like the cooler climate and enjoy his new people. They are collie-lovers of long standing; still missing their last dog who passed away six months ago. Boomer's new parents will take him jogging on the natural trails and take him with them to the cafe overlooking the ocean where he can attract admiring glances, as is his due. They are so impressed by his current level of manners and obedience that there is talk of dog-rally obedience competitions, just for fun.
I look forward to visiting Boomer one day, once he is well established with his new family. For now, I am proud and happy and a little heart-sore.
