Finally some good news! Huxley and Blitz, the two dogs we fostered, went to their permanent home today. They were adopted together (they are sisters). They are now living with an older couple up in the mountains on five fenced in acres of land. I'm so happy for them. I know they will be fine now.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
