As predicted and soooo hoped for, as the days pass ... the emotional attachment to Donut the Dog is waning. Tony now tells folks - in a very matter-of-fact way - that we had to give away our dog because he wouldn't like India and wanted to stay in the snow.
Both littles got a replacement dog (FurReals) and every chance we get, we love on real puppies from around town.
Donut the Dog is thriving in his new home and we are confident that we made the right decision!
