It's the Journey - Adoptions

Hi, Mom here.  Saturday we (PUP People United for Pets) had an adoption event. Incredible!! 10 pups were adopted!!! Such a good feeling to see them go to loving homes and to see the connections between foster and new family.  Noam and Emma are still with us, but we know the right home will come along for them.

I have always like the portion of a poem that says " It's the journey - not the destination".  I hadn't ever seen the poem in it's entirety - so thought I would include it.  I included pictures of paths we have been on. 

It's The Journey That's Important
By John McLeod
Life, sometimes so wearying
Is worth its weight in gold
The experience of traveling
Lends a wisdom that is old
Beyond our 'living memory'
A softly spoken prayer:
"It's the journey that's important,
Not the getting there!"
Ins and outs and ups and downs
Life's road meanders aimlessly?
Or so it seems, but somehow
Leads us where we need to be,
And being simply human
We oft question and compare...
"Is the journey so important
Or the getting there?"
And thus it's always been
That question pondered down the ages
By simple men with simple ways
To wise and ancient sages...
How sweet then, quietly knowing
Reaching destination fair:
"It's the journey that's important,
Not the getting there!"

Hope you all had a fun weekend.  BTW Ernie seems to still be improving.  Still having to take it easy and limit (no stairs) stairs as much as possible.  Hard for him because he loves to run and also go up and down the stairs at will.....
Mom Barb for the rest of the pack.
