After living for a month and a half in a different city, we’re finally going home today.

And not alone!

Our daughter is coming with us to her new home. It will be three months before she is officially ours, but we are having her home starting today, and this is all that matters now.

Considering that I’ve been up since 2AM and it’s almost 4AM now, yeah, I’m a bit nervous.

Well, more like excited probably. Ikeep planning the next couple of days. What we’ll cook, where we’ll go out for walks and play.

I wonder if she’ll be ok with the move, if she’ll miss her foster mom.

There is no doubt that the bond between her and us has grown extensively in this period. She prefers staying with us and it is horrible to take her back each evening to her foster home.

But this is something that happens here, in the place she knows. How will things go in a completely new environment?

This kinda keeps me up.

I know she’ll adore the cats and the hamsters. But will the fluffs and us be enough for her? Will the transition go smoothly enough for her not to add to her existing trauma?

Only time will tell, but we’ll be here for her.
