Mommie and daddie and I hab wurked so hard to help Tibo be weady for a fureber home, we all are pwaying dat dis is de wight home for him, and we tink it is! Dis wady iz bery nise and gentle and pasient, and she unnerstandz dat Tibo still haz some tings to wurk on fwom being in dat puppy mill for ober 4 yeers. Tibo has a widdle cairn sister named Sandy, too, just adopted fwom a shelter a cuple ob monfs ago, too. His momma e-maled mommie tonight and said dat Tibo and Sandy are getting awong gud, Tibo haz been enjoying wunning awound in de bak yard, and he's expworing de house wif his bewwy band on for now! And, he putz his pawz up on her neez for sum wubbingz. Dat made mommie cry, cause she felt wike it showed dat Tibo knowz he's wubbed in his nu home.

Happy fureber widdle Tibo, we will alwayz remember yu and wub yu! We hope yur nu momma will keep in touch!

He came to our howz on Wednesday nite. He'z doing gud, he'd neber been on a weash and neber pottie twained and neber krate twained b4 eder. He'z doing gud on all dat, but he'z grrr-snapped at ME at cuple of timez when I've twied to sniff him. Mommie and daddy hab ordered an ex-pen so'z we can get to know each oder wifout actually BEING togedder (dis is one ob Col Potter's suggestions).
