TJ's Homecoming

"With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

TJ and Mackenzie Grace moved to Ireland to live with the Irish Taruns in May 2009.  Although TJ enjoyed his time with his family and had a chance to visit the parks in Dublin and the wilds of Wicklow, in the end he fought allergies and ear infections and some other health issues.  He has been wearing a cone most of his days  to keep him from scratching, and sleeping most of the day.

TJ's grandparents took him to the vet and on walks in Ireland and agreed to put him on the plane home with Cherry.  TJ was looking forward to leaving cold Ireland behind!

Before he left he wanted a good bye party with his family and friends including Siobhan, Sarah, and David.  However, it looks like Harris stole the show.

TJ went to the airport with his newest bestest buddy, Harris.  He made it safely to Powderhorn where he is getting the best care.  He met Luc and Bucky and is improving daily.  Bonnie, Champ and Jac joined the welcome home party on Valentine's Day.  Cherry is now one busy dog wrangler!
