Well our new Californians are on their way back to N.Y. They loved California, even our hot weather. Loved the high desert here. Our families meshed like they were born to each other and all the dogs bonded with them very quickly. Why the about face, every day since they arrived one or more of Linda's family members called even the grandkids who are quite young were put on the line. Purpose to beg and cry for Linda to come back. Ron never got to go through the employment doors we opened for him before Linda decided to go back. Every phone call left Linda in tears and so emotionally upset it was hard to see. Our family is devistated...young Bill and Ron bonded to a point that Bill felt he had a big brother. My husband liked them immediately and Ron treated Bill like he was his father. We all hope, especially our 11 and 1/2 year old house dog, Skye who got thoroughly spoiled by all the petting he received, that they think this over and opt to return some day soon. Marie K.
