and so he has left for Fowey and a long and happy life .........

Today's the day..... the day Clark Kent, aka Superman, Clarkus Barkus, Clarky Bark left us to go to his forever home with Lisa & Gill. It has been a roller coaster of emotions since 20th May when he arrived here, scared, smelly and sad. 

We had a tear filled day, a lovely walk in the fields this morning and a photo or ten taken! 

On our final walk in the fields

Happy cuddles with Rob

After our walk we had more cuddles.....

Funny, happy and loved

I spent the rest of the time with him alternating between crying and smiling at him, cuddling, taking photos and promising him I'd always be here if he needed me (not that he will of course!!) 

After many tears, cuddles and hugs the time soon came around to 2pm and Gill & Lisa arrived to collect the remaining bits and pieces of medication and of course the most wonderful, handsome, happy, funny Wire Fox Terrier - Clark Kent!

We had decided that the best thing to do was go for a walk as usual and then for Gill & Lisa to take him home with them from there. It was awful and one of the worst days I have experienced, my heart was breaking every moment that led up to them driving away.

We had a good walk, lots of laughs and happy times.

Full of energy, flying over the stones!

Doing a very good impression of Shaun the Sheep!

So after 40 minutes or so we made our way back to the car and to our final goodbyes. It was so very hard to watch him hop up into his cage and shut the door..........

Tears are still flowing and will probably continue to do so for a while but I know that he is loved and will be treated like a prince with Lisa & Gill, a better home could not have been found for him. 

and so from this photo taken on 20th May, the day he arrived from Spain.........

To this, 5 months later, happier, healthier and truly a Superman to me and many others.

Thank you for following Clark's story, this blog has brought many people to together and has developed a 'Clark Kent' fan club on Facebook and further afield.  It has helped me no end and I have a detailed record of his time with us. 

I will do my best to periodically update you all with Clark's progress in his new home and with his new family.

In the mean time if any of you have been inspired to foster or adopt please look at Terrier SOS website and help those dogs that have been abandoned and abused. Thank you!!!
