One postscript to our choice: Linda brought Big Blue up to Atlanta to meet his new family on Saturday. We knew the adults in the family but had never met their 5-year old son, Cooper. Well, the report is that Cooper and Blue fell in love with each other the moment they met. I'm not surprised given how Blue behaved with all the children that visited the litter but he now has his own kid. Something he would not have had if we had kept him ourselves. Some things are just meant to be .
