I think I found my sweet pup a new home!

Sounds like a great home -- nice work in persevering to help your pup.

That's wonderful! Maybe if it works out, the new owner wouldn't mind if you paid her a visit now and then....

Very happy for you, and you are doing the right thing for your baby.

The new owner is very nice and lives very close. She said I am welcome to visit anytime. I do want my dog to get attached to her new home though, so I will stay away for awhile. I will call and check in on her though. I wanted to call this morning, but I will resist. I wonder how her first night went.

After I dropped her off last night and was so depressed and cried. But I told myself, no more crying from this point forward... because I did what was good for her.

The lady and I said she would "try her out" for 2 weeks, but I am pretty sure my little pup will not be coming home.

What a kind and loving thing you did for your little dog!!!

I can't imagine how difficult it is to let her go like that, but you should hold your head up high knowing you did the right thing. You loved her so much, you set her free By finding her a good home instead of taking her to the shelter or just "offering" her to whoever came first, you are miles ahead of so many people who get animals that don't fit with their lifestyles.

Good work, KSH. Maybe it's time for a cat, who could care less if you're around all of the time as long as you have food, a place to poop, and a nice set of blankets to sleep in.

I'm glad it's working out, KSH. I know it must be hard, but you're doing the right thing.

I became a foster parent to Wren the Rat Terrier yesterday. My best friend's mom lives near me and she is getting too frail to have a high-energy dog underfoot. I agreed to help her find a new home, if I couldn't keep her myself.

She is identical to my 20 yo Jack Russell in coloring, but Wren is really fat--as old ladies' dogs tend to get. She's only 3 years old, has papers, spayed and is really sweet. She also has spots on her back that look like a panda face. I would keep her, except I've been waiting for the day my JRT dies so I don't have to contend with half-inch long white hairs on everything. Wren sheds identically to Percy, and I just can't keep her. She sits on command, but is food obsessed. Well houstrained, though, and did learn to use the doggie door just by watching the other dogs. I hope to break her of the habit of standing on her hind legs to look at the table or counter. (She's too short to reach.) My dogs don't do that, although they do sit and stare at us while we're eating. She's also very quiet. I heard her bark a few times at some neighbors yesterday, but other than that she's silent.

So, if anyone is near Arkansas and would love a well behaved, full-blooded Rat Terrier that needs to be on a diet, I have one. She will only go to a home I approve, though.

Tuckervill... what a cute dog! I hope you can find a good home for her.

I called the lady who took my dog... just to see how the past 3 days went. She told me that my dog is completely happy and hasn't peed on the floor.

My little pup has been sleeping in her bed and sitting on the couch with her to get some lovin'.

She assured me that my dog was happy ... and that she was in love with her and there was no way she could give her up.

I told her how happy I am... and I am!

KSH I am so very happy everything has worked out so well.
