not sure what to do

[badger]

well, it's only been 3 days since I brought him home, and everyone sleeps in the bedroom quite happily. The little guy snores away in the corner and both the cats are on top of me.

Crating him was a disaster, all he did was barkbarkbark and me being in a condo that just can't happen all day. They were okay alone yesterday.

They'll eventually adjust, but at this point, it's looking more like am I ready to go through elder care again so soon? Maybe it's better for me to get a very young dog and go through the training with him/her.

I'm not worried about him languishing at a shelter. They assured me that he'll either be adopted out quickly due to my write-up of him, and/or through exposure on the noon news program. Which might be great, because anybody who watches it at that time would be at home, no?

I'm going to England March 19-April 2. I could leave him up for adoption when I leave, and if he's still around when I come back, then I can take him. If he's gone within 2 weeks, that's really good.
