I meant to add that he is 8 years old.

He sounds like a sweetie. I have my fingers crossed that he and Roxie hit it off!

I hope it works out. There are so many babies out there needing loving homes. Keep us posted.

I hope you can work it out -- if Tallulah didn't have Yorkie Camp to go to every day, I would SO want to get her a companion. One of these days, I may still try to talk George into it...

Well honestly I have been looking at this ad on of and off again all day, but something has me drawn to it. I certaintly hadnt even thought of adding another fuzzball to the family, but now I cannot wait to meet him. Fingers crossed, I am waiting on the lady to call me back and set up a time for us to meet.

Ohh what a sad story for this little guy! I think once you have that feeling that you did, it's a sign that you should go for it! I just adopted Tinkerbelle Saturday and I never thought I'd want another one so soon, we just got Bonnie in May, and she's only 8 months old! I'm am so glad we did, I cant tell you the feeling I got when I first held Tinks! Good luck with everything! This little guy needs you and Roxie! I'm sure he's grieving also!

RileyDC · 11-17-2010, 01:53 PM

Ohhhh..... that would be awesome! Hoping it works out!!!!

Sometimes it just happens that way. I honestly wasn't looking for another pet when I was browsing petfinders, but Scarlett's picture just spoke to me...I swore I could hear her saying "why haven't you come to get me yet Mom?"

Ok , I am posting this with great sadness....I have decided to wait on this little one, I think I would be super selfish in adopting him because I am not home all day and he is still grieving for his other owner. I think he would be best suited for someone who can give him their undivided attention. I spoke with the woman on the phone and she said she had narrowed it down between me and an older lady whose children were grown ,etc. So I decided to back out, hoping I did the right thing, but I just didnt want the little guy to be so lonesome and sad for 8 hours a day, especially right after losing his owner. Gosh (sigh), I hope I did the right thing......

That was such a big hearted, generous thing to do! Putting his needs before your wants.....I'm sure you would have been a great home for him, but you made the right decision for him.

katienme2002 · 11-18-2010, 05:48 AM

I know in my heart I did the right thing, but why do I feel so horrible about it?

Because he'd already found his way into your heart. These little ones are sneaky that way!

You will know when it's the *right* time to add to your little family.
