I am so excited, I just have to share this!!
My mother offered to take on a 14 year old mini-poodle Coco from an adoptive home that hadn't done his much needed dental work amoung other things. Coco was not happy and was working hard to convince the groomer he didn't want to leave with the owner. The owner was trying to convince the groomer to keep Coco (she'd just had to put one of her dogs down)
Coco wouldn't have done well with my mother's tribe of standard poodles out in the back country so I was delegated to take care of him until we found him a placement.
I had several offers to take him, all from people who felt sorry for him but would really have preferred a younger, smaller or happier dog. So he stayed with me. He and B.Basset competing for my attention and making it clear they both would rather the other fell off the world.
Yesterday I placed Coco in a home with no stairs, a neighbour dog who wants to be friends he thinks is adorable, and an affectionate older couple who really need and want a dog in their world. Their careprovider (she is battling cancer and he has several heath issues also) has 3 little dogs and says she'll take Coco for them anytime.
I stopped in today to see them and they are all so happy!! Wonderful to see.
