Merlin Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I am very pleased to say that it looks like Abby Rose is going to have a lovely home with a lovely retired couple. She is going on Sunday to see if she settles and if so will have a super life for the rest of her days. I spoke to her owner today who is incredibly grateful and also very sad for these last few days will be hard for him as it has not been an easy decision for him. He knows she will be very happy with these kind and caring people but it is going to be quite a wrench for him. Life gives us some very tough decisions but there is no way he would have left till he had found the right home for Abby Rose. Hopefully we have done that.

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks again Merlin.I will keep everyone here up to date on how she's doing too. I believe she will be going to a better life, she will be the main focus and I think she will be extremely pampered too. Rightfully so :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdupre Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hugs to you, Mr CdeL. I know it's hard. And hurray for the lovely couple taking Abby Rose!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Ok, she has gone. Arrived mid morning, she clearly knew something was going on (the fact my other dog didn't come on the long trip was probably a give away).Bit nervous at first, but she was soon following her new owner around, and I have no doubt that she will settle in fine.Very sad, but very relieved that she has gone to a good home. And very happy that she will finally be number 1 doggie in a household where she gets ALL the attention.Thanks again Merlin. Donation on its way.

Merlin Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That's wonderful news Richard - I thought about the visit a lot today and had my fingers crossed! The donation that Richard is very kindly giving is for the Hope Association (not me!) without whom we may never have found these kind people who took Abby Rose into their home. I am sure they will keep us updated as to how she is getting on but I have little doubt that she is going to have a wonderful life with these folks. Great news!

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 They invited me back to see how she's getting on before I leave for the US, but I'm in two minds. I'd love to see her again, but I think it may be too unsettling for her. As the saying goes, best let sleeping dogs lie.But they're setting up a facebook account for her, and I'll be able to see pics and updates there, which will be fine I think.

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Talk about waiting for a bus and several turn up at once?Since she's been re-homed, I've had 3 offers in 24 hours for re-homing her. I need to remember where I've advertised and take them down.On sadder news, Monday at 3pm, my other dog will be put down :( My faithful friend...

Merlin Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Abby Rose has found a wonderful new home but it's heartening to know that others eventually came forward nonetheless. I am so sorry to hear about your other dear dog. Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 RichardBeing completely selfish about things, and bearing in mind there are lots of other dogs needing homes, is it possible for you to ask any of these people if they would take a dog other than Abby Rose? So sorry to hear about your other dog. Heartbreaking. Even talking about losing my little beagle makes my eyes fill up and my voice crack all these months later, despite having adopted 2 new dogs since then...
