Just when I was not minding being outside again, the cold weather returned to our corner of Virginia. Todd of course doesn't care about the change in temperatures. He's only worried about the gangs of pillaging-marauding deer on our property.
Thank-you all for your kind words as we welcomed Jameson to our household. The Coordinator for the rescue found a new foster home for him. By Thursday an initially very nervous and unsure Jameson was finding his footing, and was settling in. He was eating again, and had warmed up to Carl and my brother (he seems a little wary around men). By Friday, many of my concerns about Jameson staying with us were starting to pass as he and Todd seem fine together.
As we rounded the corner to Saturday morning, the day it was to be decided if he should stay or go to the new foster home, we decided that he could/should stay. After the work I know it took to find a new foster home for Jameson, the Coordinator from the rescue could not have been a better sounding-board in talking this through and more supportive of his staying until he finds his forever home.
I think we can all agree that Jameson had been dealt a bad hand. And I am looking forward to being part of his story and helping him find his way to his forever home.
He will be so cared for with you and the others, maybe this is where he will stay.Another darling gorgeous boy.
ReplyDeleteHe's a beautiful boy! I'm so happy he's staying with you until he finds his forever. :) He's in wonderful hands. Also, i can see Todd is busy and devoted to his watchful duties.
ReplyDeleteI also want to let you know, Kim, that i've deactivated my fb account for awhile. It's become difficult to be on with so much awful going on everywhere. I plan to visit you here often. I've neglected Blogger for too long and am glad to be back! Sorry to fill this space with this, but i wasn't sure where else to put it, and i don't want to lose touch with you!
His hand suddenly became a lot better when he landed with you!
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will find him a furever home before we all get too attached. For now, he's in the best place he can be.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful Kim! He will learn to know what love is and to trust,,,, its all part of his story. He looks very content to just be there!

My feeling is that he will never find such a perfect forever home, as the one at Golden Pines.
ReplyDeleteSo happy he's staying with you. Poor dog didn't need another change.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy he is staying with you! I just had a feeling he would fit in just fine!
ReplyDeleteHello, I am happy Jameson will be staying with you. So many changes have to have the poor dog feeling upset. I think he will love being part of your family. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteWe're happy to hear that Jameson will be staying with you until he finds his forever home. He knows he is loved and safe with you.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a wonderful decision for Jameson. I look forward to seeing how his story continues to get better.
ReplyDeleteGetting on Todd's good side was a good move.
ReplyDeleteAdjustment for this poor boy could not be easy, but I am glad to read that he has a home with you until a forever situation comes about.
ReplyDeleteWe think that was the right decision for Jameson to stay right there with you where he is surrounded by good care and lots of love.
ReplyDeleteLike Todd, we all love the cold too and don't want to come inside when Mom calls us.

I'd hoped that would happen :-).
ReplyDeleteAwww Kim! You are amazing!! XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteJameson won out on this one, so much better to keep the place you know that be sent again to a new place and have to start from square one in getting accustomed to new surroundings. You never know Todd may get too be one of Jameson's best buds.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy that Jameson will be staying with you for now.

Jameson just caught a good break! So glad he will remain with you at Golden Pines. He is a real cutie.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very pretty dog, Kim.
ReplyDeleteI vote we send the cold back to Canada. They are used to it there!
Be safe, stay warm and God bless.
Jameson couldn’t have found a better place to land . . .
ReplyDeleteHappy Days!
I'm so glad you could take him in. I know he couldn't be in a better place for now. Maybe you will find a good home for him, but for now, he needs love and peace.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you kept Jameson. He does not need more changes until he finds his forever home.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he isn't going to be uprooted again. The poor guy. He needs some stability.
