Being Part of Jameson's Story

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.

  2. He'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.

    I 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!

  14. We 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.

    Like Todd, we all love the cold too and don't want to come inside when Mom calls us.

    I vote we send the cold back to Canada. They are used to it there!
