A Decision for Reggie

The Lady, her dog Scruffy and her friend arrived early. During our visit, I did my best to not like the Lady and try to talk her out of liking Reggie/Sherlock.  

But I realized about an hour after she was here, that in many ways she was like me in how she felt and cared about her dogs.  And as hard as I tried, and believe me I tried, I felt I had to give her a chance at giving Reggie a forever home.

It may not have been what was best for me, because I'd gotten quite attached to the dog that hardly wagged his tail, who followed me everywhere and often rested his head on my knee. But Reggie trusted me from the first day I met him in November to keep him safe and make the best decisions for him.  And I felt that The Lady should have the chance to make the same best decisions for him too.

I promised The Lady that I would take Reggie back if it didn't work out and I let Lab Rescue know that too. All I can do now is hope that it goes well, and keep the door open just in case.

Letting Reggie go today has been harder than I thought it would be.  I will and do really miss him.

But the e-mail that's below, that I received from Lab Rescue just a few minutes ago, and a voice mail has helped.

So far, so good with Sherlock.   He made it home and was getting settled at Linda’s house.  It appears Scruffy is underfoot a bit, but, is surviving too.   The big test will come when they are left alone.  Who knows....they may do pretty well!   Linda use to raise dogs and is still very busy with dogs in many functions.    I know she will provide a great place for Sherlock.  I will keep you informed with Sherlock’s status.   I did ask for photos once they were settled so I could share them with you!

Take care and I will for sure keep you informed!
