revamp Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Rocky went to his foster home yesterday, where he'll spend a week or two living with cats and kids and getting a start on house manners before coming to live with me permanently. His foster mom sent me some pics last night which I thought I'd share with the forum as a special thanks for all of your words of wisdom and tips shared in the "what did you wish you knew" thread. Now, heeeere's Rocky! Yay! Quote ~Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revamp Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thank you for all of the kind comments. To say that I am excited would be a major understatement. He's doing fantastic in foster so far, except that i have been informed that he is "an extremely messy drinker" and I might want to ensure there is a sizable rug under the water bowl. I also received an update this morning that he is "determined to follow through on his ideas" when it comes to getting on people beds, so he is working on that. He is showing complete indifference to the cats and is enjoying playing with stuffies. Ooh, I can hardly wait! Collars and coats have been ordered! (although I haven't heard back from NancyB yet).

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revamp Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Small update: He's coming home this Friday! His foster mom says he's doing so well that there's no reason to keep him any longer. Stairs? Piece of cake. Crate training? Sleeping through the night and only a couple whimpers during the day. Cats? Who cares about cats? Housebreaking? No problem. Toys and beds and snuggles and being completely spoiled? Getting used to it. Quote ~Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
