Guest Munca_H Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 On Feb 25th I headed up to MD to meet some available greys. The first two were beautiful boys, the next was a funny little girl who took more to my mom than me. The fourth... well he came right over and leaned. Him & I walked a little bit, anytime I stopped he leaned. Mom came over to see what I thought. "Maybe" I thought, I didn't want to get too hopeful. Several of the volunteers there had noticed and said, yea you've been picked. Woo hoo! Signed went over & signed paperwork & loaded him in the car. The very first pic I was able to take of him while at a long light... geo-tagged as Shiloh, VA. We almost jumped out of the car. Shiloh... my who passed last year. What a sign! He was a MnG'er for the adoption kennel for almost year before he was sent up to find his home. He walked right in like he'd always been here. No pottying inside, almost no crying when I leave. AND really... this is the more important info down here.... He was formally known as Iruska Abner, 5/30/08 birthday. He's now known as Murphy. And I can't get pics loaded here at work, but links to fb pics.

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...

Guest twogreytkids Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 How wonderful to hear from Abner's (now Murphy's) Mom!!! Abner was a favorite with GPA/Daytona Beach's volunteers. He was a always a leaner and so gentle with everyone that he met, including the little ones. Thank you so much for giving him a home. From the looks of things, he found the right home. Give him an extra cookie for me. Marcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a larger bed would help? He does look terrified! It's a shame he doesn't know how to relax. A bigger bed? Only once he stops digging into the cushion. It's now been duct taped and flipped over. Yup, he's a Redneck Grey now. LOL Or maybe a new one if he digs and creates another hole.
