FANTASTIC! So fantastic that Toby is going to his new home on Monday morning. When the lady came Toby was immediately smitten with her and sat on her knee which immediately made me think she was the one, he sat with her, gave her a kiss, sniffed Teddy, her bichon frise and was so well behaved. I told the lady all about Toby, his little quirks, to which she didn't even care about. Now they do say the dog chooses the owner and Toby definitely chose her. So after half an hour, she left looking very happy with the visit and so was Toby who was happy all day after that.
In the afternoon she had got back to Rebecca saying she would like to adopt Toby and is also willing to adopt a lhasa or shih tzu should we ever get another one in. Smiles were really all round. Now because Toby is looking a little scruffy the initial plan was to get him cut on Thursday and take him on Friday. The lady was only disappointed in one thing, she couldn't get him sooner as she has all next week off work and wanted to spend time with him. After explaining it was only to sort his hair out she was quite happy to do that herself, even if it did involve getting bit for it, as Toby really has something against clippers. So following all this we decided to arrange a time on Monday to take him to his new home! So 10 oclock it is. My little Christmas boy is going to a new home. He had a bath last night and smells all nice now and is looking very handsome indeed.
Now it is fair to say Toby has certainly attached to me more than I've attached to him but I still feel it will be sad seeing him go. He is such a loyal young boy and the house will definitely be different without him.
Peggy is still needing her new home though so I don't think any more foster dogs are planning to come until she goes... or at least until theirs an emergency dog coming in. Thats rescue life for you though, you never know whats going to happen next.
Now I will update on monday when we will be one dog less.
Lucy, Tinks, Sally, Peggy and Toby
