Well, as most of you know I've sadly had to rehome Rocky. But as much as I've been crying and missing the li'l guy, I think I did what's best.
I actually almost called today and asked for him back... but I know things won't get better if I did that.
I'm feeling better about the big blow that my heart took. Yesterday I cried so much that my eyes feel "dried up". I really, really miss Rocky.
But there's some good news, although it may be a little early and I may be jumping into things a little soon:
But there's this dog named Charlie. I've always had my eye on him on petfinder. Whenever Rocky was here and he was asleep or I had some free time, I'd sometimes browse petfinder. I've always been pretty fond of Charlie.
He's housetrained, 2 year old adult male, neutered, past his nipping stage. And from what I hear, extremely sweet. Seems perfect.
So anyway, I decided, why not give the foster parent an email. I did, and she emailed me back surprisingly quickly. Well, things went as they did and we talked for a while and I decided to send in an application.
She emailed me back saying that my application looked good. And I gave her my phone number to call me. She did, and we talked and talked. And I explained what happened to Rocky-- and she seemed to be pretty sympathetic and understanding about it. Very nice person.
So anyway, now it's to the point where she's going to call my vet for a reference and she's going to email me back with the results and after that, friday is a planned home-visit, with Charlie. If things work out then, then Charlie will be mine.
I will never forget about Rocky though. He's a Rock in my heart. The breeder said it was alright that I call periodically to check on Rocky and I plan on doing exactly that. And my dad said I could even go and visit him every once in a while. And most of all, I know he's in some pretty good hands.
I think that this could be good. I save a life, Charlie, and he helps me sort of... recover.
What do you think?
This is a picture of him:
He's a chocolate lab/pitbull mix.
