That’s great news, ladybirder. Dear old thing can be happy in his final years.

[naomi24]

Splendid news! :o))))

Can you imagine the conversation with the vet, if the advice given by some here was followed.

"Hi, would you put my dog to sleep please?"

"Why?"

"He's old and deaf, and is getting grumpy"

[Mamyalynne]

Hope he'll be happy with his new family.

[ladybirder]

Thanks Clover and Naomi, he should be a contented boy with that couple.
RR is so overloaded with offers to foster and adopt at the moment they are not taking any more applications until they have cleared the backlog. Nero was obviously a priority as he should have been.

[ladybirder]

I'd place a bet on it mamya. And I'm not a betting person.

I can imagine Hoppy:-))

I read somewhere that more people are getting dogs now and I really hope they're doing it for the right reasons. They need to remember that dogs are for life - not just for lockdown.

true, Hopkirk, it didn't work when I suggested it for my granny either.

If you scroll down the comments to 11.04 today you can see who has adopted him, with pictures of him in the car.

I suspect people are taking advantage of the current crisis to get dogs because they know they will be at home to settle them in. Either that or a lot of folk need an incentive to go for a walk

23:34 DD - I couldn't care less if ALL of AB, not just you thought I was 'wrong', I don't, and that is all that matters to me. I still say they were scum to abandon an old, loyal dog like that and I will stand by it no matter how many others you gather to your side to agree with you that I was 'wrong'! Made you feel better did it to garner favour with the others?? Grow up.

[Theland]

A happy ending. Great.

[iluvmargie]

^ Agree.

Lol.

DD at 15:02 double lol.

[ladybirder]

Lots of people are fostering while they are at home and it's going to be a shock for some poor dogs that suddenly find themselves back in kennels again when the fosterer returns to work. Surely better to have spent time with a family albeit temporarily than to have stayed in kennels though. Then there are the adopted dogs who will suddenly find themselves alone all day.
I think RR might get a few returnees.
