Marlene 14,113 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 One more sleep with my foster family.......my forever Mama is coming to get me tomorrow. I had to have a bath. Foster Mama has already made me enough food for a couple of weeks, got me a new collar and leash, and some new toys to go with my favorites I'm taking with me. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marlene 14,113 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I've never had a situation like this........he's going to be practically across the street for a few days. If his Forever Mama calls me or comes by to say he's mopey or worried......I will die! It's much better for him not to see me again (at least not this soon) - it would just confuse him. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I hope so. 1 hour ago, Summerangel said: How are you Marlene, I bet you're missing him... I am missing him - mornings were fun with him barking at me. "Get up! Let's eat! C'mon Shorty....let's play!" and then an after breakfast snuggle. I have resisted picking up the phone to check on him but don't know how long I can do that. Now news is good news - right? 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
missy dawn 22,220 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 It would make you feel better to check on him, go ahead ...pick up the phone, and you'll see, you'll feel better. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've already had a report from one of my eyewitness spies :-) Cowboy's story is known all over the neighborhood......one fellow in particular took a personal interest (they have 3 rescue Tzus) ran into Cowboy and his new Mama on a walk this morning. He said "she was sooooo happy and Cowboy seemed fine". I will check sometime today........I forgot to give her his halter so will call and drop it off (sight unseen by Cowboy). 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie's Haven 17,464 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am curious did they keep his name? Hopefully as it fits his personality. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I wondered that too would they change his name so he felt like theirs 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlene 14,113 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 They are keeping the name Cowboy (he responds to it) but adding "Wally". The tiny beach town we are in is Waldport - the family has had a beach house here for many years so they added Wally. I went by to drop off his halter and his Mama popped her head out of the upstairs window. She said he is doing great! Eating, sleeping, playing, getting into a little trouble (found a treat bag and was head first into it when apprehended). His new Mama is here visiting with her own Mom who is 79 - Mama looked around last night, Cowboy had left her side. He had found "Grandma" who had already gone to bed and hopped up with her. He was READY to go to bed and found a likely spot. He has always liked bedtime - I think it's his favorite time of day. It doesn't sound like he's had a moment of being sad or worried...........sooooo glad. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Now that's wonderful news and here all his Aunties were worried about him. Cheeky monkey getting into treats and making grandma's bed his now .....that made me chuckle...He'll we just fine in his fur ever home 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlene 14,113 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 No matter, the age of the family that adopts one of my fosters.....I always love it when there is a Grandma involved. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missysmom 24,975 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Soo happy for Cowboy Wally, what a cute add to his name!! Sounds like he found the perfect furever home! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crinkly 15,586 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 So glad he is settling in. Grandmas spoil you! That is what they are for! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Summerangel 18,997 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I agree, grandmas are the best.. It was lovely to hear about his little antics already, he's got his feet well and truly under the table. A happy ending and what a bonus you was part of making this happen for him... Enjoy cowboy ? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlene 14,113 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Cowboy continues to do well and doesn't seem to be sad, mopey or confused. His schedule continues just about the same as it was here. He is loving having a Grandma in the house - she rests quite a bit. Does word puzzles, watches TV, naps so Cowboy keeps her company. No potty accidents, no destructive behavior. His new behavior is when given tiny milk-bone dog treats......he hides them in a corner of the room. His Mama said - it's always 2 and there are 2 in every corner of the big kitchen living room. He accepts having his face washed, is eating like a champ and loves riding in the car. It's nice that his new lifestyle is very much like our lifestyle. I miss him.......and so does the Big Guy. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
