Hi All,
The ad in the paper for brocky has been answered by mostly dodgy losers who were pretty offensive and thought he was my burden to bare. They were put right as I am fairly protective of my boys.
One lady has rung up and sounds genuine. She is coming to visit him tomorrow night and then I will be going to visit her if that goes ok. I wanted her to meet Brocky at my place as if we went there he would just sniff everywhere and she wouldnt get to see his gentle lving nature. For all the oldbies at fostering if I am going about it all the wrong way, perhaps tell me about it later. Not now if that is ok. Appreciate the help though.
I just wanted to write that I am absolutely devastated by the thought of him leaving and I know Rommel will be upset but the nice lady has three teenage kids who really miss their old cocker Tali and dearly want another. Brocky can get so much more from them than little old me juggling the two crazy guys. In the time that I have had him though I have tried my absolute hardest to make him feel like not all people are horrible and that he is the most special guy in the world and he has lots to live for. This has been at the expense of time with Rommel but he gets to sleep in my bed in the mornings so that makes up for it. Brocky sleeps in the garage but I dont care about the hair as he will be with me tonight.
He has been the best influence on Rommel and has taught him how to behave in the best possible way and how to stop whining when I walk out of the house or go to work. On the first day they were hot and cold but this morning when I left for work they were in the backyard on their backs having a slap fight. Makes a nice change from him clawing at the fence howling.
The biggest highlight for me have been when I first went to meet him and the pound lady said that he will bite me and all he did was lick me and wag his tail.
To this very day I havent seen his tail stop.
I hope it never does.
