Well guess who's sitting in my lap as I write this?!?!?!

Its Rascal!!!! Now tentatively named Tobi. I had a very emotional day and was a bucket of tears all morning when I was thinking about him leaving. I got all of his stuff gathered that I bought him at Petsmart and he was ready to go. But at around 1:30, the girl came in very upset and told me her rott is very, very sick and she couldn't bring him in for the intro today. I talked to her for awhile and she said she wouldn't feel right getting a new dog while her baby is so sick. He had to be on fluids and has had diarrhea and throwing up. This girl is the sweetest thing in the world. Both of her parents are disabled and she takes care of them and their animals (they live next door to her). She made me cry because I felt so bad about the whole situation. I told her I'd take Rascal (Tobi) home for a couple days to see if her rottie got better. I told her if it was any longer though, I'd get too attached.

So now Tobi has met all three of my animals and things are going smoothly. Lolly seems to like him. She's a bit nervous and jumpy but play bowed to him right away. Reece and Tobi are having the time of their lives licking each other's faces and mounting each other nonstop.

I bought Tobi a diaper but it was too small so I exchanged it for the next size. Now this one is a little big and keeps slipping down a little. I hope to eliminate the need for diapers ASAP. He does beautifully in a crate. I had him in a crate in the cattery for 3 hours this morning while I cleaned. He sat there quietly watching me. When I brought him up front, he growled at the executive director of the shelter He's a goof ball. His growl sounds like a purr. Oh yeah, at Petsmart today he kept challenging a pitbull. It was so funny. He really loves all dogs and if he's near them, he'll just smell them and mount them, but she was at a distance so he was acting tough. He stands on his hind legs and growls so he looks bigger OH and I was talking to the pit's owner and he's going to come in and see if he can adopt Kayla!!

So as of now, I have Tobi as a foster. I will decide in a week or two if he is permanent. It really depends on Romeo the rottie and if he gets better soon. I will post some pics of the gang tonight!
