Oh no Gary, the gold stars go to his new family. He's been dropped off and things looked to be going well. I can just hope that he loves his new family as much as I do. If that happens, things will be wonderful! I took him back to the vet one more time. He'd gained .25 pounds and had a normal temperature. He got the A-OK to move in to the new digs. And I must say they are fabulous digs! Maybe I'll move in next.
