If I wasn't so far away, I would try and talk my husband into fostering...........but it would be hard as I fail everytime I have done it. I know many of us are already attached to him
That is so kind of you. I am currently in the process of asking my husband if we can take him in. He would be in our shop which is next to the house but it will be alot better than outside. I cannot believe that no one has called about him. His picture is in the weekly insert that goes in 2,500 mailboxes and it's up on our local website. I was sure a few people would call. I didn't even mention his health troubles in the ad. I figured that I could tell people when and if they called.
I've already asked my husband and he is mad right now but I'm hoping that he will soften up over the next few hours. I will still have to find him his furrever home though. I'm fairly certain that Barney will be able to come here but I'll know for sure by tomorrow after we talk about it some more.

Angela has offered to buy him a new little heater that I can put in the shop for him which is great.

I went over there after work and we bathed him again. I swear he likes it! The water is nice and warm and then he washes himself afterwards. Tonight he was washing his back legs which he hasn't attempted before so we were happy to see that.

Angela said that today when she got home and went into see him, he was laying on his side and looked very comfortable. Then he got up and stretched one of his back legs straight out. So cute.

She bought him some new food and he loves it. She found some wet food at the pet store with a low glycemic level by Merrick and it has little pieces of carrots and stuff, like a stew. She got alot of different flavours. She also got some Orijin dry food and he likes that too. She said he pigged out on it today and his little tummy was huge because he ate so much. lol

That's the scoop. I'm just so relieved that he tested negative. I called the vet from work yesterday afternoon because I thought this test was usually an inhouse test but the receptionist said they sent it off by courrier to have the thyroid tested and the felv/fiv was done there as well so that is why we had to wait. It seemed like forever but it was worth the wait.

Candace, I agree, the fact that he hasn't lost any weight is good and I need to be grateful for that.
