OK. Here's my update. The precious little boy, who Helen has named Dexter, is going on Friday to live with my friend, who has graciously offered to take him. He came to see him and immediately fell in love, but was concerned that the transition might be hard. Since I already have two other dogs, Dexter is perfectly happy to be with them this week. My friend wanted to make sure that he would be able to "bond" the first couple of days so he wants to take him at the beginning of a weekend! He was concerned about leaving him while he is at work. I was glad for that. I have bathed him and gotten him a new collar so he looks very handsome! Dexter has decided to sleep on the floor with Lilly by my bed everynight. Of course Honey shows her dominance by getting on the bed! Dexter has not wet the floor a single time. He is a good boy and was so in need of love. He needs to leave before I don't let him go! Thanks for your nice reply. Any of us who love animals would have done the same thing. I'll give you some periodic updates. We've been granted visitation rights.
