BK goes home

[bk_blue]

Today Dad came and picked up BK form my house to go back to his "home"ie. dad's place. It was very sad and I cried after he left, and just thinking about it makes me teary. However I do believe it was for the best. I will not have him inside all the time because he needs to be outside lots, and I am way too paranoid about him escaping and getting run over if I leave him out. In addition to the damage he did to the house, he has significantly widened what was previously a tiny gap into next door's fence, so he can stickybeak (they love him and think he's an angel). Curry powder didn't work on this, I tried it!
So I can still see him and take him out whenever I want, and I also know this is the best thing for him, to be back where he is familiar with things and can't escape, plus he also has Rinny for company. I know I did the right thing, and some of you might think I didn't try hard enough, but apart from building new fences everywhere and taking the plastic weatherboards off the whole house so he can't chew them, which I have no say in as it's not my house, there's nothing else I can think of that would contain him. :cry:

It's ok BK! If it was for the best, then you shouldn't feel guilty! Think, now he has the outdoors, Rinny, and an unescapable garden! :wink: Be happy! Smile! :D BK is very happy where he is now, and you get to visit him whenever you want... :D

Just question, is BK staying there, forever? OR is he coming back later when there are improvments? :oops:

Anyway, SMILE! Bk is VERY happy where he is! :D :D :D

I didn't know you were having problems with him, and I'm so sorry. It's not like you gave him away, he just moved to your other home that will be much safer for him. Take care.

I think it was evident from your posts how much you cared about and worried over BK. You have his best interests at heart and want him to be safe and secure. There is NOTHING wrong in that.

bk -- that was so unselfish and caring. I am really sorry that you had to do that; but he's safe and secure (the little escape artist). I feel your heartbreak. We have three that absolutely will NOT stay anyplace that they consider confinement. It's frustrating. Nothing works. Electric fence doesn't slow them down; one just grabs it with his mouth and breaks it into or pulls it down.

You can see him any time and not be stressed everytime you leave the house wondering if he'll escape or tear the house down.

Again, sorry you had to do that --- chin up, he's still yours, you can see him anytime.

Big hugs to you, BK....I know this hurts. The others are right though; it IS best, as you know.

Sorry about that, but it sound like he has a WONDERFUL home. Nice that you get to see him whenever you want.

Bk will be happier :) How far is it from your house to your dad's?

[bk_blue]

Thanks everyone. You guys made me feel a lot better about this! :angel:

It's not far to dad's house. I could go over there every day if I wanted to and see him, play with him, take him out... in fact I'm going there today for a BBQ... there's not much chance that he'll come back, because he's too destructive and nothing has worked to stop him from being that way. I wish he was normal and would just play with dog toys!!! I'm lucky that Mum is my landlord and not a real estate agent, otherwise I'd have to cough up to get the damaged weatherboards fixed. He was so happy to see Dad yesterday- his whole rear end was swaying- and Dad was happy to see him, and I know he'll be looked after there. :fadein:

It's sooo great that your Dad and BK have such a great relashionship! :D I'm sure BK will be the happiest little buger in all of Australia! :D
