Horsefeathers! Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 My husband was just saying tonight how he could really get attached to Fifty. He just couldn't imagine how anyone could be so annoyed with him as to get rid of him. Fifty has been a bundle of joy to us, though he certainly can wear a body out trying to keep up with him. Hubby was saying (can you believe this??) that he almost doesn't want to let Fifty go. Of course, reality set in and he realized, "oh yeah... there are nine already." Still, if Fifty stayed here much longer, he would become another permanent resident. I pointed out to DH that I'm sure another foster would need our help sometime in the future and that we need to keep a spot open for them. Of course, he agreed (that's only because I'm always right *ahem*cough*). It is really easy to get attached, though. Anyway, what's funny about all this is that my friend has really taken a fancy to Fifty. This is the friend that recently lost Razzle. It's weird that Fifty came to me the very day after Razzle died. My friend took Razzle's death really hard and she said NO MORE dogs (she has two others, but meant she was never, ever, ever, ever going to adopt another and go through that h*ll again). She looked at Fifty and said something like, "ya, he's cute, but NO!!" even though I never even suggested or hinted she take him. Fifty goes with me when I hang out at her house and she gets the biggest kick out of watching him go. He really makes her laugh. Everything he does reminds her of Razzle. Really, I swear that if a dog can be reincarnated as another dog, Fifty is Razzle, only in a much smaller package. The resemblence in their characters and mannerisms is uncanny. As it is, she's just done fallen in love with Fifty. I mentioned that I have a couple of other potential adopters interested in him and she just can't bear to see him go. She told me tonight that she's decided she must have him. He plays so well with Devin and she doesn't want to see them separated (good excuse *snicker*) and she's tired of watching her two cranky old women (the other dogs) b*tch at each other all the time. See, Razzle used to have the other two dogs playing, but since he's gone, it's like they can't stand each other. Fifty has them playing again. Fifty is spending the night with her tonight (along with Devin for the sake of familiarity and companionship), but will likely stay with me for another week or so until his sutures are out and I can do a bit of basic clicker training. We weren't able to get much done after the clicker came because the tummy bug hit and giving treats seemed like a bad idea. If Fifty were going anywhere else, I'd keep him with me much longer to work a bit more in depth on his training, but with her, I'll see him frequently and still intend to clicker train with him. She has a fenced yard (which is a must for Fifty). I'm so thrilled. I'll get to see him all the time and still get to work with him. It's a perfect match. She's not the type to get freaked out over a chewed up shoe or a chewed up couch corner. It's a good thing, too... Anyway, wish them luck! I'm just thrilled! :D Quote
