I must be mad

[Annette4]

Friend of a friend is rehoming her 14yo JRT. He has until Sunday then going to a kennels which neither of us like the idea of so muggins here has said he can come to me at least in the short term (but let's face it he's 14yo...he'll be staying). Will need some careful introductions with some of the pack but can't face the idea of kennels at his age ?

 

[AmyMay]

Mad, maybe. But kind hearted, definitely ??

Why do they want rid?

 

[Flowerofthefen]

You are an absolute diamond to give him a home. Hope he settles well.

Well done for taking care of the poor old boy xx

They’re re-homing him at 14? ?

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Well done for taking him.
Whatever is the owner thinking of - rehoming a 14 yr old?

 

[cauda equina]

Perhaps they have no choice - illness, or going into a care home maybe?
They may be distraught about this, let's not be too harsh

There is always a choice. Rather than kennels, I would pts at his age. Fortunately a responsible person has stepped in.

I suppose I meant - no choice about giving him up
But yes, I agree with you about kennels, poor old chap

Poor old man, bless you for agreeing to take him.

Owner has moved from a busy home with some around most of the day and other dogs to a retirement flat and he's barking constantly while she is at work. She has tried dog walker, behaviourist etc but nothings helped and she's been told to get rid or move and family can't help?

 

[Clodagh]

I think you are very kind. And quite mad! ?

 

[EventingMum]

Jacks are wonderful and you are very kind!

 

[Annette4]

He's home, absolutely no drama with our 3, I had been worried about Dobby but no issues so far (still being very careful and only together supervised but still). He's very much like my old corgi Jack in temperament so him being laid back means they're leaving him be.

Errr Where are the photos?

I can't add them on my phone, will fire up the laptop tomorrow.

 

[Annette4]

Think I've cracked it

 

[AmyMay]

Oh bless him ??

 

[NinjaPony]

What a sweet little dog and what a kind thing to do. He’s very lucky to be able to live out his twilight years with you.

 

[Flowerofthefen]

He looks great for his age, a little cutie!!

 

[fiwen30]

Oh isn’t he gooooorgeous! Can’t get over those big ole ears.

 

[Moobli]

He’s so lovely, and so are you ?.

[HashRouge]

What a cutie!

 

[Bradsmum]

He's looking well for his age. Hope things remain calm as he settles in. Well done for giving him a home, such a kind act. Pssst one photo is never enough ..... Just saying

 

[Errin Paddywack]

He doesn't look anywhere near his age and his eyes are remarkably clear. Lovely little chap, one I would take in as well.

 

[DabDab]

Aww he looks cracking. Glad he's settled in well so far

 

[Goldenstar]

He is lovely , thank you for taking him in , I hope if I was in trouble someone would scoop up my dogs .

We had one slight issue yesterday, not thinking I had them in my office with me. Ginny can be a guard under my desk but as the other two don't fit she will just quietly grumble and they move off so it's never an issue. He went to bimble under, she grumbled then snapped at him. No harm done but she is now banned from under my desk until we can deal with the guarding as a whole. Nothing to worry about, we had far worse between Ginny and Fizz when Ginny first joined us, i have popped him a bed on my desk so i can avoid the issue while im working while we deal with the guarding issue as i cant pay as close attention as i would like. Hes very happy with the arrangement. He's loving our morning pack walks and I've popped him on a joint supplement just to try to support his mobility but otherwise he's just a happy chilled out soul.
