I'm feeling absolutely horrible right now...

[LoveMyKees]

I'm a wreck. For those of you who know we brought home a foster Kees yesterday, thats what its about.

Him and Max were finally starting to get along well and then my dad got home. Words can't describe how angry he was and all around hurt that we deliberately disobeyed him. In the midst of this is the puppy (well one year old), and I can't believe we've brought him into this situation. For the first time this dog is happy, and we won't be able to keep him.

I've thought about it and decided that the longer he stays here we will only be doing more harm then good. I'm crying as I type this, because I know what an unpleasant experience this is for all of us, and its stressing him out. I can't believe I let it happen to him, he doesn't deserve this...please don't bash me, we were only trying to help this dog and its gone completely out of control. He's going to have to find another foster family and its entirely our fault, unless some miracle happens and things suddenly change.

I just needed to let that all out.

I'm sorry.

Who would bash you? You guys tried, you knew there was a possibility it wouldn't work when you brought him home, so he has to go to another foster...........there are far worse things than trying to help.

(((((((HUGS))))))) Chin up, I bet there is a perfect foster waiting for a young, healthy, handsome Kees right around the corner

I'm sorry, too. Keep your chin up!

Jordan.... god.. I dunno what to say. (((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))) I was hoping SO hard that your dad would come around.

 

[RedyreRottweilers]

So sorry to hear, I hope you get it worked out for the dog.

{{{{ hugs }}}} and chin up as well.. Not all dogs work in all situations. With conflicts in the home, you are actually doing what is right for the dog.

You mean Dad forbade you to get another dog and you did?

Your heart was in the right place and you cared. Hopefully once you Dad sees that you are actively looking for a new home (for the dog, of course he'll calm down.

As a parent I can understand. My daughter really wants a rat. I absolutely detest them and told her no way in h.e.l.l. can she have a rat----hamster, guinea pig, rabbit I can handle.

If she turned around and came home with one I'd be livid. And I'd make sure it was gone the next day.

Don't know you family situation but hopefully he'll come around and understand you were only trying to save the dog.

I'll be much happier if my kids came home with strays than with drugs or a police escort

(((((hugs))))) for you.

Kees . . . . I'm so sorry . . . . .

You took a chance - and I'll not fault you for that. Compassion is never a mistake, and you sound like you take after your mother's side

 

[a.baker]

I'm sorry your dad feels that way. My dad and father in law are like this too. As we grow older they grow softer. I hope you find a home for the dog soon... hugs.

 

[bubbatd]

You tried and to that I give you praise . Find another good foster shouldn't be too hard , ( Hugs )

 

[LoveMyKees]

Thanks for the support everyone. Today things seem like they're getting a little bit better. I'm not going to get too far ahead of myself and say that my dad is falling in love with him, but he's definitely pulled in just like we were. Even he can't resist petting him.

Since we are just his fosters, we have to bring him in on Saturday for the pet adoption show, so maybe he will be able to find a really loving home I keep forgetting that we're only his fosters, because we had that hope way way down that my dad would cave in and let us keep him. Even my younger brother has fallen in love.

I'm trying not to get too attached, but if you guys saw how adorable and willing to please me he is you'd see how impossible it is

I'm sorry---I hope all works out for everyone....and maybe your Dad will come around. If not, you still have given this pup a good home for as long as he is with you.
