Thumper is in Maryland We drove halfway to Maryland and met Thumper's new mom. I appreciate all the people that offered to help get Thumper to his new home but I really wanted to be the one to take him. I already feel like I let him down by not keeping him and I didn't want him to feel completely abandoned by us. Please say a little prayer for this little guy. Pray that his adjustment will be speedy and easy on him. The lady that adopted him seemed so nice and very knowledgable about reteaching behaviors. I am just so afraid that he feels sad and scared tonight. Tori, my five year old is very upset also. He had really bonded with her and she with him. She misses that little guy something awful, which just makes me all the sadder. If you are new to Thumper's story and wonder why we did not keep him, he had a great fear of strangers and we have 4 kids and kids constantly streaming in and out of our house. He was constantly upset by all the visitors. I think the idea of helping transport rescue animals to their new homes is a great one and I will volunteer to drive an animal any time I am needed. Thanks to all who have kept Thumper in your thoughts. I will keep you updated as to his progress.
