What a great "new twist" in this story!!! I'm so happy for all of you, including the mother of the twins. Sometimes things just work out beautifully.

I think if you give them a gift for the babies, which is where their priorities seem to lie right now, that would be appreciated.

If this were a perfect world, it would be filled with people like you.

You really want to know what is soooooo amazing about this story....apart from the obvious, Rusty...and him finding a home, and you the sweetest person in the planet....LOL......but, what I have witnessed with this particular thread.....and sometimes....not many others....

is.....the love we all have for EACH OTHER! and to the warm heart and soul in each of us.....not just regarding Rusty....but the love of caring and loving that everyone that has posted on this thread has shown.......

We all may not be "tactfull" all the time......or we may get annoyed with how people post, or how they raise their Yorkies......or how they breed.....or, or ,or.....whatever.......but, what really makes me happy with this thread.....is.......

-----there are really nice, genuine people here.......and that makes me smile.

---and of course, I am really happy Rusty is finally home too.

Guess who we seen in Target???? Amber, our neighbors girlfriend. Her mother is in from out of state and she had the twins out in the car, while Amber just ran in for diapers. Anyway...she seen us and came over to talk to us.

She was saying how she was just going to talk Eddie into coming over to acutally talk to us "nicely" and bring over all of Rusty's stuff if we wanted it. She said that it wasn't that they didn't want Rusty.....just they don't want us to think they don't care about him by leaving him out roaming. She said that she knew he must be happy at our house because he won't come home.

I told her that we would definitely take Rusty and take care of him......forever or even if they just want to give him time.........YAY!!!

Well, we are hoping he will come over tomorrow, but I don't know if he will or not.....I'm telling you, he is an odd man!!!

SOOOOOOOOOO......keep your fingers crossed for us and Rusty and please prayer that this man will see that Rusty being over here will save him the "stress and worry" and give Rusty a comfy and loving home!!!!

Yay! Yippee!!!! (just hope I'm not getting my hopes up).......

Oh, if they bring over all of his stuff, should I offer to pay them? I have a bag of toys set out for her (I use to sell Discovery Toys), but I didn't know what proper thing would be....or should I not even worry about it???

YAY! You get too keep him!!!

I don't think you should have to pay them anything. They aren't posting Rusty as For Sale, so you really have no obligations. If anything, they should be paying you for feeding him, lol

I have been following this thread from the get go, I am so happy you get to keep Rusty!! He looks like he belongs with you and your family!

kshook90 · 11-05-2006, 11:07 AM

I dont see why the owner had a problem if with the dog coming over, especially once you calmed him down. I think that you should just call him and talk to him, maybe you can find out if the dog can come over and play with your dogs for the day, so that he does not disturbe the babies.

Jenn218 · 11-05-2006, 02:04 PM

Awwww.......that was so nice to say and post! My family and I aren't angels for doing this....we are only doing what most everyone else would have done in our situation..........YOU all on YT are the angels for giving me adivce and support and for praying and thinking of us and Rusty during this all! I really don't know what we would do without you all!

Jenn218 · 11-05-2006, 02:11 PM

Updating.......

Still no word from the neighbors today.......I am not certain when her MIL was leaving.......and I doubt if she had very much luck w/ talking him into coming over to sit and chat!

We did see a truck pull part of the way down our drive (it was the color of theirs), but Rusty and our German Sheppard ran up there, but the truck just backed all the way out. I don't know if it was our neighbor coming and then chickened out or what??

Rusty is still here, so I don't know. I don't mind to have his stuff.....it would be good for him, I guess, but we don't necessarily need it. I just think it would be a good "closure" for them and their way of "cleaning their hands" of him.....even though he is soooo well behaved over here!

We have offered to "foster" him or watch him if needed......and have told him every chance we got that Rusty was no bother and that in fact, it was nice for him to be around. (he plays so well w/ all of our dogs, is very well behaved and very loveable). I don't know why the neighbor is bothered w/ him being over.....especially since we don't mind and he has one numerous occassions talked about hauling him off to dump him somewhere or shoot him. I'm telling ya.......he seems alittle off. I know he cares for Rusty, but I just don't know.........I hope he knows that we would give him a good home.

Jenn,
I'm loving this thread and admiring you so much. You are my new role model for being tactful in the face of my enemies.

Since you were thinking about giving those toys to your neighbors, why not go over there and hand them to them. Saying (tactfully) whatever you want to say about "why" you want them to have them. Don't mention Rusty. That may be the ice breaker they need to finally say yes to your ownership. The guy is probably too embarrassed now to let him go after saying all of that crap about wanting him.

Geez, you have been held in suspension for too long. Wish you could get closure on this.

I'm saying my prayers for you too. Good luck and please please keep us updated even if it is status quo.

Hugs for you and your family (4-footed ones included.)
Lou

I just read this thread from the first post and I am sitting here in my office
with tears in my eyes. Rusty seemed to be looking for the attention and love
he needs and found that with you and your loving family. How wonderful for both of you." Jenn, this would make a great children's book".

I think the owners are releaved to know he has the kind of home he deserves. I hope they let him continue living with you and your family and do not try and get him later. He is one lucky pup. I am sure he knows that. He is a beautiful lab and certainly is confortable in you home which says alot for you. God bless you for your kindness. Much happiness to all of you.

do you still have him ??

Jenn218 · 11-07-2006, 03:03 PM

Update:

We still have Rusty......he hasn't been "home" in so long and we haven't seen or heard from the neighbors. When I spoke w/ her last (at Target last week), she had said that her mother was in from out of state, so we are waiting awhile before we go over there.

We thought our neighbor pulled into our driveway over the weekend (Sunday, I think), but was too afraid to come down here or something. Anyway, we found it was my cousin....he is back from the Marines for awhile and was just out driving around w/ a "girlfriend" showing her where everyone lived, etc. We live WAY out from town, so thought it was silly that he didn't come down all the way....but he said he seen a few cars and were afraid we had company (as if that mattered).

Anyway, back to Rusty.....he is doing good. He did growl at my daughter last night because she got on to him over eating our German Sheppards food....I got on to him and he stayed outside for awhile. When he was allowed to come back in, he was her buddy......he knew he did something wrong. It is funny how smart dogs are! --smarter than most people I know! HA! He has been fine ever since then.....don't know what his deal was???

My parents stopped by last night and of course, Rusty didn't want them to get out of the car and Luke was right there with his big head in their car (he is a biiiiigggg boy)....but once they got out and come in, Rusty just LOVED my Dad!!! I think my Dad liked him too. My Dad needs a dog and wants one, just hasn't found one (he always looks at shelters). I told him he ought to take Rusty (even though we would miss him)....and then if the neighbors ever came for him, we wouldn't have him....that is horrible, isn't it??!!!

But, Rusty is still here and still getting spoiled rotten (like all the children and furchildren that come into my house).

red98vett · 11-07-2006, 03:07 PM

Yorkiesforever · 11-07-2006, 05:04 PM

I TOO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS THREAD AND AM GLAD TO KNOW YOU STILL HAVE RUSTY. IT IS A HORRIBLE THING BUT RATHER SEE HIM DISAPPEAR TO A GREAT FAMILY THEN GO BACK TO THE ONE HE DOESN'T LIKE.

Thorsmomma · 11-07-2006, 05:13 PM
