Well, we hoped it was to be his forever home. As I've mentioned in the past (or maybe I hadn't ??), Bentley has some fear and anxiety issues. I worked with a vet behaviorist and thru training and meds, he's made great progress. We believed it was time for him to move on. He went to a great home, but on the 5th day, he lashed out at the husband. It was with heavy hearts and many tears, the couple felt that he wasn't a good match for them. So on April 13th, I picked him back up. Bentley is GREAT with me; never any issues. Even though I wanted to take a little break between dogs, I couldn't turn my back on a special needs pup. There were no other options for him. On April 18th, I signed his adoption papers. He'll spend the rest of his days with me, where he can live out a nice quiet, stress free life, which is what he needs. |

You are THE BEST!!! Where is a happy dancing icon when I need it? Found some! Congratulations, Mark and Bentley! |
Lucky boy! Hard for you I bet, but good for him How are you handling it? Are you both settling? |
Brilliant- that is the best news for you both- I know you wanted a break but Bentley needed you just tooooo much. xxxx |
I am thrilled for you and Bentley!!!! Obviously, it was meant to be. He is a very lucky boy to be where is loved and with person he loves. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!! |
Hi Mark, How is Bentley doing? I’m so happy he is home with you! |
He's doing well. Think he has to go back on his pain meds. He has some arthritis in his back end, spondylosis in his spine, and what looks like a healed CCL injury. Sometimes he doesn't put much weight on his right rear. So back on the pain meds. Hate to give those long term but probably don't have a choice. But he seems happy. |
I am happy for both of you. |
Hmmmmm, another foster failure! Good for giving Bentley a soft landing. |
