Happy ending for Tyson! I'm positively thrilled.

I took him to the vet's office for his initial shots and an exam. They admitted him to do the surgery this morning- his neutering. I was to pick him up tomorrow and take him to rescue. At the vet's office, I did make it very clear that he was off to JRT rescue when he was done with his surgery.

I got a call this morning from one of the vet techs there. She said her mom had a Jack Russell Terrier and would love to have another one. She called her mom and invited her to meet the dog. The mother went. They both decided that they loved the dog and wanted to know if they could keep Tyson. They would happily pay for his surgery and his medical fees. I said that would delight me.

I did go to the vet's office just now. I met the vet tech, and got to see Tyson as he was recovering from his anesthesia. We let him out of his cage, and he did crawl up into her lap and cover her with kisses - certainly more than he gave me. So I handed over his papers without a qualm. I did tell her that I would be happy to put her into touch with the local JRT rescue gentleman should she find Tyson too much to handle or if she wanted more JRTs. I invited them to call me for any reason about him, and they have my phone number. The mom is out shopping for a dog crate and a nice pillow bed for him to sleep in.

I'm positively thrilled at his happy ending. I wish all dogs could be so happy.  ¶ 1:36 PM
