Jess and Lola

Annette, I've just caught this. What a lovely tale - it was obviously meant to be. Sometimes things happen for a reason. What's so touching is how much she means to you

Lovely Lola looks quite similar to Zee pictured below demanding a belly rub! You know they're settling when they play and bring you toys. It took Remus 3 months before he did that.

Yes its a good sign when they show signs of wanting to play im so made up x

Well she stayed with us all over christmas as I had wanted her to, we had two people come to see her who didnt think she was right for them, but we didnt mind this we liked having her around, then third week in January she was visited again by a lovely family who fell madly in love with her so we agreed that they could have her but i still kept her for another week finding it hard to think about letting her go but knowing in my heart that it would be best for Lola as the new owner was retired and had all the time in the world for her etc etc

The day we took her to him, she would not get in the back of the car, it was as if she sensed we were taking her away, it was awful, i cried all the way there, leaving her was heart-wrenching, the guilt was too much, but still i kept being told by eveyone that it was for the best, i cried all that night too (wine didnt help) and continued to feel bad for the rest of the week. I checked and she seemed to have settled in but was told she was off her food a bit and quiet, whoow that made me feel miles better NOT! anyway about a week or so later, i recieved a call that they thought something was wrong with her back legs (OMG) and as they had previously had dogs with dysplacia they thought this could be the problem so we waited for the results of the vet visit (in my mind i was going to take her back should i hear the worst) but eventually got the call to say all was well she was in good health etc ..... hmmm I was so happy she was ok but was dissapointed that she wasnt coming back to me as i thought in my heart this was going to happen, but sadly no, so i got on with hoping that she was going to be settled and happy at her new home.

Last Friday I recieved a text to say there was some bad news, but Lola was ok, so i rang straight away and was told that they would not be allowed to keep her as new landlord had laid down the rules and said she had to be gone in 2 weeks. I was over there the very next day ...... i knocked on their door and as he opened it she came over to me and sniffed my hand for split second, as if she didnt know me, then suddenly her whole body jerked with recognition and she went absolutely mental, she was jumping all over the place licking me and would not calm down, he said he had never seen her like this because she never really makes a fuss when people come in, but this was another thing, I was in tears seeing her again, he was very upset to let her go but i was not, i drove home very different from how i had a few weeks earler. On the journey home we decided that we could not do this to her again, she loved being with us and Jess, we would find and make the time for an extra member of our family, it wont be easy but who cares about easy? Jess was over the moon to see her back and its as if we have never been parted, Of course im a failed fosterer but i dont care, she looks into my eyes and i just melt, she loves me so much its plain to see and its the best thing we have done, we are not letting her go again and she is with us to stay.

Just thought id let you know, fate is a funny thing and spun its web with us on this occasion and now Lola does not need to worry about being taken away again.

Im so happy
