Yesterday was eventful. I gained another doggo AND another vehicle somehow. I ’m suppo sed to only be fostering the dog, but he’s already attached to me like glue. Some lady made an appoin tment to put have him put down at the local vet. Apparently s he’s going thru a divorce and neither of them wanted him. The vet refused, “I’m not putting down a perfectly good 4 yr old shepherd, because you no lo nger want him”. He’s such a sweet boy, I can’t even fathom why anyone would do that.
The T-Bird was my f ather’s and my sister is putting his house on the market this week (He’s been o n hospice care for a few weeks now) .

You’re certainly going to stand out in Roswell without the ubiquitous doodle.

Kudos to that vet!!! And that couple should be banned from future dog ownership.
Best wishes to your father, and to your entire family - it’s a tough time.

You’re a good person, and the doggo can apparently tell.

Best wishes to your family. Sounds like that dog chose you though. They can tell good people when they meet them.

Well neither you nor I wants them, so we should just have them put down, because it’s convenient.

Hospice care is always a tough scenario. I went through that with my Grandpa that I was quite close with. Visit often and make the time count as much as you can. If he’s up to it and the facility allows it maybe bring the new pups with you. Maybe even roll the car by so he can see it. I was lucky that my GP had some quite lucid hours and decent mobility here and there; when he was less lucid he thought I was my Dad (at any point from 16-35) . I just rolled with it. It’s a chance to remember the good times and forgive the not so great times.

I doubt that dog is going to be leaving for a looooong time. He seems like a wonderful dog and I’m sure he will make a great addition to your family.
That t-bird is beautiful as well.

Yeah it’ s rough. Sometime’s he thinks he is still in the A rmy, other times he thinks it’s 1987. He never talked much about his Army days, so it’s interesting to hear him relive it. Someday’s he thinks he at his house, others he knows where he is.
His T-Bird has been sitting for about 15 years. I got it running, and I was planning to take it up there and show him. Now I’m having second thoughts. He’ll sometimes think he is about to go home. He’ll start t elling people “ bye, my ride is here”. Or he’ll ask, “what time are we getting discharged”. If he knew we already cleaned out his house, or that I took his car to my house, I’m afraid he will realize, that WE REALIZE he’s never going home, and he’ ll just give up. So I think I’m going to just tell him I got it cleaned up and running again. That it’s at home waiting for him.

That’s a bunch of beautiful and terrible all at the same time. Take the dog for a drive I suppose,
and spend some quality time with dad.

The time thing can be hard to deal with for sure.
By the sounds of it maybe leave the car at home. trying to talk him down from leaving would be extra confusing for him.
Hold in there, make the most of it, and work on the grief as you go. The hospice time is both a curse and a boon.
