ok so serious question

[backwoodsbob]

who wants the budster?

I will deliver him anywhere on the eastern side of the usa that I know he will be well taken care of.

1. what??!!

why? I'm sorry if things aren't going well.

[backwoodsbob]

3. things are going great

moving to an area I LOVE...unfortunately..the budster cant come along..God I LOVE that dog.I'm crying over this one.

The Budster cant come.

I need a good home for him.I'll drive as far as needed to give him a good home

[dana_b]

4. oh I am sorry

that has to be so hard. I'm glad to hear that things are good though.

I wish!! He looks like a sweetie but I live in California.

[backwoodsbob]

17. if you would take him

I'll drive him to Cali.

I'll drive to the ends of the earth to give him a good home

2. Here's a kick for you

I have two dogs right now or I'd be on the phone!

[backwoodsbob]

5. i hate this

I'm crying so much thinking about giving up the Budster.

It is what it is

[lunatica]

6. I'm so sorry you have to make such a choice

You'll find him a good home though, and he'll be happy.

7. start talking to all the people you know, even casual

that you like as people. one will take him. i had a dog i loved. got married. hubby and dog jealous of each other. i had to find a home for this dog..... and found a place for her with an older woman, alone. that needed the dog more than i.

find a family with young children that are looking to have their first dog. he is older and will be easier for a parent to bring into the home, than a puppy. i can see it as a true gift for another. the right person for this dog will come along.

8. he looks like a great dog!

i wish i could, but i already have one more than the allowable number of pets in my apt. (don't tell)

[sharp_stick]

9. I wish I could

he looks like a great dog. Here's a kick in any case.

10. Please contact the

Pioneer Valley Dakin Center

http://www.dpvhs.org/

My stepdaughter just adopted a dog from them that came from Texas.

I have two myself, and could not handle another.

But this organization brings a pet to a local TV station once a week for people to see and (hopefully) adopt. In fact, the dog my stepdaughter adopted hadn't even arrived yet at the Dakin Center before there were a bunch of inquiries on him.

I'm so terribly sorry you have to let him go. He looks like a fine boy... My heart aches for both of you.

Oh, PS... FairyDogParents.org can often help people with expenses

[backwoodsbob]

11. thanks

will look them up but I think the Budster wont last that long

DAMN I adore that dog.

[pipi_k]

14. I hope you find

a good home real quick. Or a miracle happens and you can keep him.

I feel your pain.

[hedgehog]

12. And one more kick before I take Guinness and Pooka for their walk!

[hedgehog]

24. Kick for Sunday

[mzteris]

13. I've asked twice for the deadline

when he "has" to be adopted.

My nephew thinks he's beautiful, but has a large dog already. He is checking around with people he knows, but is waiting to hear back from me. I'm thinking if you don't find anyone else, he'll consider taking him - at the very least until he CAN find someone else who will.

He loves dogs - and would never mistreat one - nor allow anyone else to. He may have his faults (redneck Southern boy) but he LOVES DOGS!

He grew up in Goose Creek, btw.

[backwoodsbob]

16. a goose creek neighbor

I would LOVE for a Goose Creek neighbor to take him so I know he is ok

[mzteris]

23. Are you there already?

If not, whan will you get there? Do you have to have a home before you arrive? Or do you have a grace period? Where are you now, if not?

[backwoodsbob]

26. im in Va now but will be coming to Goose Creek this Thursday or Friday

[backwoodsbob]

18. i have told you twice

call me.pm me and I will give my number

[RebelOne]

15. Have you posted in the states forum for your state?

Also go to Yahoo groups and search for animal rescue groups in your state.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. kicking.....and when is the deadline????????????????

how much time do you have to find him a home?????????

[grasswire]

20. I couldn't do it.

Hopefully you can find a place where you can visit him from time to time. Heartbreaking.

[nolabear]

21. Oh NO!

I don't want to make this any harder for you but I'm really sorry. I wish I knew someone. He's been kind of a mascot around here.

[applegrove]

22. Whose a goo' boy? I love the ongoing puppy saga you got going there.

[lillypaddle]

25. kick for the Budster

and good luck to you both.

[backwoodsbob]

27. the budster is a lot of dog...notice harnesses and BIG collars

but he is a gentle giant.

He is currently curled in my lap as well as he can ...head only fits...the rest of him fits wherever

He's my baby

[Maine-ah]

28. how is he with kids? I have a five year old girl

two cats who don't mind dogs, and one other elderly dog (14 years old). Once acre of land, Midcoast Maine.

[nolabear]

29. I vote YOU!

He's got Roller Derby Mascot written all over him.
