Goober Goes to His Forever Home

My Oobie Goobie Gooberson was adopted last Thursday. He went to live with Kelley Simmons and her daughter in Delaware.

For those that dont remember, Goober was on the Euth list at the SPCA in New York. His owners dropped him there to be put to sleep because he was "too sick". Tara B worked fast to get him pulled before it was too late and he was on his way to us in PA. When he arrived he was missing most of his hair. We suspected mange but figured out over time that it was allergies that had been neglected for a very long time.

Goober spent the next few months trying new foods and new meds. His hair started to grow back rapidly. He went from not moving at all because of how uncomfortable he was, to chugging his little butt all over the house and demanding walks. He is a complete lovebug and had become quite the mommas boy. He also became quite famous on our facebook page, people actually emailed Sheryl asking for more updates. He is our little celebrity.

While many thought he would be my first failed foster ;) I stuck to the thought that we would only adopt him out if someone better than us came along, figured I was pretty safe there! Well, I thought wrong. The Simmons specifically wanted Goober, they were well versed in his allergy issues and any problems he could develop down the road, and they had a quiet home for him to spend his senior days in. I couldn't compete.

Goober has been doing great in his new home. They love him to death. He has been given the royal spa treatment and they play with him constantly. They have already taught him "sit" and are working on "down".

I couldn't have asked for anything better for my little grumbly old man.
