Boy did I miss a lot! So happy for you David! I know how you feel, unsure of this decision, the timing, and really, the actual doing of it. I felt the same with Grizzly (a.k.a Tiny Devil); is it too soon? Is he the right one? Should I even be doing this at all? As it turned out, all answers were a big fat YES! But truth be told, I still feel some guilt about it. How can I love my tiny bundle so much without feeling like I'm dismissing my heart dog? But he has helped me heal, no doubt about it. Keep those pictures coming....he's adorable!

That picture of Baxter shows pure contentment!  He's looking very "at home" there with you!  Handsome boy there and of course still loving those ears!

Oh David! Please forgive me... you’re not going to believe what I thought when I read in your other forum that “Baxter had been keeping Rocky’s place warm etc, weeeeeell... I’m a little embarrassed to tell you that I though Rocky’s ‘lookalike’ toy was now named “Baxter!!!

Thank the dogs you posted a link to this forum ‘cause lord only knows I’d be calling your lovely stuffed toy “Baxter” and wondering how you are getting this fella out for his pee walks!!!

So, now that I am literally on the same page as everyone else... CONGRATULATIONS DAVID! WELCOME HOME BAXTER! WAY TO GO ROCKY! 

Congratulations are in serious order David. You went to see Baxter because you were guided. I’m sorry to say that nopawdy MADE you bring him home... I am absolutely thrilled for you! And it is perfectly natural to want to feel that sense of guilt for Rocky’s sake, but that’s such a human emotion. Rocky is as happy as a clam up at the 🌈 bridge! Bouncing around telling everypawdy that his Daddy has finally found a playmate too and it was exactly the one he had been telling you about! 

Baxter, you couldn’t have found your pawrent any sooner could you?! You made sure that you waited for him, you are a gooood fella! Oh and those ears! I do believe you have some Royalty in you for sure my lovey! I mean have you seen the queens corgis of late?! They would be muttering jealous words in the corner if they could see your lovely ears! My Gongases, never mind. look at those eyes! They could sell a fridge to an eskimo for goodness sake!!!

And Rocky... Bless your big beautiful spirit for sending Daddy this new friend! You knew it was time didn’t you love?! And you even lay beside him to tell him that it really is okay for Baxter to sleep there now! I totally get the penny’s around the car dream now!!! 

Sorry for the mix up David! I think Baxter is one very lucky puppy and you are on you way to healing! Well done!

All the very best for now

Petra, Stewie and his gang!

Merry Christmas David! Such a sweet picture ❤️  I hope the transition is going smoothly for all of you, he sure looks pretty happy! 

Wishing you and your family so the best,

Jackie
