After much thought and rethought, we've decided to find Tyrus a new home. We've had this guy since he was just a puppy and he's now 6 years old. It makes our hearts very sad, but we know it is the best decision for everyone. Aaron has become a very grabby toddler (aren't they all?), and although Tyrus tries to get away and controls himself the best he knows, he has growled and nipped at Aaron. Many of you remember a few months back when Tyrus actually bit Aaron on the face, breaking the skin. It was an accident, but we can't allow the possibility of further incidents to happen.
We prayed about this and I put an add on Craig's List here in Austin just yesterday. This morning I received an e-mail from a very nice gentleman with older kids and previous JRT experience. We visted his home this evening, and Tyrus actually did very well. They do have a rat terrier, that Tyrus was a little unsure of at first, but we think he will adjust just fine. I know the Lord has provided this family to ease our hearts in letting Tyrus go. So, we left Tyrus with his new family and although it's been a sad parting, we know this is a good situation for both families and our Tyrus. This gentleman knows what he's getting into and knew how to behave with Tyrus. Again, although we are sad for ourselves, we know he'll have a good life.
And no more dogs for the Geesaman family for a very long time :) ....................
