It is with a heavy heart
That I report the return of Archer AKA Tonto to the PAWS adoption center. After six days of trying to fit him into our lives, I became one of "those people" we used to complain about at GPR. For one thing, Ivan didn't take to Archer very well. He hasn't pooped at all since his arrival, and I'm having to syringe-feed him pumpkin to try to remedy the situation. For another, taking care of him the way he needed to be taken care of was emotionally and physically exhausting when combined with our existing schedules. I should have known that would happen. I feel like a big failure and I wish we hadn't deprived him of a week's worth of adoption chances, but at least we worked on his house training and put some much-needed weight on him. And I think he had fun with us. I am going to miss him. It was really hard taking his "Sterling Mallory Archer" tag off of him. I hope he finds a good home. I will never forget him trotting around the apartment with stolen socks in his mouth.
