OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
My neighbour popped in today to say her and her husband have taken the last week to seriously consider taking on Thomas and they have decided they would LOVE to!!! She is very concerned that she feels she has taken him away from me but I have reassured her that he has not been happy since the day I bought him home and that he has been terrorising Harvey and holding him hostage under my bed since that day also.
I can not tell you how utterly delighted I am that Thomas is going to such a loving home, honestly she absolutely DOTES on him and has taken umpteen photos of him in her garden throughout the summer, you can see the love in their eyes as they gaze at one another
Now we just need to transfer his home from here to next door... .hmmm this could be confusing for him.... I'm going to give her his bed, his bowl and some of his food that I've been feeding him and she has told me to take my time before we actually do that so that and once everything is round there she will welcome him in (she has never allowed him in except for that one time I went round and he leapt onto her knee in her conservatory).
I think once he is welcomed in, has his bed and a bowl of food, that he will see over there as 'home'. Well I really hope so anyway.
The beauty of all this is that if things don't work out, I know she is such a real softie with animals, caring and loving and no harm will ever come of him.
I SO hope it works out for Thomas and his lovely new owner
