I think we are all going to be a bit disappointed if he ever gets through his issues and becomes "normal" because what would there be to write about?

Alvin had a couple of very off days right after I decided he would stay here and I accused him of being disappointed that he wasn't getting a nice beach house or a house in Beverly Hills. I suspects that he thinks he could do better. : )Janet Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974224893015065798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777422328416747679.post-1064463997253326082012-07-21T01:14:38.417-07:002012-07-21T01:14:38.417-07:00Thank you for your sweet reply, Margaret!

BTW, I drive a paratransit bus where I live, and one of my semi-regular passengers is a man named Alvin. Whenever his name pops up on my passenger manifest, the first image that comes to my mind is your little Alvin, staring at the camera with his little pink tongue sticking out...and the comment you'd made in a previous blog entry about "enduring an Alvin hat".

Your insight and writing abilities are so special and I too can't wait to read about his newest adventures. Not to mention he gets a Grandmother in the deal!

Thank you Janet so much for taking such an interest in him and now for being his forever Mommy. It only makes sense that such a special sweet boy would end up with a special and sweet person.

He always keeps me guessing and it is probably fitting he is with a social worker because I am very interested in his "issues" and luckily, he doesn't seem to notice mine.Janet Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974224893015065798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777422328416747679.post-73300623919066979762012-07-10T23:05:21.581-07:002012-07-10T23:05:21.581-07:00Congratulations , Janet .

I can understand why you needed time to consider this important commitment . <br />As far as Alvin not being the dog you envisioned , I know that sometimes life ( or fate ) makes the choice , not us . I love the fact that your selflessness makes the choice to spare Alvin more pain and confusion . <br />Given more time < Alvin may surprise you .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
