After our puppy sleepover (that involved more playing than sleeping) we had to put him in the neighbor's back yard in his make shift house with our blanket. It was so sad. We hated to leave him out there but the neighbor said someone was coming to pick him up that day. We worried about him the whole rainy day while we were at Duke but we hoped someone really had picked him up. We found out that our neighbor is severely allergic to dogs and that's why she left him outside.
When we got home he was sitting on our back patio pressed against our door and of course we brought him in. For about 20 seconds we considered keeping him but then neighbor came over and told us someone should be coming by that night to get him. We got to keep him for the evening until around 10:30 when a nice girl who seemed to really want him came and got him. It was a sad goodbye but we're very happy he found a home. We were so torn - we really wanted to keep him but we're gone for 10-12 hours a day and that's no way to raise a puppy.
We've been missing him ever since. He was such a sweet little thing.

why would someone give a very allergic person 4 puppies in the first place?
The whole thing seemed a little strange to me. I guess what happened is the neighbor's son's day care provider had 9 puppies and couldn't afford to feed them because she also has 7 kids. She asked our neighbor to help her find homes and the neighbor agreed thinking her teenage daughter would help but then the daughter left for the weekend or something. That's why we were really concerned that whoever came for this puppy REALLY wanted him because it seemed like everyone was just passing puppies around without thinking about it.
He seemed so perfect for you guys too. I'm sad he's gone Whit, really I am. Maybe he prepared you for some lonesome creature coming still?
