Good morning folks.
Tired, very tired. Did not get much sleep last night. I was beyond furious and wasn’t able to get any shut eye until about an hour before my alarm normally goes off.
The Lady and I have had our discussions both last night, and continuing this morning, but I would love to have the input, thoughts, opinions, and comments from our wonderful group here as well. Please be honest.
Here’s the situation.
As most of you know the Lady and I adopted of Yellow Lab, Cooper, a couple of weeks ago (less than 3 weeks to be exact). The Adoption Agreement with Cooper’s previous family, was exactly that, an Adoption Agreement, with no notation at all of visits or any sort of contact.
Thinking we would be kind and to assist the previous family in gaining closure after the adoption, we allowed them to message us from time to time to see how he is doing, and that we may send a photo here and there.
On the evening of the adoption, in the 2 hours between picking him up and arriving home, they messaged and called my phone asking how he was and how the travel home was going.
In the following days, there were more messages asking about Cooper. We did not tell the previous family about renaming Cooper, so they still refer to him by the other name.
During the pickup date, we had mentioned that we were going north to see my In-Laws for the long weekend and that we’d be taking Cooper up with us. We noted that we would send some photos of him exploring and enjoying the North. I sent the photos after the weekend, and received a short but polite “Nice pictures, thank you.”
An entire week passes after the long weekend, without as much as a peep from them, until this exchange of messages last night.

The Lady and I were irate when this exchange happened last night.
...and I'm still fuming...which explains this post in another thread.
I have yet to respond to the latest text.
