Well maybe it'll work out ok, especially if the dog knows the son already.
It may be less traumatic for Cupcake not to have to make that long journey, then be overwhelmed by sharing his normally quiet life with all your own dogs too, do you think?
Try not to worry. What will be will be.

I'm glad you agree EZ. I know you were looking forward to it.
Some of these dogs who have had a quiet life with perhaps just one person, can be a bit overwhelmed at suddenly being thrown into a different world, especially with his Mum not there to reassure him anymore.
I think some adapt better than others.
We don't even know if he travelled well, I can't imagine his elderly owner travelling far with him, can you? So even being crated up and sent on a journey by himself he probably would have found scary. could have upset him.
The worst of it is, we can't explain to them like we can kids.
If you had been able to go and collect him and he sat with you for the journey, it might have helped, but who knows.
It reminds me of elderly residents where I used to work.
Their lives had become quiet and orderly, and they were content enough with that.
Come weekends when family would visit, bring kids and grandkids dashing about, the oldies were pleased to see them, but couldn't have coped all the time with all the noise and dashing about, it exhausted them.
I am a great believer in "If it's meant to be - it will be."
Hope you're not too disappointed, EZ.
Maybe the son will change his mind even.
