The only thing he dont like is when i stick my finger in his ear,,( yes,I said EAR;0)"
Maybe he is supposed to be with you. I know that when we were fostering Rantoul for our local animal shelter he would go out on trial adoptions. When that would happen our house would go through upheaval, he would misbehave and a couple days later he'd be returned. I'd go pick him up, the house would return to "normal", the other dogs here would perk up and seem happier (not moping around). Didn't take long until we realized that this was his place...even though I had firmly said when I fostered him that it was only a foster and he would have to go and be adopted elsewhere.
So maybe it's not so much that the adoption went wrong as now things are right.
