Introducing Little Blue Caboose

Congrats Mom2Melli, one more unfortunate furbaby that has hit pay dirt and will be getting a wonderful forever home. Kudos to you for jumping in gene pool and coming out a winner. Can't wait to see pictures of your new baby. :fl
 
Worst day EVER! The family showed up to drop off the dogs and there are only THREE. No male. They figured since they couldn't sell them, they could give one to a friend and the rest to the shelter. I was hysterical.

I contacted an mini Aussie breeder who has a little blue merle male. Stunning little guy. He has a coloboma and the husband vetoed it. The breeder has coming litters but we want to travel in the Fall.

My thread turned into a "no puppy for me" thread, possibly a "the fates have spoken thread".

I think I am going to take my dogs to the forest this weekend and think about things.
 
Oh no!!! Just got to your thread about Cubby and was posting a congratulations...then read the sad update. I am sorry there is no Cubby coming into your life right now. Bummer! :cry:

On the upside -- Melody's CGC certificate came in the mail yesterday too. I need to console myself with a new dog class. I haven't tried scent.

When doggy hearts are meant to be, heaven and earth moves, and nothing gets in the way. Just gonna wait it out.

Cara, so many things in life happen for a reason that we can't understand at the time...but when the right pup comes along you will know...and the right one WILL come along.

Good for Melody on getting her CGC cert...definitely something to celebrate.

I absolutely agree with this. I'm sorry things fell through, I know it's a rush of emotions to get excited about something and then let down. I hate that feeling.
 
Been there, getting hopes high only to have puppy sadness when it fell through. The other puppies didn't win your heart?

It's okay though, it just wasn't meant to be and the puppy that is meant to be will more than make up for it! The CCRB (Cosmic Cat Replacement Bureau) has perfect timing.

A sheltie/aussie cross, oh boy! A Shausie? LOL... oh well!
 
So sorry things fell through. I'm sure that little boy would have been very lucky to be in your home - I suppose it just wasn't meant to be.
 
The others were girls and I think I would have series head knocking with that one. I can't see Melli tolerating a girl. I can see her tolerating a male and Shay adoring a male. Melli, not another girl.

I am gaining perspective. I learned something in talking to the Aussie breeder that will help my friend with her new golden SD candidate. This exact thing happened to me three years ago with another rescue. They were getting a drop-off litter and I was supposed to get one and the owner never showed with the pups. Said if he was going to "give" them to the rescue he might as well "give" them to friends who wouldn't pay for them -- silly really, because the friends probably wouldn't be as good a home as the approved adopters. A week later I found our Shay who is absolutely the love of our hearts. I will sit patiently til what is meant to be comes. Maybe it is still Melody's time to shine. She deserves the attention. She's a pistol, but she's a good little pistol.

Thanks for all the condolences. It's really a nailbiter in the puppy wait business.
 
Maybe the rescue should stop telling you (and other people) about litters of puppies that MIGHT be coming in before they're actually in the possession of the rescue...
