Well, the women came, and we talked, and they brought an "ambassador", a female who had been in foster for a year. Her name is Daisy. She was so pretty and so sweet, and took to me right away. She came to them weighing 64 pounds, and is down to 30....I am a bit overweight myself, but have changed my diet and walk daily. I have (with the help of the Sheltie Angel here at the site), most of the money, but lack about $50.00, which I will have on August 1st. Part of the reason I didn't have the full amount is I purchased a six month supply of Revolution last weekend.
Daisy needs to be an only dog. She lives with four others, but the rescue ladies agreed she would be happier in a one dog home. We reached a deal. I will go pick up Daisy on August 3rd.
If you would like to see her, she is on the Austin Sheltie Rescue site, under adoption. It is good I have to wait a bit, I have two house/animal sitting jobs this month, and I would like to have a strong bond with her before I bring her to a job. So she'll feel secure in a new environment with me.
Daisy and I will get thin together! And she is the sweetest pup... I have about a month to go before I get her...I will be accumulating things for a new dog as I get paid from my housesitting jobs, new beds, grooming tools, Taste of the Wild....
I will keep you posted. I am very excited.
