ESSlover Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Darn it. We just got an email from the MAESSR Lady that we most likely wouldn't be offered a dog for 2 to 4 weeks. Pooper scooper! Cause most of the dogs arent spayed/neutered so they have to get "fixed". I wonder if we signed a contract that we would get them spayed/nuetered if they would offer us one sooner ( i dont even no if there is such a thing) Sorry, just needed to vent.... :x Quote
rotten_two Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 it couldn't hurt to ask. we brought aspen home from rescue the day he was neutered! oh and remember good things come to those who wait. i know that is tuff at 13 but maybe you have to wait because "your" perfect dog is not there yet. do you believe everything happens for a reason?

I'll have to tell my dad to ask her. Yes I believe everything happens for a reason. But when a dog dies that you've only had for 8 months, its kind of hard. :cry: But we'll stick it out. We are commited to getting a dog. No matter how long it takes. But I just wish it would hurry up a bit! :lol: Quote
rotten_two Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 yes the ole hurry up and wait syndrome! oh i am sorry your other dog died prematurely. that is certainly never fun and we never want to think about what good may come of it. look at it this way -- they said 2 -4 weeks not 8-12 right? k is right a month will fly by!

ESSlover Posted August 20, 2004 Author Posted August 20, 2004 I sure hope so. K- you arent boring, just sensible. :lol: I know that you have to wait longer then that for your puppers (i forget his name.... o garsh, :oops: the bully..?). Ya'll are so nice! I'm so happy I found this site.... :D Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 2 to 4 weeks will fly by. They should let you have her/him the following day after the operation Quote
courtnek Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Ess, K is your example. she has been waiting FOREVER to get a Bully. so a month at most will fly by. she is right, you have time to prepare, buy the special stuff, and your dog will be fixed and ready to play when it comes home. K, we are dating ourselves with this "sensible" stuff... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
imported_nea Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Time does NOT fly by quickly when you are waiting for something exciting to happen. :lol: :wink: Hope you get your perfect dog as soon as you can :) Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Don't worry, with all the preparing and running around you'll be doing by the time you're finished your dog will be ready to come home! :wink: Good luck with your future pup! :D Quote
ESSlover Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks everybody for suggestions. :D I'll tell ya'll the second we hear. Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Don't sweat it. Like everyone else has previously said, the time will pass quickly. It seems like a lot right now, but before you know it you'll be cuddling with your new sweetie. :) Quote
imported_Cassie Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Oh, how exciting to be getting a new pup :wink: I wish I had had 2-4 weeks before getting my dogs :lol: It's pretty bad when a breeder asks you to take one of her dogs for an over night, then the dog ends up living with you. :lol: none of my dogs were by choice, they just fell into my life by chance. Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off getting dishes, food, collars and leashes is frustrating at the last minute. :wink: of course the breeder supplied me with all of these things for the Newf's,but, with my 2 rescues the Rottie and Dobie they never went to a shelter just from their bad life to my home. :wink: Use this time to puppy proof your home, look at and perhaps take some pictures of your favorite teddy bears and shoes before they are chewed apart. :lol: I wonder if we signed a contract that we would get them spayed/nuetered if they would offer us one sooner ( i dont even no if there is such a thing) Oh course most breeders have spay/nueter contracts for puppies they sell. Of course it sounds as if the person you are getting your dog from is doing a very smart thing. Its really hard to release a dog then worry about the new owner and when they will spay/nueter the new pup. I have heard some horror stories of reputable breeders selling pups with a non breeding contract and never received proof the pup had been spayed. One breeder messed up and didn't check up on a few pups she had sold as pet quality. She soon found out the hard way that one owner did not spay her pup. She received a call from some one who had gone to a local pet store and saw my friends kennel name being advertised for pups for sale. The new owner bred her Shepherd pup to a male down the road and sold the pups to the pet store with a CKC registered bitch and an unregistered male. The kennel name was advertised as my friend has top winning champion show dogs...it was awful. My friend was really upset and now she is very timid and careful when selling pups. Quote

We don't have the time to take care of a puppy since no one is home during the day. Quote

imported_Matty Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I am getting a bad impression of some of the members here. I guess the reply could have been worded differently. I think you misunderstood. :wink: We are not getting a puppy. We are adopting from a rescue league, not a breeder. We don't have the time to take care of a puppy since no one is home during the day. :wink: That would have been nicer. Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I didn't perceive it as nasty at all. I think ESS was just being concise, but I didn't get the impression that she(?) meant it to sound ugly at all. I think that was just one of those perception things. You know, where you perceive something differently than it was intended. :wink: Quote

(yes, she :wink: ) Sorry if I offended you Cassie, I didn't mean anything of the sort. Do you forgive me? :( Quote
