ObedienceGrrl Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Well....I got an email back from our area coordinator. She said that there are a few other people interested in Tater, but since I had already been in contact with his foster mom (yeah me!!) she told her to check my references which came back "A-1". I'm assuming that is a good thing! Also, she said that I can't send too many emails (which I was afraid of doing) because then they know how interested we are and how sincere we are. So I also hope that is a good thing. Again....back to crossing fingers and toes!!! Paws too!!! Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Good luck! I hope everything works out. The first time I became involved with the Poodle rescue group I dealt with, I emailed the crap out of them. It never crossed my mind that I might be bugging someone. No wonder it took so long for her to finally give up her phone number. :oops: Still, it worked out great and that group gives me awesome references to other groups. I've been able to get other dogs without the usual home checks and other references based solely on the glowing reference of that first rescue group. Sometimes persistence pays off! :o Good luck to you! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 ya! congrats that sounds great! good luck! Quote
courtnek Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 she told her to check my references which came back "A-1". I'm assuming that is a good thing! either that's an excellent rating, or they're really into steak sauce.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (sorry, couldnt resist) You will get Tater. With a rating like that, and all the interest you've shown, they'd be foolish to pass you up. He's really a sweetie! 8) Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Paws crossed that you will get Tater :D Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Okay.....another email update! So my reference (a guy I work with) sang our praises last night to the cooridinator. So now we are approved pending a home visit! Tater's foster mom will be in touch with us soon! I hope this means it's a slam dunk from here...... I just ran upstairs and woke my husband up. Also woke the dogs up who started barking hysterically. I broke my rules of running in the house....they don't like that because they know they are not allowed to run....so it startled them. Needless to say, Jeremy was not too happy being woken up that way. Who wants to wake up with two GSDs barking in your ear? Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 oohh I'm sure you will get Tater now :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 woohooo!!!!!!!! looks like you'll have a little guy in your home sooner then you think! Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Yup....just got the email from his foster mom. We are approved to adopt him!!! I started crying at work when I read the email. So now, just the home visit. And what's not to like about the home?? Big home, VERY clean (I have a little OCD when it comes to cleaning!), nice fenced yard, sidewalks for nice walks, great neighboorhoods to go investigate..... Any other adopters out there that could give me some tips??? Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Congratulations. This thread has been very eventful. First I was going to write "Kyra and I have our fingers and paws crossed for you", then I was going to say that you were a shoe-in after the second post, and there you were in another post, already in. I love how that worked. I know you will give Tater a good life. Please post some pictures as soon as you got your hands on some. :) Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 I will put pictures up....don't worry. I just love that I can come on here and tell you guys and you really understand. You know how excited I am and don't think I'm silly for crying at work when I found out about it!! Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 That is why I truly cherish this forum and everyone in it. I also love how everyone here understands and is constantly offering advice. Everyone here is the best. :) ObedienceGrrl, I would cry if Kevin said I could get another dog in the next year or so. :roll: Nevermind that I was going to be getting a dog in the near, near future...like you. I would probably start sobbing with happiness. LOL I know, I know..I'm pathetic. Anyhoo, I'm so glad that everything is working out with you and Tater. Update us as soon as you can. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 YAH!!!! that's GREAT!!!!!!! Congrats on the new addition!! Quote
