Horsefeathers! Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Crossposted because I am way too tired to type it back out again, but YAY, a happy ending, and I'm not a foster failure this time 8) : ======== Some good news to share! I mentioned the other day that I might be getting a foster Chi. Well, yesterday, the former owners left her with me. Her name is Ninya and she is all of 4 lbs! Teeny tiny little thing, she is. She's a tan colored, long haired girl, eight years old, and is as sweet as the days are long. Not yappy or snappy or anything but 100% pure love. I've spent the last couple of days in cyberspace emailing different rescues back and forth and have been so overwhelmed with the positive responses I got. I emailed three different rescue groups in the beginning because I was hoping maybe at least just one would have a spot for her. Well, the networking that has gone on has been phenomenal. These rescue people emailed other rescue people and word spread like wildfire. I've had so many offers of help. It does my heart good. Ninya is going to Tallahassee tomorrow to a rescue group that I've heard incredibly good things about. She will be fostered, vetted, assessed, and they will, no doubt, find the perfect home for her. To be honest, if I didn't have so many dogs, it would be so tempting to keep her. She reminds me so much of Goober (for those of you who remember him). You couldn't ask for a more well mannered little dog. Potty trained, polite, and such a cuddler. She will be good company for a retired couple or someone recently widowed. I've only known her for a couple of days, but I'm going to miss her. She truly does deserve to be queen of someone's castle. I took some pictures of her and will try to get them up this weekend. With that tongue sticking out the side of her mouth, she is so freaking cute! Something that made me angry today, and made me show my ugly side... One of the girls that works in our clinic today BOUGHT, from our local backyard Chi breeder, a teeny little puppy. When I reminded her that I actually have a little Chi looking for a home, she remarked that she didn't want a long haired Chi and, besides, she wants a puppy. Needless to say, I didn't gush and aw and congratulate her on her new purchase. Thing is her daughter has allergies to animals and she's sure the short haired Chi is the answer. Is my short haired Chi the only one that's a shed monster? Wonder who they're going to contact when she decides she can't keep this little dog? By the way, sorry to be a hit and run poster. I have been pretty busy the last couple of days and haven't had a chance to really catch up. I'll try to spend some time this weekend catching up on anything important I might have missed. I know I usually think people are self absorbed when I see them only post when they have something to say about themselves or their own lives, but aren't otherwise active in other people's events, and I try not to be like that. I'll try to catch up this weekend. Quote

kendalyn Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 I'm glad it went well and your little chi will find a great home! Hopefully you won't be trying to place your co-worker's chi in 6 months. :-? Quote
abker17 Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Glad to hear she'll have a happy ending. :D Quote
