    I asked him what he thinks about fostering a dog. He just laughed in my face. I feel like crying. I am crying. I feel like screaming.


    i'm not going to give up though, i won't.

    Kay, I know how you feel, trying to just ask the question is very very hard. And when I asked my dad about another dog he also laughed and said no. But I still havent gave up. I have been keeping my room clean and all that stuff. I try to bring it up in some points. Just dont give up!

    KayAnn, don't push your luck. You were so fortunate that he "gave in" and let you get Nala. I don't want you to mess up a good thing. Has your dad met Valerie, and has he heard about Chance, specifically? What about your mom?

    Seems like there ought to be other options out there for him, other than all of the pressure to fall on you.

    I will be anxious for an update about the advertising and how it is received. I hope that the shelter director was at least upbeat about Chance. Fingers, paws and claws crossed here.

    I'm not pushing my luck. It's the first time i've mentioned fostering Chance.

    Yes, i'm lucky he let me get Nala, after how many years? I wouldn't mess anything up and we'd NEVER get rid of Nala. I couldn't, my mom couldn't and my dad wouldn't dare.

    Yes, he's met Valerie, both of my parents have as she's slept in our home before. they've also heard of chance and saw pictures of him when Valerie first posted about him.


    I printed out a 2 page long full of information and posts about Chance. My dad is reading it right now.

    KayAnn, I feel for you. I really appreciate your trying. I am sick to my stomach over this. I don't know what I'm going to do about it but don't feel bad if he says no. It's not his fault.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    This seems to be how I'm feeling at this point. Has there been
    any feedback from the shelter efforts so far? Don't get me wrong,
    I think it would be fantastic for Chance to be around Kay Ann for
    awhile.She seems to be a natural with dogs of every persuasion.

    I am hopeing and praying very hard for some positive news.

    Just "bumping" this up, as I hope Valerie will update us in regards to the advertisements in the various media, and any positive/negative outcome. Fingers/paws/claws are all crossed, and many, many prayers for Chance, coming from SC.

    I don't really have anything new. He's going to be on the radio again next week. I put an ad in our employment want ads and am going to try to get flyers made up. I'm really getting discouraged and am losing hope.

    Dont loose hope. You can do this O.K? I know what it is like to be in a stressfull situation, believe me. But I have the worlds greatest feeling that Chance will get that Chance and find a new home.

    Valerie, I sent you a PM a few minutes ago. Just wanted you to be on the lookout for it.

    On another note, way back sometime, Sandra mentioned "Save a Stray"........I can't remember much more about it. Were they ever contacted?
