A new addition...

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Could be arriving home here in a few days.....
Let me tell you guys the story.
My mom and I went to the animal shelter today, like we try to do every week. We stopped off where the female dogs were, and came across this Collie/Golden Retriever mix (I know! ) named Chloe. She was brought in because her previous owner was allergic. She is absolutely gorgeous. She has such a mellow, sweet personality, and she has Molly's wacko ears! She great with other dogs, cats, people, everything. We asked the workers if we could take a look at her, so we brought her out and walked her around a bit. She walks almost perfectly on a leash, and just would stick by me and mom for lots of petting. She looked like she had some sort of an eye infection, so we the shelter vet came by to take a look at her again. He said she has kennel cough; which I disagree with, because she showed none of the signs I'm used to seeing; it was just her eye. When he was looking at her, she pulled on the leash causing her to make a 'hacking' noise, which is why I think he thinks she has kennel cough. But, I didn't want to take a chance with Molly and Daisy catching it, so we didn't bring her home today. I asked the woman is there was any possible way we could 'reserve' her and take her home when she's all better, but we couldn't. She said to call back in a few days, and if she's still there and all better, to come and adopt her! She said we would make the perfect home.

I know we stand a needle-in-a-haystack sort of chance, but I'm asking all of you to hope for the best, and pray that we can be the ones to give her a home! Thank you! I'll be sure to keep you all updated.

Yay!! I can't believe it, your getting a 3rd, and i still need a 2nd! Im sooo happy for you, but scared, thinking the worst that she might not be there.. I'm sure she will, and im sure soon enough you will have another molly/daisy in your house! Im sooo happy for you!

(Me want piccys!)

*Gasp* Julie's going to get another addition? FINALLY! You must be soooooooo excited!!! I hope you can get her! Keep us updated!

[DogLover9501]

That is so cool, there is a part of both Molly and Daisy in her!

I really hope she is still there when you call back, I think its dumb that they wouldn't let you, maybe they don't let people "reserve" them because they think the people may not come back, all they need to do is ask for a deposit, like a chuck of the adoption fee to hold onto the dog, and then the rest when you come back to get her, did you ask about that? I bet you would be very disappointed if someone else got her, and you'd make a great furmom to her

Good Luck!! I will be hoping

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Thank you so much guys!
She's one year and a few months. The perfect age range, for us. LOL, believe me....I thought up of every possible way that would insure us that we would be the ones to take her home...but basically, it's a "first come, first serve" type of deal.

I was hoping for pictures!


Finally, Julie! This is great news! Please keep us updated, and here is an early CONGRATULATIONS!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Thanks everyone!
I have a picture of her, off of the shelter's website, but it won't let me post it. Catch me on AIM if you'd like to see it.

Congrats Julie! I hope it works out! Wouldn't a mix of Molly and Daisy be the perfect dog?? The name Chloe even fits in nicely with the others!

Do you have a friend without dogs that could possibly hold on to Chloe for a week or two while she recovers? It does sound like kennel cough to me. The main test they do for kennel cough is putting pressure right there on their throat to see if they cough. But you're right, it might also just be an eye infection. Its just sometimes hard to diagnose kennel cough. The good news is it usually goes away quickly, especially since it sounds like she probably just has a mild case.

I really hope you can get her.

I hope it works out! It's a shame you can't reserve her. Can't do that here, either. If I were you, I'd call every day! Good luck and hope to see some pics of her soon(at your house)
