He wanted to look at Chi's with less baggage, so we went to see a little >male from a breeder who was looking to sell some of her males. He was a small >little guy, very cuddly and friendly and we thought he would be great with >Cooper. She wanted to breed him one time though, when one of her females came >in heat so that was part of the deal. We would have to wait another month or >so and then she would have him neutered before we could take him home. This >was back in the beginning of January. Finally this Saturday I get to pick him up!

I saw her a couple of weeks ago at an adoptathon. >I keep talking about her and my husband wouldn't budge. This past weekend I >knew they were having the adoptathon at my local Petsmart I thought Daisy >might be there if she was still available. I couldn't stand thinking about it >so I reluctantly approached Rob and asked if he would ever possibly consider >adopting Daisy. After all the same reservations, he said, "What is it about >this dog? I don't get it?" I got pretty emotional talking about it but I told >him that I had just felt such a connection from the first time I saw her >picture online for adoption. I can't explain it, then after I held her I >couldn't forget. > >Long story short, he sighed and said, "Oh well I guess if we have 3 then I >guess 4 won't make that much difference! Hurry up and get up to Petsmart and >see if she is still there!" > >I raced up to Petsmart and didn't see Daisy at first but then saw that her >foster Mom was holding her and talking to a lady. I asked the lady if she was >adopting Daisy, and that I had come specifically about this dog. She said she >wasn't sure and that she would let me see her if I was interested.
