i'm off work again today post-"wintery mix" storm because place of employment hasn't been plowed out yet. so i thought ooh great! i can go adopt my new dog today! Wheee! Congrats on deciding to go for it. but that's two more very very cold nights for him in the shelter, and that makes me kind of mad. Poor thing! He doesn't have the sort of coat that can handle cold weather. And, where I am, it's supposed to be sub-zero tomorrow night. Not many dogs ought to be out in that sort of weather, especially not if they're sleeping on concrete! i've got his crate all set up and blanky-fied, collar, leash, bowl, everything important. just no dog. Could you possibly get off work a little early tomorrow and get him then? -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

i really really hope i'm making the right decision, but i think i'll regret it forever if i don't take this poor old man. I think you're making a good decision. If it doesn't work, you will be able to cross that bridge when you come to it. And chances are, even if it's not a smooth transition, you *will* be able to make it work. maybe it's warmer in there at night when they close the doors, but it's so freaking cold and windy here That *really* sucks, especially for an old, balding guy. I feel just awful for him. i doubt it, but if i can, i'll definitely go. i'm expecting tomorrow to be insane, and we're short-staffed friday afternoons as it is right now. How about going in late, or taking some time off mid-morning? You wouldn't have time to properly acclimate him to your house, but he'd be better off dumped in a crate in the bathroom than left overnight in the cold. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

i do too. he was happy to see me today. Aw! Now *that* is bittersweet. i don't have that kind of flexibility, unfortunately. i work for a fairly small vet hospital, and you've gotta be there when you've gotta be there. Ah! I've had jobs like that, so I understand, but I've also gotten spoiled enough that I tend to forget what that's like. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
