Gosh! I don't belive it! Do you have any idea how long a post will sit there/here before someone responds to it? Just check out the threads and you will see!
I am glad that you are there Rohaan! Maybe if we keep this up, other Oregon folks will join in.
About Marshall Dillan and Doc, well, they were busy, but Miss Kitty (OneKitty) was rockin' (wink - it's a LaGrande joke, dudes).
Um. I live in a very rural area. Little dogs might get killed so not so easy to find a "good" home. Have heard of -- oh, what do they call it, fighting dogs--use little dogs as bait? Pound is a kill shelter. I does not support kill shelters. Also $$$Adoption money is not refundable.
Do you think it is bad for me to keep little Cooper under the adoption I did thru the shelter. He is under my vet records too.
And in re-reading your post, I was not "strongly" considering keeping the dog. I had considered it tho. I will not tell stories on that one.
RDM59, it just does not feel good to let him go to them. Can you not see what I am saying? Are you just making good fodder for the threads or do you really belive this?
They are supposed to pay for the dog and it's expenses. All was to transpire on 9/2. I have not heard from them since Tuesday. Today is Friday 9/4.
Brass tacks? Is that what you are after and not the fact that they can't afford this dog? I am wondering if they can afford the BABY?????? A human baby.
Oh gosh! You do have a point there, but when I did forst post this thread, I did not have the full information. I had only an inkeling of the information.
NOW several days have passed and I have more facts. Based on the facts that I have NOW I want to keep the dog.
THEN, it was a moral delemma. I was waffeling at the time. I wanted to follow my word, but I was uncomfortable with it because things/information were/was just blosseming
NOW I am very uncomfortable with my origional word. They have not kept their word either. So if we have to go off a verbal agreement, all is lost.
In fact I am steadfast against it. The origional information has changed.
He is such a doll! Do you like his pix? He looks like a little red fox to me. I changed my pix for his for a min! He is only a year old and such a sweetie. He will be loved very much in my home!
Thank you very much Larry! Always glad to hear your thoughts and I am going to keep little Cooper! Do you like his pix? He is only 6 lbs. What a cutie! So very fragile....
He talked with you about MARRIAGE before seeing you and getting to know you better????? Count yourself blessed that he bugged off! He was most certainly after something! You are very lucky not to get stuck with someone who would treat you this way.
Oh! don't worry! don't worry! The deed is done! I sent you an email about it. The dog "Cooper" stays with me. I put up his pix for all to see! Isn't he cute! Miss Kitty will take care of Cooper forever! He is my baby now!
Thanks for you wonderful comments and great support. I could not have done it without you all!
I fought with myself for a long time on what is "right." In the end, I am keeping the pup. He only weights 6 lbs. He can't take care of himself and he can't be abused. He would be killed. Miss Kitty is taking care of Cooper here on out. So glad to hear your thoughts.
All of your guy's comments, just makes me stronger in my resolve.
I know. And this was part of the fight with myself. But the welfare of the dog won over. I learned more about the people later. I am now in great affection with the dog. He will stay with me. Thanks for your thoughts, K
You guys are awsome. I have read each and every one of your posts and I will respond to each and every one.
Your thoughts are very kind and yes, I have decided to keep "Cooper." I have changed his pix for mine so you could see what he looks like (a real cutie, huh? :)
I talked with my brother in law and he said basically tell the people that I have become very attached to him and I simply can not let him go.
It's true. I have. My girls have too -- two Shih Tzu's and my little cat too.! You would think a third dog would bring clamity into the house but it was the polar opposite!
All I have to say is, "where God guides, God provides!" And for all others and me too, well it was just good Karma and meant to be!
Okay, you guys. I have read all of what you said. I am making myself sick over this. Let me sleep on what you have said and maybe I will be more brave tomorrow.
To me this is a little being. He should be taken care of. And there should be no question about it.
I don't feel good about it.
If I need more thoughts from you all (or courage) I will write again tomorrow.
T Today, I don't want to surrender him. I am afraid.
I know. That was also my thought. I was screened pretty hard by the H.A. They put me through my paces and I had to wait quite a while to get him. I am very much afraid to turn this animal over to these people. What do I say to them to say, "too bad, so sad" when I have already said "well, pay me when you can but the dog stays here until then." Is it bad to say, that I can't follow thru? It is tearing me up. Give me the words. Please.
