| Adoption ..What would YOU do? I'm having trouble making a tough decision. As you all know I have Miss Pee Pee Pants (who is now coming along in training) up for adoption. She is an adorable tiny Pomchi who has a wonderful temperment and is an all around great pup. Well I have an applicant who has passed all the checks and wants her , but here is what happened. Everything with the check was smooth but then when it came time to set up a final adoption day... she disappeared on me. We had spoke all day and then she let me know I would have to talk to her by the evening because she was going away for a day the next day. So I try and get in touch with her in theafternoon and leave messages , but I never hear anything for 3 days. Then 3 days later I get a message saying she was visiting family and can she still get the dog. Well I have to say that "NO SHOWS" and "People who don't call back" are my biggest pet peeves in life. I'm of the belief that if someone really wants something they will do their darnedest to make it happen. So I'm wondering how being away for a few days kept her away from phone or an email. if it was me and say I had forgotton the number... I would have asked to use someones computer , or even went to one of those places like a computer cafe or even a library to send an email. Also most people have computers and I'm thinking I can't believe NOBODY in a family had a computer or friend with a computer so she could have emailed me.!!!!! So now I am having serious issues with adopting to her because I felt leaving it hanging while I was waiting for a meet date was totally irresponsible. PLUS..... she already had told me she was going the next day , so why on earth would she have not replied the night before sayng something to me? I sure would have If I had really wanted a puppy from someone. So am I being an A$$ about a little thing or what????? Maybe I'm being too touchy? i just don't know

| Well, IMO I would give her another chance. Maybe something came up,family emergency or personal. There are many people that are very guarded and private about that kind of thing. as far the computers, maybe they had one but not the internet. If she went far maybe there wasn't long distance on the phone. I mean so many things could have prevented her from calling. I think you should stop over -analyzing things and give her a 2nd chance. If you say she passed all the check marks then what is the hold up? You can't penalize a person for one silly mistake(experience talking here with that ). I just say this because I do that same thing, I over analyze EVERYTHING. It is a bad habit of mine!! But in my opinion I say go for it!! This poor pup needs a home, and she may need someone to love too. You could always do like a check up w/ the option to pick up the pup "in case" something doesn't look right too??? Good Luck, I am sure you will do the right thing!! |

| It was 4 days 5 if you counted the first day she told me. Now I went ahead and told her ok and set up a time but she emailed back saying she had a nail appointment Well that cinched it for me. I would hate for a dog to interupt her nails I didn't even say WHAT TIME. I just said in the evening. I don't even understand why she keeps telling me she wants the dog. She keeps telling me how she is in love with him already and what a great home she will provide, and yet everything else is knocking the poor little furbaby to the back burner which looks like a bad sign to me. I tried to overlook the whole visiting family thing the first time but I'm sorry, don't tell me how much you really want one of my babies and then come back and tell me you need all night to get your nails done first Oh I forgot she DID email me she could sueeze me in during her work break if I would meet her...LOL.. Yeah right

Her family visit was in the same State not to far away and she did have the whole day before to contact me . PLUS.....by coincedence I only live down the STREET. How hard would it have been??? I do checks on people but sometimes you can't tell what is really up with a person by those. I just have to rely on my instincts. I guess I might be wrong sometimes , but I would rather be safe then sorry and wondering .

| The "nails are more important right now" thing would do it for me! I say trust your gut instinct and don't over analyze yourself

| I agree with you !! You are very right in your opinion. With her comments and what she priotizes first I would NOT sell her my dog either. Don't get me wrong I get my nails done too but my baby Gizmo comes first. It is sooo funny she said that. I mean I drove 5 hours north up to get Giz and didn't think twice about it. so I also believe if you want something bad enough you will do ANYTHING to get it. I agree, don't sell to her, there will be better quailified people later. How old are your pups, do you have any pics? BYW I bought the Kodak, I am just having trouble loading the pics, it tells me that my USB port is not found!! WHAT!!! |

| She doesn't sound like she would have time to "fit" your baby into her schedule! We all know the time required for Yorkies .... I think you should trust your instincts and find her a good home where she will be loved all the time and properly cared for! IMO

| I agree. Sure, sometimes things happen and therefore maybe, just maybe, she wasn't able to contact you while away. IMO, even if this were the case, I would think she would be jumping at the first chance to come and pick the pup up after getting back. If your instincts are telling you that something is up, then you should trust them. There are plenty of loving people out there who would love to give your little pomchi a wonderful and loving home. Keep us updated!

| Good choice. If you gave her Miss Pee Pee pants, you would worry from now until forever. This means the right person just hasn't come along. When they do you will be glad this happened. |
