Oh well, maybe the aunt is just taking her time with a tough decision...shows that she's responsible (great trait in a forever-mommy)  |
I don't know - I'm not good enough for them I guess. I emailed and offered to volunteer for them a while back. I told them that my house had burned, so I couldn't offer to foster a dog, but that I wanted to volunteer otherwise - if they needed anything, I could try to get it, or if they needed someone for home checks or anything else. I've been an accountant for 12 years, have a marketing degree, and I'm a law student. I could do pretty much anything for them. They emailed me back and told me they didn't want my help. I replied and said something like, "I'm not asking for a dog - I've already stated that I can't take one right now. I'm just asking to help you help the yorkies..." They replied with just "No." I wasn't even asking to SEE a yorkie - I was offering to gather food, raise funds, raise awareness, anything. So no, I know they're highly praised here, but I'm not good enough for them, and I don't really want to turn this precious little girl over to snobs that don't have the dog's best interest at heart. All they've done is taken their name off the list of organizations getting donations after I start working again. I refuse to talk bad about others just because I'm mad, and for that reason, I wasn't ever going to discuss that here, and until now, I haven't. That's all I'm saying about it, issue closed.
As far as the aunt, yes, she sounds responsible and loving. That's why I don't want to rush off and send the precious little girl away before she's had a chance to respond. By now, I'm thinking the answer is no, but I really want to hear a no before making a decision I regret.
