I know exactly how you feel!!! The person we rescued Gage from last year was kinda "wishy-washy" on letting him go. I had to act like it was no big deal if he let me take him while the whole time my mind was screaming, "let that baby go - you aren't taking care of him". I felt if I acted "over anxious" I would blow any chance there was of getting Gage out of that house! Perseverence paid off and I got a call 3 months later - told me if I wanted him, come get him! When I showed up to get him, there was this precious, SCARED furbaby, weighing no more than 3 1/2 pounds on a freaking CHAIN in the front yard!!!!!!!!! They unhooked him and gave him to me - I couldn't get out of there fast enough cause I was so pissed, I had visions of me going to jail for manslaughter!! Saw the idiot a few weeks later at the store and he had the nerve to ask me how HIS dog was doing. I turned and said, "Your dog? No, he is MY dog! You couldn't handle his care, have no business owning any kind of pet at all. Please don't ever refer to him again as YOUR dog!" He's not spoken about Gage to me since then on those rare instances we see each other.

Sorry to get so long winded, stories like these really touch my heart. I would love to help you with that precious baby if you get her but I live too far away. Know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers all week-end! I'll be looking for an update on Monday.
