Thank goodness things worked out!

I'm so happy to see this!

I just found this post.. this is another reason why I LOVE this site!! You guys are all just awesome!! I'm soo glad they took Charlie.. has anyone spoken to Kathryn?? Jenn... any word??

Here's the post from the other forum from the volunteer that was going to pick Charlie up:

Kathryn called me right after I got gas and was about to hop on the freeway to let me know that the a worker at the shelter was going to take Charlie home with her until she can get there. It's against the shelter regulations, but she just felt really bad about the whole situation. She called me to let me know that I didn't need to drive all the way down there. So I'm back home now. But I'm glad to hear that everything worked out well and that Charlie's going to be reunited with his family!

Thanks for posting the picture of Charlie Amanda! He looks like a total sweetie! =)

Again, it's never under estimate the power of the chinchilla forum! Miracles do happen, and I'm always glad to help out whenever I can.

I love happy endings!

YOU ROCK ! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: WAY TO GO AND What a cool thing you just did - you get the HERO OF THE DAY AWARD here !!! That was an awesome thing to do !

I LOVE these kinds of threads - it had drama - lowlifes (the people who dropped him at the pound) - speeding cars.... and people on the edge of their seats cheering like it was OJ - :p

very cool ending and better than tv :thumbup:

alpayton - BIG HIGH FIVES TO YOU !

My son had a basketball game tonight and the first thing I did when I got home was look in to check on Kathryn and Charlie -- so glad to hear it is working out. It is wonderful to see so much care and concern! Hope they have a safe trip.

Any news yet? Are they home safe and sound??

I would expect that it'll be in the WEEE hours of the morning when they get back home....IF she decides to turn around and come all the way back tonight. That's considering it's a 7 hour drive to where she was going and she left at 11 this morning...

Thanks for posting this!! Kat asked me to post this for her but I was in the car -- so there was no computer available!! Kat is almost there!! :D

Awesome....so glad to hear that everything is working out!!!

i keep forgeting that i am in a different time zone. i got so caught up in it :)

What a hassle for her.. glad it worked out though.

I just saw this thread and my heart was beatig so fast reading all the posts!
I didn't want to skip to the end and I'm glad I didn't!!
You guys are so sweet and caring. I'm glad Kat that things will work out w/Charlie!!
Looking forward to hearing the final bit of the story.
Blessings!!

Well guys its 3:22 as I begin to type! :eek: I am finally home!

Charlie is safe and sound!!!!!

I have two members that I would like to Send HUGE THANK YOU'S to!!!!!

alpayton & JCarlson2004

First off, Jen.... You were a Rock! Jen spent the entire day on the phone with me! She tried so hard to help me find someone to help me out! and all of this from New York! And lets not even Mention her being an amazing Friend who calmed my nerves and kept telling me that everything was going to work out and that somehow it was going to work. Jen... Your awesome!

alpayton.... I can't believe that in Five minutes you did what I could not do over hours of phone calls and posting... A simple post on the Chins & Quills Board and you had help on the way! I cant even begin to tell you how much that means to me! Thank you for reaching out for me! Thank you for taking the time to care and sharing my story with a bunch of small animal lovers and finding me a woman who was willing to drive over an hour each way to help out a stranger! I am just so touched and impressed.. Please make certian you get me her information!!!!!! As well as yours!!!

And lastly Thank You's to all of the YT members who called the Pound in Stockton for me..... Jennifer told me she had spent the last hour listening to voicemail when I called at 400pm, but never told me who the calls were from, and it was then that she told me that she would take Charlie home with her for me! Saving the Chin & Quill Girl, Heidi, The 2+ hours of driving! and the hour wait on us! She was so wonderful! And I truly think that it was your prayers and phonecalls that softened this gal up and caused her to bend this rule for me! So thank you all who helped me out!

Charlie is sleeping soundly and I am soooooooooo Happy to have him home! They bathed him for me... but I'll be bathing him again tomorrow,,, Plush Puppy style;) and applying his advantix... and on monday he will go in for a heartworm test... I am scared to death that he was not kept on his interceptor.... :confused: And his Perfect teeth 14 months ago look like sh*t now... so its Petzlife for him starting Tomorrow!

Its good to have him back!!! I'll post pictures tomorrow!!!!!

And yes.... he loves the girls!!! And loves their toys even more!!!!! And the girls love.... to bark at..... him! lol Pixie loves him and just wants to be in his crate with him.... Paris just wants him to stay away from her mom... but give it a couple of days... they'll be fine!!!!


OK.... Its now 3:42... I need to get my butt to bed!!!!! Good night all!!!!! I'm going to sleep so very well this morning!!!!!!!;)
