It's almost Friday, it's almost Friday -- can't hardly wait!!!!!
Hoping so much that all will go well when Dany comes to visit, and trusting that all will work out in the very best way for you all.
I'll be waiting so anxiously to hear...!!!
Love, Marianne
Actually, I will go visit Dany :) I soooooo hope all will turn out well. For some reason, I want this dog really, really badly. Also, I really like the lady he's living with at this moment. She right away said she would keep Dany with her till I was fit enough after my teeth are being pulled (yeahhhh, one little hurdle I still have to take ;) ) , she offered right away to take him whenever I was, for example very ill and couldn't take care of him (if this would happen down the line), and she said that whenever there's a reason I cannot take care of him anymore, she will take him back at all times, he can go live with her after his retirement...whatever, whenever. She will always be there for Dany...and that's a comforting thought :)
I'll be sure to bring my camera and take some pictures so I can show them to you. Wish us luck!
Saskia :)
GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, and M-O-R-E GOOD LUCK!!! :) :) :) ;)
Oh my gosh she sounds wonderful!!
What a relief to have someone to step in when, if there is a need. That woman is a true gem.
I really want you to have Dany too. So many things just seem right about that situation.
Fay of course is gorgeous and a sweetheart, but Dany, just sort of moved right into that space of "this is where he needs to be".
Can't wait till Friday!!! one more sleep

Okay...it's not going to be Dany. He's an amazing dog, really...what a great personality. He was precisely what I am looking for in a dog but he was extremely skinny. Not just a bit underweigth or skinny, no he was extremely skinny. And I have no way of knowing how long he has been this starved or why he is this starved. Intestinal parasites, something else....? If he is this extremely skinny because of parasites, he could easily have been infested with parasites for a long time and that could damage his intestines or other organs or affect him in the long run. If he is this extremely skinny because of something else...there's no telling what that might lead to. So, with great pain in my heart, I decided there were too much riskfactors healthwise.
Wish I was looking for just a dog, a companion instead of a service dog. The standards and demands or so difficult to meet and that means, like today, you have to turn down a dog, you really don't want to turn down <sigh>
I did upload a few pictures of today...because he's just sooooo wonderful :)
Saskia.
Awww drat :( Have they done any testing on him for parasites? What is the regular weight for his breed? You'd think they'd want to get that taken care of soon as possible.
Well, I am sorry it is not going to be Dany because his personality seems just right. However, that being said, maybe there is another of a similar breed to Dany, which you now know is a personality possible fit with you that you can find.
I refuse to be bummed more than a little as I think that it is important to you and to all of us who care for you and know what you have gone through with your canine companions in the previous years, that your next companion be a perfect fit and be healthy.
The search continues! The pictures btw are wonderful! You're looking pretty chipper yourself Sas. :) :)

Oh Saskia, I am so sorry that things will not work out after such high hopes. I know the right doggie is out there waiting to find you, but we were all hoping that Dany would be the one. :o
Oh, Sas, I am so sorry. I had really held high hopes that Dany was THE one. But I do understand your decision for sure! You have had enough heartache from babies that became ill not to mention seeing what could be a problem from the very start and needing to know the next baby will be able to meet your needs. I so understand. I also believe you will find that perfect baby soon. It is out there patiently waiting to meet your eyes. ;)
Drats, I do keep hoping you find your perfect companion... he/she is out there waiting for you to arrive so I hope your stars align and your next furbaby arrives in your arms soon x
Today I heard from the service dog school. Fay is about 3 months into her training and eventhough she will make someone someday a great service dog, she lacks the will to please that I am looking for. For someone else this will be perfectly fine but I so desperately want a dog with a bit more "content", if you know what I mean... Right now I will put the search on hold for a bit because right after Easter (so that will be tuesday :) ) I will go into hospital again to have the remaining teeth in my upper jaw extracted. And if it goes anything like after extracting my molars, it will take me 6 weeks to recover somewhat again... :( So for now I have to focus on what's coming and on recovering. Once everything has settled down and I feel good again, I will continue my search :)
Saskia :)
By the way, Happy Easter to all :)
