Melissa, you and Josh are angels! I'm sure you new baby girl will come around soon. She's just not gonna know how to handle all the lovin' she is going to get. I can't believe that she is only 17lbs. When I started reading your post I saw crying at work, again! I'm so happy that you are giving this wonderful girl a real loving home. Cant wait to hear some updates and see some pics. Give her a big hug for me and a slobbery kiss from Ali.

Melissa...CONGRATULATIONS!!
You and Josh truly are angels for coming into this lil sweeties life!! I think it was destiny that brought you all together! DESTINY...that's a nice name too! ;) I also love Hope and Grace! Best of luck with her and please keep us posted on her transition! God Bless you all and have a VERY Merry Christmas! :)

Melissa,
Thank you for rescuing that poor little girl. Stories like this always break my heart.
Sounds like she is going to be very well cared for & loved in your home.
It may take her some time to trust you but she will. If anything when she does come around she is going to have such a strong bond with your family because you saved her.
I too like the names Hope & Grace. I also like the name Destiny. Any of them would be fitting. Good Luck & keep us posted. Can't wait to see pics of her.

A quick update

Ok I have been trying to call them all morning...ever since I woke up at 6...but they wouldnt answer their phones, I left messages too...they technically dont open until 10am...and right at 10:02 they answered...and she is already in surgery! I just really hope that they are very very careful with her...and that she makes it. For some reason they seem to not be worried...but for me its really hard not to. I asked my boss if I could leave a little early today and he didnt care...so at least we will be able to pick her up and not be rushing...I think I am going to hold off on her meeting our two when we get home today...Im gonna close off the kitchen and our bedroom so she can have some space and time to herself...Im sure she is going to be a little overwhelmed by everything, and Har and Max will both be very excited to meet her...and I cant wait for them to meet...but I think it would just be best for her to let her be for the nite...maybe even a few. Man...Im just so worried about her.

I really like the name Destiny and Promise...and Love is very unique and I like it...I absolutely love the name Grace, but Josh doesnt like it...he thinks her name should be Jasmine...which is sorta funny because it isnt anything about strength or her pulling through...he just likes the name and wants to nickname her Jazzy...he is so silly. So I am thinking that that will most likely be her name...since he isnt going for Grace...I'ma make it her middle name though! Shh...dont tell him. Haha...

I really hope today goes by fast. Josh is getting up early and going to Sweet Feed and getting a big bag of Canidae so we are all stocked up...plus some yummy bones for her too...and he said he is going to look for a pink leash for her to match her pink collar. Its so funny...he always wants boyish colors...as he isnt into the pinks and purples...yet he picks this baby pink collar for her...its so cute. Harlies collar is navy blue...and her leash is navy with white stars on it...and Max's stuff is all black. I just think its cute that she gets to get a girly color. I think its cool that the 2005 dog license is a pretty purple too...haha. :) (I dont know if they are the same or not in every state...)

Ok well I guess I better get going...just thought I would update you...Im going to call back in a few hours and see how her spay went. I dont want to bombard them with calls like I did yesterday between 12 and 2...lol they told me her temperment test would be done by noon...but didnt get done until 2...and I was calling every 20 minutes to see what was going on! Haha...oh well...I didnt want anyone else to get her once they put her up for adoption. And it worked...lol...so I guess I dont feel that bad about it. :)

OK...Im really going now. I'll update you all as soon as I know anything.
~Melissa

Oh yeah real quick...I charged my camera and I am taking it with me tonite...I will post pics tomorrow morning. ;)

Congratulations on your newest addition:) I can't wait to hear how she does once she gets home. I'm sure it will be scary for her at first, but you sound like you will do everything possible to help her through it. She's a lucky girl:)
