Ok, here's the word on my :

The original plan was for me to pick her up at the nationals the weekend after labor day...yada yada yada...

I got a call today: The foster mom is flying out with her and they arranged a layover at Dulles Airport. 6 MILES FROM MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting her almost a week earlier and I don't have to drive 200 miles to get her! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO. I just had an hour long conversation with the foster mom and it turns out she's the most angelic pharaoh hound she's ever seen (in 12 years of being in the breed.) I AM SO EXCITED, I'm a guy but I felt like having one of those Oprah moments where everyone is holding hands in a circle and jumping up and down. I

So after the "noise nuisance" phone call this is the best news of my short life. The only thing that could top it is...hmmmm...nothing that I can think of. I just wanted to share, I'll be getting pics soon and will post as soon as I get.

[sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif] Congratulations! Being a dog person, I can totally understand....although I would like to be on Oprah when she hides those goody baskets under the chairs [

I am not sure I've ever been this excited. To get a second dog is a good thing, to get a pharaoh is a better thing, but to rescue her from what was certain .....that's the best thing.

I found out more of the story tonight too. The owner's friend, at the owners request, took her to a "kill" shelter and requested she be put down, due to human aggression. When time came for the owner to sign the paperwork, the owner admitted that the dog had never bitten anyone but just didn't get along with her other dogs. A KILL SHELTER!

And now she's coming home to take away all my free time, spend alot of my money, and help keep my pillows warm, my couches covered in fur and my house full of love and squeaky toys. [

I wanted to share the good news with everyone here on Idog. I feel like we're all one great big long distance family. Thank you so much for all the good thoughts and wishes and prayers. [sm=proud.gif]

Ah, a man after my own heart! No, she's not going to be too too spoiled. [

That is totally awsome!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it when rescue dogs find a forever home that will seem like heaven to them, because we all know they deserve heaven on earth to make up for what they've been through.
