Fiesta Friday #134

So, it’s been a whirlwind week here at Casa de Angie.

One child flew the coop and another came…

Here’s the full story…


The day my son was to leave for college (THE very day!), a local animal shelter called to say they had a puppy matching our wishes (small, non-shedding, hypoallergenic). Would we like to get acquainted?

Now, this is the one and only call we’ve ever received from anyone in the last two years, despite having applied to 3 shelters and 2 online adoption sites. So, of course we said yes!

We rushed to see the puppy. It was an 8-year-old white Westie named Skye, a little chunky, scared nervous trembling thing, with not so fresh breath. She was not that small, not non-shedding but low-shedding, and not hypoallergenic. But what the heck, we decided we were in love… Yes, we would take her!

Can the shelter hold her for a few days until we come back from moving our son to college?

The answer is no… They can hold her only for one day; that’s the shelter’s policy. But we’ll be gone for 3 days! Can we sign the adoption papers and pay for the fee now? It’s not about the money, they said. Of course, of course…

Well, if it was meant to be, she’d still be here when you come back, they kindly pacified. Of course, of course…

So we left, a little more depressed than we already were… you know, because the son was moving…

While we were gone, we called the shelter daily, to see if Skye was still there…

Oh, today Skye had another family getting acquainted with her and they have a day to make their decision… Our collective heart fell…

Oh, the family decided against Skye… Our collective heart grew. But we’ll take her to Petsmart today… Our collective heart fell again… We felt certain that Skye would go home with another family. Surely there would be someone who would take her…

Well it turned out no one did!

Skye is considered a senior at that age and the shelter said it is always hard to place older dogs. Well, Skye… we don’t really care how old you are, we want you…

So we’re now proud parents and siblings to a wonderful girl! Everyone, meet Skye!

Skye

So, just so you know how much of a whirlwind this week is for me, I’m also entertaining guests from out of town at the moment. That completes the story totally, doesn’t it? So you’ll forgive me, won’t you, if I didn’t have the chance to ask for cohosts? We’ll just vote again, okay?

Please come back on Tuesday to cast your vote. Voting will start at noon EST on Tuesday 8/30.

I’m asking for volunteer cohosts for the next week and beyond, though. Please leave me a comment if you would like to help. Thank you very much!

    Skye is super cute and simply adorable! It is so interesting to note how things/ people/pets are meant to be in our lives, isn’t it? I cannot get over the coincidence of Skye coming into your lives the same day your son moves to college.
    So happy Skye will party with us at Fiesta Friday!

    Angie my heart is in my throat. I just love little Skye and am so happy your stress in wanting her worked out. Tell your son she gets his room. They hate it when life goes on without them. After my daughter left we got new furniture in the basement and she took it personally. I am gone a lot through September but would take October 7 if it’s available?

      Oct 7 is perfect. I’ll put you down, thanks! Lol, I think my son would actually love that. Do you know what he said? He told me he would only reply to my text messages if I went to get Skye! Skye was sacred when she was first introduced to us and she came right to my son and buried her head in his lap! They had instant connection!

    Angie I am so happy for you and Skye is just beautiful. I also adopted a senior, Percy is 11 yrs old. They are the best and bless you for taking in a dog that many do not want and shelters feel are unadoptable. I will volunteer to be a co host whenever you need me. I cannot bring anything to the party this week, I have my hands full dog sitting for another dog that is not happy to be here, she misses her family and Percy is also not happy to share his home with another dog, ugh…. Happy to volunteer and congratulations again on beautiful Skye.

      I remember you talking about how rewarding it is to adopt these seniors and I’m starting to find out why. Most of these dogs are already house trained and pretty well-behaved, easy to care for. And they deserve a second chance in life. Poor Percy… tell him it’s only temporary ?? And I can use your help next week FF135, Labor Day weekend. Let me know if that’s ok. Thanks so much! ???

      You have a few more years, but boy do they go fast! Seems like mine was just 11 yesterday. I was cleaning up and saw a note he wrote to me when he was 9. He was angry over something and signed the note “with tiny love”…brought a smile to my face…so darn cute, right? And Skye is just the icing on the cake to a looong…week ??

    Yay – I have a new computer so sign me up for an empty spot. I’m flexible this Fall except for this weekend. I need a photo editing program – I know you and others use picmonkey. Any suggestions? I also have photoshop but need to get it reinstalled. Never used it yet! How’s Skye doing? That’s what I need a “senior dog” 🙂 Those eyes, pink alert ears – love, love, love.

      Oh good!! I need you for FF136 Sept 9, unless Mollie takes it. She’s been having computer issue herself. I need an experienced cohost that week since I’ve asked Shari to try cohosting for the 1st time. She has yet to confirm though. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out. If not then the 23rd is open. I’ll let you know.

      I find Picmonkey simple and easy to use, and it’s sufficient for my needs. I tried photoshop briefly but it’s a little too complicated. I really resent spending too much time editing photos ? But other people love it. I guess you can try PicMonkey and see how you like it. At least it’s free.

          Thanks! It’ll be the 9th but unfortunately Shari can’t do it. Let’s wait for Mollie, then. If she’s up for it, it’ll be you and Mollie.

            I know what computer problems are like. If Mollie can’t I do not mind going solo as I always take time to comment on every post 🙂 Whatever works for you is fine with me!

    OMGosh! How adorable is Skye ? I can’t imagine all the emotions your family have had this past week but so happy how things have worked out for you?? It’s a bit mean that the shelter couldn’t reserve her for you and unbelievable the other people didn’t want her… how could anyone reject that face! Glad you had something (someone) to take the edge off your son going to college… he’ll be back (with laundry) before you know it! Hugs to you & Skye x

      My daughter was saying…that shelter needs to chill!! Here we were willing to take her, and they still had to peddle her around?? I guess they wanted to make sure she found a home. Turned out she had been there since early July. Who knows, maybe we were down on the list. Which makes it even more special actually that everybody else rejected her. She was ours from the start ?? Thanks, Laurena! ??

    Oh what an adorable face and those sparkling eyes! Her coloring is gorgeous and that beautiful brown hair is so coo! I think she was sent to you so you would have something to occupy yourself now that your son is away! My Gibson was a “used” dog, adopted older, and Chance, too, was second hand, now that I think about it – but you and Suzanne have a great point about the rewards and not having to teach the early skills! I’m sooo tired from that puppy!!

    I can host the week of September 15 if it’s open – I’ll hopefully have good internet by then!

      That’s the only week spoken for in Sept, darn! But we can definitely use your help either Sept 9 or 23, take your pick. Probably better the 23rd? Just to make sure internet is up and running? Let me know. And good luck with Chance! When he’s finally broken in, it’ll be worth every second of training! I’m sure. I hope. I pray ?? Hang in there, Mollie ??

    Skye is an absolute cutie pie, Angie. Has she realized how lucky she is to have such a great chef close by to feed her? I hope everyone (humans and canine) are adjusting well to the living arrangements. (When we sent our oldest off the college, it took 2 puppies to replace her…yes, we’re crazy! Though those 2 puppies are now 11 yr old “seniors”.)

      She’s actually starting to whine now whenever I cook or eat. I’m trying not to give in but it’s hard! I gave her some of my banana & PB yesterday 😀 I can’t believe you took in 2 puppies!! You must be a glutton for punishment LOL. They’re fun though, right? 🙂

        Lol. They learn fast. I always keep baby carrots nearby when I’m cooking – they appease the dogs and keep the chubbies at bay. ? Actually 2 puppies at once was easier than one – they entertained and trained one another. You should try it sometime! ?

          I bought a big bag of baby carrots today and sweet potatoes too. If she doesn’t like them, I guess I’ll be eating carrots and sweet taters for a while, haha…

    Skye is about the most precious thing I have ever seen (except Buddy and Ginger, of course). It was definitely meant to be!

    Buddy came to us in a similar way. He was 10, not a girl (which we wanted), not a Lhasa ( which we were looking for and had just had 16 teeth pulled. We wouldn’t trade him for the world. He is 16 1/2 now.

    Enjoy your little bundle (of joy).
