Marlene 14,113 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Little Cowboy has an interested admirer. My husband was walking him yesterday when he met a neighborhood lady visiting her Mother. They recently lost their Corgi and have a place in their heart and home for a new boy. They are an older couple with grown children and grandchildren. The Corgi, typical for his breed was a nipper, high strung and very smart. They have years of experience dealing with handling a family dog who might bite.......no biggee if you just learn each other's quirks and foibles. They have 3 cats, all older but all of them used to living with a dog. I have not seen him around a cat but he doesn't seem to have much of a prey drive. Send him good thoughts and wish us luck.......I'll let you know how it progresses. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marlene 14,113 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Feeling positive this morning :-) Cowboy's admirer stopped by again this morning on her way home (she was visiting her Mother). She wanted to make sure I had enough contact info and to let me know she was going to access the website and get things started. Cowboy remembered her and was excited and sweet with her. Please please please let this be "the one" - it's just what I would have picked for him. So.......now we wait and see if she follows through with the paperwork. She will be back over to the coast to pick up her Mother in about a week........... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Good encouraging sign she came over and followed up....She sounds serious .. Fingers crossed your on your way to a loving home Cowboy 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlene 14,113 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 They sent in the application for adoption........ I was secretly fretting because she said "back in the day" when they adopted their Corgi (who recently passed) her husband said he didn't like small dogs :-( But she mentioned in her email he is excited about her "magical find". Fingers crossed doing a photo home visit will work and that having 3 cats is not a red flag (they have all lived with the Corgi). 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

laketzu 832 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 If she's anything like me when I make a decision to do something (especially adding a new member to the family), she's probably pacing at home and thinking "I hope my application really went through... When are they going to call me back!?...I hope I didn't say something that they'll reject me!... What if another family gets him?" I think her heart is set. ? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When she came by to visit him on the day she left........her last words as she hugged him were "Ooooooh I wish I could take you home right now". I am keeping her up to date on exactly what I hear from the Rescue. A contributing glitch at the moment is the the huge wild fire burning at Big Sur CA. It's in the same county as the rescue and we're working with the local SPCA to find temporary homes for evacuated pets. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
