I posted last weekend about a puppy that John and I were supposed to go meet. Well, John finally got back from the auction but the woman still couldn't get ahold of the people that had the puppy.
Well, the woman finally called me a couple hours later. Turns out, it was a third party deal and she didn't know about it at the time. She thought it was her co-worker's puppy but it ended up belonging to a friend of the co-worker or something like that.
Well, we hopped in the car to go meet her and were 20 miles away when John started feeling sick. We kept going, but when we were 11 miles away he couldn't go any further and we turned around and came back home.
I was disappointed but I wasn't mad at John and I called the woman and told her what happened. She let me know the next day that someone else had adopted the puppy.
So we started looking again. I found a litter of Pit Bull/Lab mix puppies that will be ready next weekend and we were going to go look sometime next weekend and possibly adopt. I also found a Pit Bull puppy a few miles from here but it's another "third party" deal, the woman's aunt is fostering the pup for her but the aunt's husband wants to sell the pup now instead of giving her away. So it wasn't looking like that one was going to work out either. So I kept looking.
Then, I was on a random web page last night and there was a picture of a dog. John said "awwwwwwwwww, I want that". It was a picture of a Jack Russell Terrier. We had a JRT that passed away around the same time as our Pit Bull/Lab mix earlier this year. It was a sudden death, and we have no idea what happened to him. Jack was John's buddy. We had rescued him from a home where he was mistreated (kept tied to a chain 24/7 even in the winter, and was fed cigarettes
). He had so many issues but we loved him.
Out of pure coincidence I found an ad that a friend of mine had posted, needing to find homes for some of her dogs. She just had surgery and can no longer care for them. I emailed to see if I could help her out, and she told me about one of the dogs... a Jack Russell Terrier.
He's 4 years old, wire haired, very good dog, knows lots of commands/tricks, but she can't keep him inside of her fence. We're going to meet him tonight and most likely will be bringing him home. We only have to go about 3 miles so if John gets sick, he can just deal with it till we get back
.
So we went from wanting a female Pit Bull/mix under 12 weeks old, to probably adopting a male Jack Russell that's 4 years old. I'll definitely update everyone (with pictures!) tonight or tomorrow.
Oh, and we've taken in another abandoned pregnant kitty... we are officially crazy people!
