CORGIII <3

OMFG YOU GUUUUYYYSSSS

Ryan and I went down to the Yuba City shelter to look at an Australian Shepherd and a Toy Jack Russell Terrier. There was no information about either dog other than a crummy picture, but I just felt like going there for some reason. Went there, discovered both had been taken by rescue groups or adopted, BUT...

First cage when I walked in. Young female obviously purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgi. MY DREAM DOG. Very sweet, giving us kisses through the bars and wanting to be petted. Shivering because she was scared in the kennel. Downright gorgeous adorable wonderful dog. She can't be adopted to anyone or even taken out of the kennel until Friday because they have to hold the dogs for five days when they get them in to make sure they're not sick or their owner isn't coming back for them.

Now, I'm not going to be surprised if someone turns up and claims her today or tomorrow. She's definitely purebred and looked well-cared for, and basically this whole situation seems too good to be true so I'm not getting my hopes up. The adoption fee at this shelter is $10. $10. But she has been there for three and a half days already, so I can't help but hope that no one is coming for her, and that no one else is crazy enough to leave early and come when they open to adopt her as the shelter is first come-first serve.

Tomorrow before the shelter closes I'm calling to see if she's still there, and ask if we can actually pick her up on Friday (one of the people said something about Monday, IDK). If we can, I'm leaving at 6 AM on Friday (or Monday if that's when we can) and going to get her.

Like I said, I'm not getting my hopes up too high because it really does seem too good to be true and it'll surprise me if there isn't someone out there looking for her, but...

Think good thoughts for me! :D If this works out I think I'm going to cry with joy.

She sounds wonderful and I am hoping it will work out for you.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[ensuing.livejournal.com]

Oh wow!! Good luck, I hope you're able to adopt her! I'm wishing all the best for you! ♥

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I really hope it works out, too. I'm so nervous! ;;

[slashaddict.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, awesome! I'm thinking good thoughts for you. Pre-emptive congratulations! :D

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Eeek, don't congratulate me yet! It's not for sure yet at all and I don't want to jinx it. ^^; I'm really hoping, though!

Also, added you back as a friend! :D Sorry I took so long--I've just been so busy lately and my lack of laptop (the cord isn't working) has made it so I haven't been online much.

[slashaddict.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool, thanks :D

I REVOKE CONGRATULATIONS. Corgis are awesome and I hope for the best :D

[bjango.livejournal.com]

Adorable! Good luck. ;D

Thank you! I'm hoping! :D

[kiraqueen.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking good thoughts for you! You really deserve a wonderful dog and I hope she's the one!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I hope so too. :)

Yay Corgi! (I am looking forward to the day I can get my PWC. ^^) I wish you the best of luck on getting that bunny butt. :D

I've always wanted a corgi! I thought I'd have to wait until I get out of vet school or something, but my mom is open to getting her if it works out so I'm really hoping things fall together just right!

[kneesocks.livejournal.com]

I am SO sorry for not commenting on your posts lately, I've been meaning to, but time gets away from me. I'm really sorry about the whole dog situation though... I've had to give so many dogs away, and I know it's one of the hardest things in the world to do. :( But I'm glad you aren't giving up!

This sounds like it's fate! Good fate or bad fate, it could go either way.. But I hope it turns out good! I really hope that you get her! She sounds so sweet and adorable, and dfghjgfd CORGIIIIES! ♥ :3 That is so awesome.

It's good to try not getting your hopes up, but I do hope this works out for you. You deserve it, and sdfghjgf CORGI CORGI CORGI! *3*

Speaking of Corgis, I saw a full-bred pembroke yesterday! I think it was my first time seeing a full grown corgi irl... I've only played with puppies in pet stores. She was SO adorable.... ;A; Bwah, such an amazing breed!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry about it! I've been awful with comments lately myself, with my laptop having problems and just generally being busy.

Yes, it was too bad about Tilly, but I actually don't feel too bad about it because I know she went to a wonderful home where I can ask for updates on her whenever I want. :) In a way, I think we were supposed to get her so she could end up where she was supposed to be--which was with her foster mommy!

I hope it is! Like I said I'm not going to get my hopes up too much, but I find out tomorrow either way. Keep your fingers crossed! :D I already knocked on wood today, haha.

Awww, adult pembrokes are lovely in person aren't they? They have such nice fur and they're really charismatic little dogs!

[astralvulpes.livejournal.com]

Wow, that sounds amazingly great. <3

I hope things work out. :)

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

It does! I hope it works out! If not I won't be crushed because I'm well aware that it could fall through, but I can't help but hope. ♥ Thank you!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Hee, I adore mutts as well. ♥ The problem is here for some reason nearly ALL of the mutts are large so it's hard to find the size of dog we want in a non-purebred... I swear almost every border collie mix is border collie/lab! We decided when Tia passed away that we didn't want another big dog because it's too difficult if they have walking troubles when they get older... It was sad to think that even if Tia could have survived and recovered (which we doubt she could have, but IF), we didn't know what we would do as far as taking her outside and all that. So we want a medium dog to go with Hana, who is medium herself.

I know, $10 is crazy! They have a $40 refundable spay/neuter deposit (which we don't know if she's spayed or not), but otherwise... $10. O___o; If I do manage to get her I may donate extra, heh.

Let's hope it works out! I know it could easily crash and burn in a second so I'm working on remembering that and not getting too excited, but hoping a bit? Can't help it. :D

Best of luck in adopting that Corgi! :) Sounds like you'd be a perfect home for her. ♥

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I certainly hope it works out. :D

[loika.livejournal.com]

;alsdkf;alskj I'M EXCITED FOR YOU!

I really, really, really hope you get her omg. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED YET

But I really hope I can get her too! C'mon little doggy, you just have to make it through another day without any owners picking you up. >3 Thanks so much for the luck! ♥

[eriolgal.livejournal.com]

Corgis are awesome. :3

I really hope things work out for you!
