Our new 'baby'!!!!...UPDATE

I'm happy to report that after searching for the right sweetie pie to adopt, we think we've found her!

She's 4 years old, Pure Yorkshire Terrier, and just the sweetest!!!

We applied, got accepted, and visited her tonight! We're going back to visit 'April' tomorrow again, and hopefully finalize the details!!!

I can't wait!!!!

UPDATE:
So Friday night, DH and I went to meet with 'April', her foster mom 'Rebecca', and the adoption agency (Linda.)

April got along very well with DH, and we were ready to take her home. We received the adoption papers (didn't sign) and told Rebecca & Linda that we'd come back to pick April up on Saturday or Sunday. Great, right? WRONG!

I got home about 45 minutes later to a voicemail from Linda stating that Rebecca (the foster 'mom') was considering keeping April for herself....

Well...I just got the call from Linda, confirming that Rebecca is keeping April...so we do not have a new addition to our family.

I'm a little devestated, but I've accepted it and said 'it's not meant to be right now.'

So the search continues...

Oh, I'm sorry....
You have a great attitude about it....It's better that the dog has more than one home in love with her, than to be at a shelter or not adopted by anyone.
I know that doesn't make you feel better, but you've got a great attitude....'your baby' is waiting somewhere else for you to find him or her...

You're SUCH a positive person! You have such a great attitude about it that it's just not meant to be yet. It’s good that she does have a home and that you'll still be adopting in the future. I can't wait to see who you finally choose!

aaawww, that's so sad. Sorry to hear this, but as you said, it's just not meant to be right now. The right dog will come along for the two of you soon enough!

ohhhh you should keep looking for a Yorkie. We have one (we got him in Brooklyn too, might I add :) ) and he is soooooooo loving and wonderful. good luck to you in your adoption search!

I am so sorry! I do believe things happen or don't happen for a reason. Good luck - you will find the right addition.

AWWWWWWW I am so sorry. Please check out the local pounds and shelters-I have had three new customers come in with their newly rescued dogs this week and they are ALL WONDERFUL!
