@offtoneverland We will likely go through another rescue. I was more upset that they implied I'm neglectful of our current dog than I was about the rejection. We're wanting to adopt either an Australian shepherd or a border collie, or a mix of one of those breeds. In dream world we'd find a Bernese Mountain dog but there aren't too many of those in rescues south of the Mason Dixon line.
@doxiemoxie212 Ooh that is so pretty!! Love all the dimension!
@SkilledSailor I don't blame you. I would be really pissed off about it too. That is F'ed U! Those are all lovely breeds. FX you find the right pup for you soon!.
@SkilledSailor when we were looking for a dog the rescues were awful they basically shamed our work schedules and said it wasn't enough to have our parents come let the dog out on the two days a week we both worked so we started looking at breeders
@jhysmath I think that's why I'm struggling so much because I cared so much about my bridesmaids and try to make their life easier. So it kills me that this chick just doesn't seem to care. So she can return all the alcohol that doesn't get opened so I will be opening every beer bottle and wine bottle I can find
@saratiff Ugh some rescue people have some large sticks up their butts. I get proper vetting of applicants but y'all had a game plan for when you did have long work days. What kind of dog did you get?
I'm thinking we should have a GTKY: AW your pet thread tomorrow.
@SkilledSailor@Saratiff When we got serious about adopting a cat, we filled out an application with a local group. It asked us if we wanted a cat that stayed indoors, outdoors, or did both. We selected we were open to any/all. WRONG ANSWER. We were "supposed" to choose indoor only, I received a looooong ear chewing by the group. We ended up going with the another rescue agency and were more careful about our words some groups are intense! Sorry you felt so attacked, @SkilledSailor !
@SkilledSailor my parents have a Berner and find a rescue can be really hard.
AF reared her wicked head this evening, so I'll head to WTO in the morning. On the bright side, it meant I got to drink at trivia tonight, and we won, so that was nice.
@jhysmath I just got matried in July and I did the same thing with letting them luck whatever they wanted. I definitely think some people don't like the options. They just want to be told. You're totally right. I think most of the girls appreciated it though.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing:-5-4-3-2+1
Testing: not yet
Typical LP Length: 13
Rant/Rave: Rant: I feel like I accomplished that in my GTKY. Rave: I got approved to take 2 days off next week and possibly going on a road trip with my DH despite being in the negative with my PTO because of our honeymoon.
CS/Q: not at the moment
GTKY: If you could tell one person off with zero reprocussions (your choice, they could forget right after or you'd never see them again) who would it be and why?
The President of our company. I hate the way I've been treated. If he actually worked in our office on a daily basis I'd be gone. I love every other thing about my job though. I'd love to yell at my MIL. She can be high strung and annoying. I love her dearly but her passive aggresive bs gets old quick. Good thing she doesn't live near me either! Thank you for distance!
@doxiemoxie212 So beautiful!!!! I wish I could do that, but again, Bozo your hair type is perfect for it though. That color looks almost elvish on straight/wavy hair. I'd look like I was walking around with a poof of cotton candy on my head!!! Stylists always comment on being jealous of my curls but they can take them and all the frizz they come with. Pooh.
