But, there is an empty crate sitting in my office. No new dog smell for Doodle the Poodle to find...
We went to pick him up....the over worked people at the Poodle Rescue accidentally told us he was heart worm free.
But, when we went to pick him up, the vet tech came out from the back and started giving me instructions on the heart worm treatment.
My eyes filled with tears....not necessarily for me....but, for the dog and for my kid.
She has been talking about it for weeks. Planning, shopping, name choosing. And here I was with a brand new plaid collar with a name tag on it and I didn't have the "all healthy" dog I thought I was going to get.
He will be treated for heart worms....but our family can't provide the "quiet and calm" atmosphere he needs during his recovery. A 1 1/2 year old dog and a 3 1/2 year old kid leave no room for calm.
Standard Poodles are hard to find to adopt. I am confident he will find a wonderful home.
Still searching...and will just be patient for the right dog.
