Adopting a .... collie/borzoi!?

[elainegrey]

So, Christine and i chatted about dogs. She’s interested in about 20 lbs of dog that will run and play with Carrie. I want a shepherd  or cattle dog.

We did a little research and decide we want a corgi or vallhund.

So, we have just applied to adopt a Border Collie/Borzoi mix that’s 65 lbs in a Cary kill shelter.

Right.

Right now Christine is engaged in utterly cryptic communications with the organization. They've sent something about cats, which i assume is about the organization not being interested in placing Elvira in a home with cats, but Christine has alternative glosses that are just as plausible. When we asked for clarification the response was even less clear.

HA, finally a response came in complete sentences -- and they say Elvira has no interest in cats. http://post.rescueme.org/19-08-21-00069 -- They also seem rather positive about us as a good situation for her.

wait a minute...I'm rereading and this sounds like she's not joining your family? I am so confused (easy to do this week!)

No, i left everyone hanging. The agency had someone else who had contacted them first. But then they were very communicative with us, leading us to think the other folks were too far away. The other folks were willing to drive in from the coast, though, so Elvira went with them.

We're going to try having regular play days with my sister's dawgs: i think that will be a good solution to Carrie needing stimulation all around.
