Oh I'm sooooo happy!! :love: I had my heart set on this precious face http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=3589569&adTarget=468doggeneral&SessionID=41a278d03e021ea0-app2&display=&preview=&row=0&tmpl=&stat=
but he was adopted out to a family last Sunday. For those who haven't read he was returned the NEXT day for "growling at thier baby". He sat caged for 4 days and was tested yesterday. He passed with flying colors!! I called NASAP first thing this morning and NO ONE called back all day, I was so sad thinking he must have failed and was PTS. So I mustered up the courage to "bother" his previous foster home, and they have him back! They'd like to keep him there for a week to build him back up to what he was before all of this trauma. I TOTALLY agree, and he seemed happy to be back there! I've been physically ill over the past few days thinking about this dog :o I thought his name was perfect BEFORE as he seemed so down trodden and in need of confidence building, and I just thought it would be perfect "Justice" for me to end up with him and give him the tons of love that he deserves. Well, now I think it's "poetic Justice" that he was returned and I still have a chance for him. I'm going to spend the next few days day making certain I am up to the challenge of raising a nervous, shy pup. I don't think I need anymore time, but I'll discuss it with the kids and hubby ONE MORE time. :p Keep your fingers crossed for this pup, I think I'm just what he needs and he's just what I need. I'm over the moon that he passed, I don't know what test they used as NASAP still hasn't called, but the foster home said they even did the plastic hand in the dish test for food and he backed away. I hope this is meant to be. :D I'm all a mess of tears because I was prepared to hear the worst being as he's only 6 mnths, moved around so much in one short week after a crappy start at life to begin with. Yay for you Justice!
