Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Which Dog?

Henny

Billy


Taylor



I've submitted an application with a Golden Retriever rescue organization and am playing telephone tag with the person who needs to make a home visit. It's almost like adopting a baby with all of the hoops one has to jump through. Anyway, soon, I should be the proud owner of a new dog.

These are my favorites of the 14 dogs currently available. So, what do you think?
Update:
I downloaded the photos again. I hope that they stick this time.

They are all beautiful. Which one is the youngest?

I would go with Billy or Henny, Taylor's rep lives too far away, and is really hard to reach. Taylor has also been on the site for a while, ask them why...the stats are pretty low right now so there may be a behavioral/adjustment reason. The reps for the other 2 are local, you will have a much easier time facilitating a meeting and they can give ytou insight into the dogs personality that is not on the site.
Are you using Deborah? If so tell her who you are, I already talked to her about you, so your home visit will be a breeze. If not, Let me know and I can call her and speed things up.

Madwag, I'm sorry that you can't see the pics. I have no idea why that is.

beajerry, that is so exciting. I hope that you post lots of photos.

Connie, the first two are three and the last one is 18 months.

Sarah, my contact is Marisa. She and someone else, I don't know who, are coming over on Friday.

Taylor may have been waiting a long time because he is a mixed breed. I like him because he looks just like Tommy and may not have the purebred problems. How far away does he live?

I don't know Marisa, maybe she is a foster and is meeting the rep at your house.
Carol is fostering Taylor and she lives a couple hours away. I can give you her website if you want, but I don't know if she is keeping it up to date. The rescue site is a better resource.

Gary, Lisa and Karen, the photos have disappeared. I used blogger instead of photobucket this time. I guess it's unstable.

Sarah, Marisa is a failed foster. She refused to give up her foster dog when the time came. I would have the same problem.

I pick Henny. He's so pretty.

Taylor looks like she/he could use a special dog home like yours.

What a great dog site! I'm in love with all of your possible guys...it will be hard to choose.

My hubby and I will be filling out an application too...we're looking for a buddy for our 3 year old female rescued golden. Thanks to your friend who posted the site!

Lisa, Henny does have a cute face, but I think anon is right. Taylor looks like he needs me and I want to be needed.

Lisa, I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a playmate for Ginger. :)
