That’s funny, I was thinking that today’s the day, too. I hope it worked out and we have a new Doper dog! ---

Yes, hoping we haven’t had a report because OP is busy taking her new dog home. Best way to begin the new year, with a new pet. ---

Did you get the dog , and what will you name him ? I bet once he get all cleaned up and has a hair cut he will be smaller . He is a cutie ! 🙂 I can’t wait to see him all cleaned up and with a new hair cut. ---

What, nobody’s going to say that a small dog sounds like a perfect-sized snack for an Ocelot? 😉 Kidding aside, consider me part of the crowd that’s anxiously awaiting updates, and hoping everything is working out OK with the adoption. ---

What RTFirefly said. (I giggled for a good 10 minutes at the OP Name/Thread Title combo) A workmate of mine has a Bichon Adoptee he rescued on it’s last day at the shelter before the “big sleep”. His dog is exactly as you describe in your op Maggie. Coolest Dog Ever! According to him the shelter told him its a purebred, even if not a show dog. ---

the little dog isn’t on the animal control website anymore, so someone must’ve adopted him. StG ---
