Well- I have sad news. I won't be adopting this Wednesday after all
The agreement I had with the previous owner was that I would be able to speak with the little boy's vet before I flew up to pick him up. She told me he was healthy and that she just wanted to take him in for his check up before I called and then over the past two weeks there have been a variety of reasons I've been given for putting off this contact. I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt that stuff happens, but now it's almost 24 hrs before my flight and she won't return my calls, texts, or emails and still won't even tell me the vets name. I'm going to call the airlines and see if I'll be able to get any of the flight money back- probably not at this point. It's not even the cost or the flight that makes me so sad- it's that we were so excited to add this little guy to our family and now it's not going to happen. I just can't feel good about buying a dog that the previous owner won't let me speak to his vet- I want to know what medical issues if any I will be responsible for taking care of right off the bat before I make a commitment for the lifetime of the dog. Especially since it seems there is some reason she doesn't want me to talk to the vet. It wouldn't be fair to Bella, my DH, or to me for that matter. I'm sorry for going on about this for so long- I'm just so disappointed. I feel like crying- which I guess is stupid since I never even met the little guy. Thanks for listening.
