I could have sworn i posted this post this morning but i must have imagined it /:)

Anyways wish us luck my family and our fourfoots and I have applied to adopt 2 chow girls that have come into shelter, non breed specific shelter and we have got a homecheck on saturday.....so nerve wracking wondering if two strangers will find us good enough for these 2 special girls, i hope so we are a solid family and i dont know what it is i will have to do to improve our home life if we are deemed not good enough. so wish us luck it would be such an honour to rehome 2 precious lives :)

they are black and 5yrs old they will if i am allowed becoming here living with my 10yr old efe girl (black chow) and 4 huskies who adore chows, i have been told due their coats state they have been trimmed very short if not shaven i am unsure on this point as yet, but who cares coats grow back with a bit of tlc. I am just so nervous dogs usualluy find me not vice versa, i hope fate is smiling on me and my kids. :D you will be bored of pics by the time i have finished :mrgreen:

Oh whao, they are purebreed and they are really beautiful!
Do you know something about their history? Why they are not with their owners anymore, etc?
For the home check I wish you good luck but I'm pretty sure you don't need any :wink: .

thanks guys you just never know and i do not want to get in front of myself they may just not like me as a person or our home, you just never know, i have no history as yet but i will find out what i can about them of course if i do get the ok from the homechecker i have never been so nervous...not about my home or other dogs just that i will be being judged by total strangersd and it will break my heart if they feel we are not good enouygh i would feel a failure to all my furkids, all that matters is their sweet in temper and their past is what it is... their past,

please have a look at my website its just for fun i make no money of it just in case your concerned about visiting and you may get a idea about the person i am. www.chowshuskies.co.uk :)

Wow - they are absolutely beautiful - gorgeous, gorgeous smooshy faces.

I am crossing my fingers and toes, and Chutty and Mias paws - all eight of them.

I can't imagine that they won't find you wonderful. I really hope you get these beauties.

Best of luck to you on your inspection.. Thats got to be nerve racking.. Its so hard to judge people on just one meeting .. but be yourself.. do they only do one time inspections??

Nice website too...

I really hope so it would be just wonderful...thank you for all your support its very humbling :oops:

i think it is a one off home check, unless they like us enough to make suggestions if they are not happy with something, i would be more willing to address such concerns. but will have to wait n see.

oh my I am so sorry not to get back to you all saturday. Unfortunately it has have to be postponed until monday night. So hopefully I will have news for you all then, due to timing and stuff I have had to take the risk and buy the 2 new bowls and beds we will be needing if they say yes, Because if they say yes on monday i will find myself caught out for equipment :!: monday night I think I will sleep like a baby :lol:
