Mini crazy cat lady
Hey. For years now I have wanted a dog, and I am finally in the right place to get one!
So off I went to the rescue centre, and instantly fell in love with a blue eyed Collie. I've had a collie before, so I know how much hard work they can be, and how bright they are. I enquired, and they said I should call to arrange a home visit.
Woke up this morning, and rang up to enquire about getting a home visit, and hopefully reserving the collie.
"Have you had a dog before?"
- Well yes, I've had a collie
"What happened to it?"
- It had to be put down due to illness
"Was it your dog?"
- Well, no. It was my ex's dog, but I was the primary carer
"Are you in a family home?"
- No, I live with my partner, but no kids
"I ask, as we like our dogs to go to special homes, not young homes. As your previous relationship split, it doesn't mean this one won't"
- Well, to be honest, I was with him for 7 years. It was not some fly by night fling
"Well, we like references from vets and other places. I will give you a call next time I am doing house visits. Goodbye"
FUMING is not the word! I'm 26, not 16. Why is my house not as loving a house just because I don't have kids, a wedding ring, or a mortgage! And what on earth has it got to do with my ex! Yes, we split. S**t happens.
Perhaps I'm over-reacting, but I don't see why she needed to have such a negative reaction to me. Surely the rehoming of a dog is the most important aspect, not my past relationship. Needless to say, I am going back in tomorrow to enquire as to what the problem is, and when I will be having a home visit. I don't do *waiting* for a call very well.
Rant over. :wave_cry:
