THAT was unpleasant!

Early this morning I had a nasty cramp in my right calf - the muscle locked up tight as a drum. That was one of the nice fringe benefits of being married, iraunink rubbed it out for me. My leg still hurts, but it should walk out in the next couple of hours.

New dog?

iraunink and I have given up on getting Hansle from Andrea's Angels. We filled out the adoption application on Thursday, March 29th. They explicitly stated 'if you haven't heard from us in 72 hours, contact us' - so on Sunday, April 1st, I used their web contact form to try to contact them. On Wednesday, April 4th, I sent an e-mail straight to their gmail address. We have heard nothing back from them. I'm very angry with them, because I was very excited by the thought of having a Havanese (which I have wanted for fifteen years) who was about the same size as Ziggy.

So, today we went to an adoption event hosted by Underdog Rescue, and met Castro. He's a Havanese, and he's about twice as big as Ziggy. We filled out an adoption application - I expect we'll be hearing back from them early in the week. The lady who will be checking our references lives in South Minneapolis, and Castro is fostered within walking distance of Theo Wirth Parkway - I anticipate little problem with this. I am additionally encouraged by the fact that Underdog Rescue has a phone number to contact them on their web site.

More on Andrea's Angels

After my last post, I decided to have one more go at finding an alternative contact for Andrea's Angels. I was hoping to find a phone number - what I did find was a Facebook page.

I left a post on the wall with a quick summary of my attempts to contact them, asking if there was an alternative contact method. This was about 2:30pm. I then when off to the Minn-StF Board Meeting. I came home from the board meeting about 6:30pm to pick up iraunink, and thought I'd do a quick check to see if there were any replies. Nothing in e-mail, nothing on my facebook - well, look at that! My post to their wall had disappeared.

I don't think my opinion of their professionalism can get much lower at this point.
