Another update from the adoption agency! She is doing very well health-wise, and it looks like they’ll be holding her for another two weeks after which she should be available to be adopted! Granted that’s 2 more weeks of waiting, but it gives me time to prepare. I replied and thanked her again for keeping me informed. It’s been so so hard for me to restrain myself asking for info every few days, but usually right after I delete a half-finished email, I’ll get one the next day from her. I also asked her how I sit with the pup - if I’m actually sitting first in line or if I’ll have to compete with others. I hate competing. And either way I really need to know if this is [nearly] a for sure thing or not so I can start preparing adequately (I said as much to her). But I think they (or at least she) are pretty impressed that I’m waiting it out for this puppy instead of going off to find the first available one. I think it underscores how much I want this particular puppy.
