Sorry, just caught up with this thread and would love to offer help but we are just too far away! Sod's law, if it was not the Fun Day, somebody nearer surely would be rallying around. This is SO nerve wrecking and we are so hoping somebody on here will jump in soon. Fingers crossed Annie and Sandy will get on together but knowing Annie from the time Barney was fostering our little Elmer, they were best friends during Elmer's time in Barney's care..... and Barney surely still remembers what a handfull little Elmer was!

Heaven forbid, but ....What will happen if the two dogs don't get on together? Annie has a great capacity to welcome other dogs into her home-kennel, as she has proved many times over with fosters, & I certainly don't foresee any problems in that respect.
I'm signing off for a little while, as I need to take Annie out for a comfort break walk.

Yes, she's a star and just 'phoned us. We're not coming to the Fun Day being miserable people but the suggested day is Monday and we've left that floating in the air for now.
Perhaps you could contact the kennel to tell them that you agree to us collecting, ask about the paperwork, any fees etc. and "what if" the two girls don't hit it off (have to cover that possibility).
Philip has just gone of the Baldock or nearby to collect a lurcher from a Pound and we have a home check to sort out. To save me looking for the kennels number could you send me an email please.

Thanks Claire for offering and you're a Star. Anyone else can offer in case Monday isn't suitable for the kennels etc., as we're retired so we can usually fit in with most people.

Sorry Heather, but my poxophilous computer keeps freezing me out & I have to go through the rigmarole of shutting it down & then re-starting it, (I should have a new laptop next week, but that's no help at the moment!)
Thankfully my email appears to be still functioning, & I'll contact the rescue with your queries.

Any pictures of Annie for me to look at? I've emailed the rescue with your queries, & will let you know the response as soon as I hear.
Happily my email function appears to be working, which is more that can be said for my ability to post photos on the forum. There are, however, a couple on the 2017 Calendar Competition Golden Oldies thread - Nos. 9 & 11.
ETA: I'll email you the rescue's phone number.

Good luck Barney!! Keeping everything crossed for you that Monday goes to plan and that Sandy is the perfect fit for you & Annie. Really hope her playmate/buddy is just what Annie needs to reinvigorate her after your recent sadness.

I'm absolutely chuffed to ninepence that Sandy's long-awaited, (it's felt like an eternity!), arrival is imminent. I'm hoping, (indeed expecting), that her company will restore Annie to her former self, & that Sandy will be happy in her forever home.

What biffybob and Audrey said, Barney, hoping that Sandy will be the perfect match for Annie and her presence will fill in that gaping hole that was left in your and Annie's life. Will be thinking of you all on Monday.

I'm so glad that this has happening for Barney, Annie and Sandy.
I fell for Sandy and would have loved to have her if we weren't already full here! At one stage she was scared so sat on my lap, after pushing Gwen out of the way, and then wrapped her neck around mine. I can't wait for this to happen and it'll be a first time we've collected a dog from their owners, taken them to the rehoming kennels and then collected one again to start it's new life!!
There are just so many in the Pounds who are absolutely delightful dogs and we're doing our bit by "sharing" them on Facebook to find rescue places in kennels and some hopefully can then be into foster.
Looking forward to Monday lunch time at the kennel.

I'll organise the whole week's shopping tomorrow morning, (already done half of it online), so that I won't need to leave the girls on their own when I visit the shops, just in case Sandy suffers from SA.
ETA: You have a PM Claire.
