Well, Kane is 3 hours away and my plan yesterday was to take off work early to go meet him and hopefully bring him home. Unfortunately life, as it is good at doing, got in the way and I wasn't able to get there. As I was laying in bed last night listening to the rain, I was thinking about Kane and feeling bad that my family was all nestled warm in our beds while he is outside. He's been at the shelter for a couple of weeks now and is probably starting to give up hope of his lady coming to take him back home. I can't imagine how that must feel, to have had the love of one person since a pup and a warm home and then to be somewhere new, living outside with just a doghouse for shelter. Especially for a Border Collie who are happiest when they have that one person to focus on and please.
The shelter will be closed on Thursday and Friday so I'm hoping that I will be able to make it there on Saturday. I have such a strong feeling about Kane, much like I did about Domi. I just think that he is the right dog for us and that we are the right people for him.
***********I do just want to add one bit before anyone starts thinking too awful of Kane's past owner. The shelter told me that that she was older woman and unable to keep him (I'm not sure if it was a health issue or not). She tried for a few weeks to find him a new home herself before the people where he is at now took him in. She was very worried about him going to a city shelter. He is in a no kill facility now and while they keep the dogs outside, they do have shelter and are in a place that cares about them. They are completely vaccinated and on heart worm prevention unlike the shelter that had Shy Girl.********************

Wow...I pray Kane is the right fit for you. After reading the short bio, sounds like he's going to do fine with you and your critter friends.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and pray that you can pick him up ASAP...God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!
Kane will wait for you and the extra two days will be worth the wait in the end! The reunion will be so sweet! We can't wait to hear from you on Saturday!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Love ya lots

I still can't imagine how anyone could give up a dog that they have had in their home. I think I would go without eating first.
I think two more days will e worth it.. You will be able to go and get the little one and bring him home for some love and care.. Hugs GJ x
We hope the next two days fly by for you and you manage to get to Kane. If he is the right one, you will know. Good luck.
Happy Thanksgiving, the OP Pack

We are thinking of you and wrapping our hearts around Kane to keep him warm until you can bring him home with you. Look at it this way, you now have a little extra time to get any last minute tasks done that you may have overlooked.
