Sunday May 4th Joe, my friend Jean and myself were having dinner at Jason's Deli after a successful adoption day at Petsmart. Our little foster cutie Nettie found a great home and we were so happy. Jean was working on getting a stray pregnant basset hound rescued and brought to my clinic when I got the phone call I've gotten many times. The difference was this baby boy was already born Saturday May 3 at 25 weeks gestation. They always ask before they show your profile book to birth parents and this was prob the 6th or 7th call we have received in a years time. When I hung up I told Joe and Jean the situation and Jean got excited. I told Jean not to bc they like all the others won't pick us. We then met at the clinic to get the pregnant Bassett hound and got her set up for te night. My typical weekend in the rescue world.
Monday morning at work I was very busy and didn't even think about the phone call. I was in the middle of looking in the microscope when my phone rang and I didn't recognize the number. I answer and hear the adoption persons voice. She sounds a little different than normal but I tell myself not to get my hopes up. As she starts talking my heart starts to race and she said the three words I never thought I would hear.... "They chose you!" I sat down in shock. Did I hear her right? I must have been silent bc she asked if I was ok. I told her I wasn't expecting those words and she repeated "they chose you!" Then she tells me some of the process and then we hang up. I immediately call Joe and I could see the smile on his face through the phone. I believe the words were "that's awesome!" There was nothing but total joy in his voice. I then went through all my contacts blasting friends with texts and calling family. It was truly the best Monday ever!
