Santa does less miles ...

We left here yesterday morning, the intentions were - drive to Kent and deliver a dog to her new home, up to Essex to introduce a dog to his potential new home, back to Kent to collect a dog and through to Sussex to take her straight to her new home. 250 miles later the entire day was a complete and utter waste of diesel, time, and a Christmas shopping moment lost forever.
The first dog was delivered safe and sound, all was fine and another dog happily settled in a new home before Christmas. Then we contacted the Essex drop to inform them we'd be 45 minutes, only to be told they'd got another dog from another source that morning and they were sorry but they didn't want us to come up after all. So down to Kent to collect the next dog and a phone call to her new home to say we'd be there within an hour and a half, to be told they'd had a hospital appointment come through just after Christmas so could no longer take a dog before the new year. So leaving here intending to deliver 3 dogs saw 2 come back with us. Then this morning the call we dreaded, the dog that had been delivered safe and sound looked like it wasn't going to work out after all ....... Ho Ho Ho Hum

  1. Ohh dear, what a waste of your valuable time Tania, but I guess if people can be that flaky they don't deserve to be owned by a wonderful Bullie do they? and it's best they hang on with you for the right person.

  2. Well I agree with Wendy wasting your time is pretty bad but they are not deserving of these beautiful dogs. I have applied online to foster and are just waiting to hear from you.
