Kstme | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Another chapter in the saga of "Will kstme EVER get her puppy?" I now know why people don't buy things from overseas UNLESS they are there in person to do it! I found out yesterday afternoon that the bank in England refused the funds! They can be VERY picky and evidently some number wasn't on the correct line! Another sleepless night...calls to England between 1 & 5 pst begging and pleading for understanding from my breeder. Thank God, she is terrific! More info gathered from her to give to her bank. At 8:30, my banker here and I started the transfer process ALL OVER again! Another round of calls to England...banks were closed there...have to call back in tomorrow morning to "try" to confirm the money will be accepted. Meanwhile, the "dollar" funds have been LOST! No one has a clue where they can be...without those funds, Oliver (decided name) won't have a place to spend the night in Houston on his journey here. My bank is very appologetic, to say the least! I think they thought they were dealing with someone ready to go over the edge...not quite, but close! My bank has reversed ALL charges connected with this transaction without my asking! Sooooo...Oliver sits in England getting another week older and losing his baby teeth. I did get to hear him sniffing into the phone this morning! I will be so thankful when this is all finished! My family will be thankful, my friends will be thankful and ALL OF YOU will be thankful! Thanks for letting me vent AGAIN!  |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 12:25 pm     What about Western Union? I've used it to send money to Chile and it's there 5 minutes later. All you have to do is call them up and they charge it to your credit card. |
Kstme | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Grooch, that could be our next option! Hoping it doesn't come to that though. |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 04:03 pm     Kstme, there is also such a thing as an international money order. Get it at your post office. International Money Order |
Kstme | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 08:34 am     Juju...(GREAT name, by the way) Thanks for the information! At this point, I must admit, I'm more than a little discouraged and not sure if we will give up our quest to get him IF the bank screws up again! I do have my name on two lists here, with puppies being born sometime this spring, summer or fall. (sigh) |
Donut | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 09:59 pm     Kstme, i hope things work out- i think you will be getting him for sure! i cant believe you have been thru so much since we last 'talked' about this a while ago!! I also cant believe this bassett hound synchronicity continues! i was just on the thread where i was told i was a bassett hound, then they came on the Eukanuba show at the same time, and now i come here to discuss bichons and see your big posts on bassetts. That little dog test mustve lied- it said i was laid back, easy going and low maintenance and now i find out that i am riddled with stubborness and stinky skin conditions!! Groooch thanks for all the hours of posting you have put in here! btw, why dont they have a bichon episode.... Did anyone watch JR win tonite- boy i hate his haircut, but i go wild for the way he jumps and wags his paws whenever he wins!! i remember him going whacky last year, and this time he went crazy at the second that she approached him with the ribbon-its really amazing how he reacts like that!! He is so calm confident and professional and then the minute he knows he won he does his wild litle dance. omg-speaking of synchronicity, i have the repeat of the show in the background and was paying no attention when JR just came on the second i wrote about it. Do you think winning just gets him overcome with excitement or did he get trained to flap his paws like that when he wins? the way i am going, i think that my writing about Kstmes dog will make it appear at her door! Does anyone know anything about Shiba Imus? I saw a mom and her litter and fell in love with them, but not being nonallergic dogs dont think i could get one but they are so cool! another really cute pup i saw recently was a schipperke(spelling?) anyone seen them? |

Juju2bigdog | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 08:09 am     Looks like Juju as a pup. |
Kstme | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 09:42 am     Donut!...thanks so much for your good thoughts! This morning my breeder told me that Ollie is mine even if he is so old he's receiving a pension by the time we get him here! The funds are STILL in limbo! Western Union may be seeing me VERY soon! I was so down yesterday, I was ready to chuck it all, but my breeder is so great, she brought me right up again! EVERYONE needs to keep some positive thoughts on this! Donut...TOO FUNNY! I'm so sorry about the stubborn, stinky skin! OMG! You probably want to slap me, but you're too laid back, right? I don't anything about either the Shiba or schipperke. Babyruth...How cute! ROFLMAO! |
Grooch | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 09:44 am     What about overnighting a certified check or money order? |

Babyruth | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 12:00 pm     Donut, I read that your family bred and showed dogs, but I missed (if you said) what breed? I worked for a Collie kennel for two years after high school and did part time kennel work/grooming during that time for private breeders of Welsh terriers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, Old English Sheepdogs, Great Danes, and Irish Wolfhounds. I had a collie pup I showed in some puppy classes, and I also went to many All-Breeds and Collie specialties. Tell me about your dogs! |
Kstme | Friday, February 08, 2002 - 01:44 pm     Car54...hmmmm...a puppy shower? Hadn't thought about that...sounds like fun to me! Ollie already has his new bed, new toys, new duds and new food here! We've been getting our other Cocker "ready" for Ollie's arrival. He knows "something" is up, for sure! Babyruth...HOW did you find a site I DIDN'T have? I'd thought I'd searched out every site on the Internet and then some! THANK YOU! I am going to spend some time this afternoon looking through it! Grooch!...thanks for the Animal Planet Update! Don't forget Westminster on the 10th and 11th USA station live! Not sure the times tho! OMG...I see there's a "countdown thread"...OH MY! HOW COOL IS THIS?? You ALL are so wonderful! I'M SO GLAD WE HAVE TVCH!  |
Donut | Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 12:04 pm     hey babyruth, just left you a message in your folder and here you are again! See, another thing we have in common! We raised german shephards.We had litters of puppies named for letters of the alphabet and got up to M. Once we had a mom and daughter and they both had litters at the same time! We had a big dogrun in the back yard. We showed them too. I was pretty good at it and won in jr showmanship. I trained one dog to sniff out people and got her to find my sister up in a treehouse in the woods. It was fun- maybe my name comes from that subconsciously cuz we used to like to go to the dogshows and eat donuts! |
Car54 | Monday, February 11, 2002 - 03:02 pm     No one posted this, but this is one of my favorites: The Westminister Dog Show starts tonight on USA at 7pm et |
Babyruth | Monday, February 11, 2002 - 03:31 pm     TONITE!?!?! OMG Thanks for posting that! We were going to go out and run errands, but I'm putting them off now. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER!! |
