well, with this rescue I've filled out the paperwork, did a 45minute phone interview, had them comes visit my place, and they've turned me down for a total of 4 dogs I was interested in, 1 of which I personally decided no.
1st dog - all set to go, on the morning I'm supposed to go get her they call me up, "umm, we decided she needs a doggie buddy so no"
2nd dog - (which they actually suggested first) email me, "uhh, another adopter put in an application first" followed by another email of, "needs a doggie buddy"
3rd dog - (which they suggested to me) got adopted out of the shelter
4th dog - I decided no after meeting because it didn't seem aware that I was there. I'd hold out my hand and it would just walk right past me to see someone else.
5th dog - looks all good, then nope! someone put an email inquiry in the day prior (so they're not even approved and haven't met the dog) and I'm thinking, "if this dog's not available... why'd you bring it into an adoption event today when the people you're holding it for aren't going to meet her until tomorrow?" and they're not even definites, I can take the dog NOW.

...I'm getting a little frustrated. I know it's a series of bad luck, it's just getting tough meeting/falling in love with a dog and they're going "yes yes yes" and when you say, "alright! I'm taking this one home" they go, "oh wait, um... no"

Anycase, I'm meeting another dog tomorrow. This one is a different rescue, but I'm hoping if I like him they'll put him on hold for me while I go through their adoption process (forms, interview, home visit). I've been keeping my eyes posted on craigslist, which isn't as successful as you'd think it be. They're all for larger pit bulls and puppies and dogs being held by rescues

ah well, but through this it's keeping me mentally stimulated like a quest, and I need to learn patience when searching and things that are meant to be and right to be will happen in their own time and will come naturally. (my zen outlook in trying to remain positive and squelch my frustrated impatience)

corn - I admire people who don't have tvs in their homes. I LOVE watching tv, or at least having it on in the background while I'm doing computer stuff, but it also seems sad how dependent we are on tv.

twilight samurai - SO GOOD to hear from you! (been awhile :) with Prometheus, I still can't decide whether it's a good or bad thing that they've linked it with the Alien movie. Because the whole time I was watching I was looking for the connections. I wonder if that in some way hindered the experience?? Because one thing I loved was the majority of alien-stuff was all things that we've never seen before. Aside from the sleep pods I felt it could have stood on its own as a sci-fi movie.
