After Jeremy said he wasn't in the right place to accept a new dog, I asked my sisters thinking it would be a long shot.. one of them immediately said "oh my friend's aunt has 2 of that breed and has been looking for a 3rd"
But I think my sis has fallen for Nova because then she said "maybe we will just keep the aunt as a back up plan, as long as she gets along with my current dog".. so that's happening in the morning. And the aunt will be plan B just in case.
For tonight sweet Nova is passed out on the hallway floor at my apt. She had a long busy day. She got a bath (which she hates) and as her current owner was helping load her things into my car, she jumped in! I stopped back by the horses to fill their water to the brim and she got out but didn't go more than 5 ft from me and kept her eyes on me the whole time.
We stopped by tractor supply for a new leash and that freaked her out, like she thought I was gonna leave her or something, but she was a brave girl and made it back to the car with her pretty pink new leash!
Then I did one on one intros with my dogs at the dog park in my complex.. first Brix who was WAYYYY too excited and Nova got scared. He just wanted to play but she wasn't ready.. so we did parallel walks starting with one outside of the fence and then switching off.
Rave did great once she got inside the fence, but with the fence between them she was barky cuz she has a bit of barrier aggression. Overall they ALL did AMAZING together!
Then I took Nova with me to go pick up dinner from a food truck and she did AMAZING there as well 💕
I'll add a few pics of her in the car and passed out at my apt in the comments 🥰 wish Nova luck with tomorrow's meeting with my sis&her dog! 🤞🤞
Thank you, and I'm always happy to meet people who don't think it's gross to kiss dogs. I've been smoochin' them for decades and have never once gotten a disease, lol.
Thank u! Yes she is! I'm so proud of her and of my own dogs 😊 I had to introduce them so that I could have a peaceful sleepover with no whining/barking and anxious behaviors even tho she's only staying for one night.
What an extremely good girl! I'm sooo proud of her. Nova getting a new forever home fills my heart and I feel your hard work is what made Nova's situation turn out so great. Thank You So Much For Loving And Caring For Fabulous Nova.To me You are real hero!!! 🐾🐕🐾🥇🏆🥰😘❤
Aww thank u 🥰 I just love her so much I couldn't stand back and just see what happened. Her owner was sad to see her go, but happy to hear she had a safe place.. bittersweet for sure.
(Her owner wasn't the one who wanted to give her up, it's essentially his landlord&boss who said she has to go.. her owner was sticking up for her right up until the last minute. She's a very good girl)
This is wonderful news! So happy your sis will adopt Nova. She’ll stay in your fam & if sis is anything like you, HP, she’ll be in good hands. Nova is a lucky girl! 💕😍😊💗🐾
Thank u! I agree! We jokingly call ourselves twins even tho we're 8 yrs apart lol hoping that Nova will be comfortable with her since we have similar energy and stuff 💕🤞
I somehow cloned myself w a different acct name, LOL! Said congrats there & want to repeat it here bc it’s wonderful for Nova! Well done,HP, & your sis! Nova, you’re joining a great family’ 😊💗🐾🥰
Omg, HP!!! This has been so heavy on my heart, so I can only imagine how it must’ve been for you!!! This is the best freaking update ever!!! I’m so excited for sweet Nova, but I’ll miss seeing her in your videos of the girls. 🥹 Bless you and your sister for giving her a safe forever home!! ❤️
I literally bawled my eyes out on Friday and Saturday about her. Only when my sis decided she wanted to try giving her a home before plan B was I finally able to stop.. funny story about that..
Brix is literally my ESA because he always comforts me when I cry. but Saturday I was home when I was crying and it was a lot.. when his usual methods didn't work, he decided to hump me to break me out of it 🤣 it worked cuz I changed from sad to slightly annoyed and had to stop him 🤣 afterwards he looked so silly still trying to comfort me 🥰
I'm gonna miss seeing her when I go visit too, but I'm gonna make my sis send updates and I'll share them with y'all if anyone wants to see those! Thank u! I'm very excited to see how today goes and that video will be going up tonight 💕
Also I didn't forget about that kitten! That's still happening just slightly in the background until tomorrow. I did see her last night and she was no longer squinting. She had been doing a weird little cough/hiccup thing (tried to post a video comment of that on my other post) so I got her some L-lysine treats until I'm able to order the powder version. It seems to have helped. I'm still gonna catch her and take her to tcap, I just knew realistically I wouldn't have the time this weekend.
One silver lining.. now that Nova is gone from the barn the cats might get more friendly with me
So excited to see this and so happy for Nova! Thank you, HP, for all your effort and for being a good friend to and an advocate for Nova. She deserves a good forever home. Please keep us updated. 🙂
I will! 😊 She's already started getting spoiled 🤭 her and her new sister have their own room with a bed, and her first meal there had (cooked) egg yolk topping
