Gerald update!

Hey guys! Here's an update on the little guy I posted about:
I called the shelter, the lady who answered was supernice. She said that he is so crazy hyper that the vet is having to keep him moderately tranquilized throughout his heartworm treatment to keep him quiet (Poor baby!) but he is an awesome dog. She said he won't be ready for around 2 or 3 weeks. I asked if I could put a deposit down on him to guarantee getting him, and she said no, because they don't know what will happen with his heartworm treatment in the next few weeks. (Although she did say all the dogs they've treated for heartworm have come through it successfully, so I don't see the problem, grr). They don't have the facilities to x-ray the dogs, they are just able to see if they're heartworm positive, so they don't know how extensive the heartworm is. She also asked if I was the girl who called last night and left a message, which I did not! So other people are interested in him, grrrr! She said as soon as he comes off medical hold, he will be available for adoption, so just check the website everyday. :( I hope I get him!! He's so great she says! And I think she was mildly impressed with my knowledge of heartworm and Bostons in general. I've had alot of time to read about dog stuff since I've been wanting a Boston since age eleven! Haha.

The suspense = killing me. Lol.
