Alonzo called me on Sunday, August 26 and he said he never heard from me and he found a puppy which he is purchasing from a breeder in GA. Male, named Manly. He had to put Percy to sleep. He said if manly brings him half the joy that his Percy did he will be a happy man. He will keep my name and contact. He said he has to train his new puppy before he can think of anything else/other airedales.

Hello Alonzo and Joslynn,
I wanted to check in with you and your desire to adopt an airedale at this time. Barbara and I are both back from our vacations and we’re reaching out to everyone and checking in. We spoke with your veterinarian office and of course, you all received rave reviews. The next step in the process is to have an interview over the phone. I’d like to talk with you if you’re ready to proceed with the process. I can usually talk after work – I am home after 7pm. Is that a good time for you to talk? Please let me know and I look forward to talking to you all.

8/26 I sent a note to Jill and told her that after reviewing Ziggy’s records, he would need Neuter & Microchip. All other shots were UTD. Also told her about Braxton and asked her if she was intereted in adopting Ziggy, if not then I thought that Braxton was a good match.

Hi Sandi – I am so so sorry about your dog Tika. I hate that for you. So Birch is still doing great! I’m so happy. He is such a good looking boy. I have been out of town and Barbara Lawson too (plus her computer problems), so we’re behind! But it sounds like the dynamics are the same at your house except – moved a few doors away and the kids are older – and of course the loss of your Tika. I think its great that you all are dog walkers. That’s the best for the dog and owner relationship and of course the fenced in yard is great for exercise and sniffing all the smells.

Hi, Christina!
Yes, our address is different from when we adopted “Birch”. We now live at 15 Pine Ridge Trail. It is just a few houses up the street. It does have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for the dogs. We unfortunately do not have our precious Tika anymore. She got very sick and we had to have her put down. It was incredibly emotional and difficult. We still walk Cooper (Birch) daily….sometimes multiple times…on a leash. He is the most amazing dog we’ve ever had! We are very blessed!
Thank you for your email.
Sincerely~
Sandi Fisk

Hi Sandi, Barbara Lawson said that you applied for another Airedale last week. She received the application on Friday and by Saturday she had to take her computer to the repair shop. She did not get to transfer the application to our database before the computer loss. So – I am reaching out to you to let you know that we received your application and we know that you’re interested. SHe is going on a family vacation starting tomorrow and she’ll be back in a week and hopefully we’ll get back to speed including transferring your application to the database. She thought that your address was different. Are there any other circumstances that are different? Is your yard fenced? I don’t think that your other house had a fence so I assume that you all are still leash walking? Do you still have your other dog, a rat terrier? And lastly, the most important question – how is Birch!

> Hi Anita, I saw that you were interested in Kaycee on the FB page. Kaycee may be a very good fit for you all – we know that she is good with cats at her foster moms home. She is also patient and good with children as her foster mom is a grandmother and there is a 2 y/o child running around the house.

The humane society called ARG and Pat Painter went over and picked her up and took her to her own vet. The owner said that her leg had been broken when she pulled Kaycee out of the crate. We don’t really know if that is accurate. Pat’s vet evaluated her and looked at an x ray and it was decided that the best thing to do was perform FHO surgery on her leg. It was an old break that had healed and she was not using the leg. Her surgery was 8/17 and she is able to walk now on her leg. Pat leash walks her everywhere so that they can go slow and Kaycee can concentrate on walking and using all of her legs. When she gets distracted or tired, she lifts her repaired leg. Pat is crating her when she is not home – after all Kaycee is a PUPPY! She is very very sweet – Pat adores her but Pat has a Sr ‘dale, works full time, etc. Pat is taking her mother to Atlanta weekly for chemo and she really does not have time to have another dog.

BL & I think that we’ve talked to this man becuase he is interested in B’dale. Maybe he called Bay? Something rings a bell.
Hi Christina,
The groomers are going to call me to let me know how much it will cost for a basic wash and ‘dale cut. I really would not mind paying for it [as I did for Jazmin’s spading]. but my funds are REALLY TIGHT right now and I’m having to scrounge up funds to have Flora groomed–and she REALLY needs it, as well.
Obviously that response takes care of any chances of me being Beo’s mom–and I WOULD if I COULD. Obviously, we HAVE bonded. However, I would be quite concerned with him being in a home with any small children, much less big kids [remember, one of the reasons Cindy released him was because of his jumping on friends of her 12 y.o.]. He is ALL 90# Airedale muscle. His paws are almost as large as my hand-span. He would NOT attack a child, or another dog, but he wants to PLAY with ANYONE and he’s very quick to let you know that. I had him on a pincher yesterday for a short walk when we passed by a house where the owner was throwing a ball to her little terrier in the front yard. Beo had a fit and was NOT responding to the pincher [yes, I DO know how to use it without hurting the dog]. I knew he just wanted to PLAY, but it’s hard to convince the onlooker about that. ALSO, he needs to be able to RUN, CATCH, RETRIEVE, etc. on a daily basis. I’m not sure taking him to work, unless it was a LONG walk] would be good for him [although, he would LOVE to be with his owner as much as possible]. With a child, they might feel the need to crate him in the house. I personally do NOT like that idea, especially when the owner is home but concerned about behavior with young children.
I probably OVER-RESPONDED to you question, but Beo needs some intense behvior modification. He’s a GREAT dog with some very BAD HABITS, but NOT IRREVERSIBLE [did I spell that correctly???]!
E- at you later.
Deb
I sent a note on 8/24 to see if they still wanted a HV.
And C got a nice thoughtful response:

Subject: Re: ARG – Airedales
Christina,
You totally did not drop the ball. We were contacted by someone shortly after you and I spoke and we had to reschedule a visit and we have not yet done that. We are currently in planning mode and are wrestling with the breed choice that would be best for us. My experience with Irish terriers has me, more than Ann , leaning hard toward an Airedale. The most important thing we are wanting is a dog that will be a good fit for Grace who wants a gentle love muffin. Ann, who has spent most of her life with Lab’s has that temperament in mind; a dog that seeks out attention (in a good way!) and wants to be rubbed, scratched and loved on. My ol’ Irish boy was no love muffin and sought affection out on his terms most of the time but man was he always thinking and curious and loyal and vocal…like Airedales. If there is an Airedale out there who could fit that bill….
Let me talk to Ann and see if she would like to do a visit so we can be on the list should such a dog come ya’lls way.
Thank you for getting back in touch and after countless hours looking at your website and facebook pages, thank you for all you do to find homes for the beautiful animals.
Greg

Greg & Ann, I am really sorry that I have dropped the ball on re-contacting you about adopting an Airedale. I think that the last time that we talked it was June and I needed to proceed with the home visit arrangements. Well, I forgot, and missed out on making the arrangements. Are you all still looking for an Airedale? If so, I have a great lady who would be able to come over for a Home Visit – she lives 7 minutes away! Thanks and I am sorry for the very long delay.
