The Pet Shop....

[Kristol]

OK everyone send tons and tons of drool. I just turn in all my paper work to get the loan. Everyone says it will go though,I pray it does! I am going to open a pet store here in our little town. The closet store is about 50 miles away and it is nasty and all the fish are sick. Then there is Petsmat and PetCo but they are a hour and a half away. We don't even have a super center. So everyone we have talked to says that will do good. I am gonna carry Fish,Hamster,Gerbils,G.Pigs, and all their supplies. Plus Dog and Cat supplies.And hopefully Purina.I am waiting for them to call me back. I will carry a few puppies here and there that my Aunt breeds,and Hounds if Flash ever has any.But I really want to help out our shelter. I am going to get with them and see about putting some of their pups in the store.And have a huge photo board with pics of the animals that need homes on it. So far everything has gone good. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I think I should know something on Wed. So please keep all paws crossed that "The Pet Shop" Will get going.


BTW... The sign will say:
The
Pet

SHOP

With a big ole Basset in the middle.

I've got my fingers crossed for you! The hounds will send some good luck drool. I made some cupcakes yesterday, so we have extra on hand. I can send you some of Chris's too if ya need it.

Supporting the local shelter is a good idea. If you are the only pet shop around town, some people might think it's okay to dump their puppies outside your store but raising awareness for the local shelter will help.

Thanks Jenn. We need all the drool we can get. LOL

I have my fingers, arms, legs & toes crossed for y'all. I tried to tell these 2 babies to do the same but I have feeling they have at least one thing crossed in there, as they are running out of room.

I think what y'all are doing is great .... going after what you really want says so much about you. I'm jealous with a capital J.

Good luck Kristol Kristol .... I just know this is going to be a wonderful thing for all of you!!

[Kristol]

Well no news today. So keep everything crossed tomorrow.

[helensbassets]

I hope everything turns out great I l-o-v-e pet stores. I think you well do well I spend my far share at ours.

[Kristol]

Ok well......I talked to the lady this morning. She said all 3 members that have to approve the loan were not there yesterday. So it will be next week before we know anything. Man...... My hair is gonna fall out before then. Thanks for all the supposrt though I really need it.

[Jenn]

My hair would fall out too. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and send you some more Good Luck drool! I only have 3 cupcakes left, so I'm going to have to make something else this weekend to get Chris going again.

GOOD LUCK KRISTOL!! OWning your own business is a lot of work, but it's a great feeling. Plus you can bring the houndies to work with you.

I love the idea of teaming up with the Shelter for adoptions. I hope you are able to find lots of forever homes.

[Kristol]

Thanks!!!

Oh wow.....Best of luck to you with the store!! I hope it all works out for you. I'm really impressed that you have the balls to just go for what you want....I should take a few lessons from you.

[Kristol]

I don't know about that. I have wanted to do this for about 2 years. I just did not think I could.And to be honest I am waiting for them to call and tell me I did not get the loan.B/C everything else has just fallen in my lap.....which NEVER happens. Nothing has ever happend this easy for me so I am waiting for the other shoe (and box) to fall.

Thanks for all the support. I really have needed it.I should be hearing something this week.So send drool....by the bucket loads.And all paws crossed.
XOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

You sound so stressed out, Think positive I'm sure you got it. I have a feeling you well really be good at running your own business. You have a kind heart and dealing with animals and people well be right up your alley. Sending good thoughts your way.

[Jenn]

Think positive! It's the Law of Attraction. If you think that something will happen, it will happen, so if you think you will get denied for the loan, it will happen. Think about the final product, not about the stuff that could happen to get there. You will be a successful business owner!!
