I was not going back there again. At all. Seriously. Not after making such a fool of myself.

He must have thought I was a complete and utter weird-do with the way I just blurted out random words and ran away. God I was such an idiot.

But I needed Max. I needed to continue my adoption. I needed to man up.

Easier said than done.

I had a couple of days to dwell on my lack of social skills, before Wendy, a representative of the RSPCA, visited my home in order to assess if it was acceptable living conditions for Max. Hopefully all would go well. I wanted my Max to be able to come home with me.

We started off with a tour of the house, Wendy taking notes now and again and then we settled into the sofa with cups of tea. She asked me various questions and I answered honestly.

The visit was soon over, and she was driving away after saying "well, everything seems to be in order. You should be receiving a phone call soon and then I'm sure you can make arrangements with the home on a time to pick your dog up."

I may have happy danced after she left. And ate cookie dough.

Which brought me back to thoughts of GorgeousJawMan. How could I go there to see Max without bumping into him?

God, I hope I will be able to avoid him.

But I kind of didn't want to avoid him. I mean, come on. He's GorgeousJawMan for a reason.

Hey. I just wanted to say a quick thank you for reviewing and favorite-ing and following and anything-ing that you guys have done in relation with this story. I really appreciate it. And I know that it is dragging a bit at the moment, but its not long know till Max comes home with his new mummy. *cough* next chapter *cough*.
