Be a post whore!

I'm looking at adopting!
He's a 2 year old male named Toby. There was another family about to adopt him but the reneged and are now getting a divorce instead. So, lucky me!
He has kind of golden blonde hair. He's potty trained (99.9%), and crate trained. They think he's a dachshund/dandie dinmont terrier mix, and he's so perfect sounding. Della and I should get to meet him on Sunday and hopefully we'll know more. Its a serious rescue though, so they do the whole couple of visits and home visit and then the foster mom has to approve me. I'm really nervous and I've never been through this process before. I know I know, its not the right time financially...but he sounds like the right dog. There will not be another dog like him and if he gets along with Della, then I'm not going to be able to say no. I've done the pros and cons, and the only real con is my finances are still a little shaky after my pro-longed surgery recovery. I owe my parents a bit of money so they aren't for the idea, but they'll just have to understand. Della needs a brother and its not been the "right time" for 3 years this June. I just don't feel like an opportunity like this one is gonna happen again for me. I have the cash for it, I just have to give my parents a good chunk as a show of good faith.
Sorry for being so me-centric.

Oh and my psychiatrist is sorta against it thinking it'll be too much stress, but I think it will be the good kind of stress. Besides, what does that pill dispenser know?
