-sigh-
I should've known not to get my hopes up.
Here's how it went:
About a week ago, I get an offer of what could -possibly- be one of my top 3 most wanted pets.
It was adopted Dec 18th, so it wasn't full grown yet.
They seem nice, and I thought they'd understand if I waited to make sure before accepting.
Today, I check the trade, and guess what? It really is my most wanted dog!
So I hurridly hit the "edit" button, and send back the trade. (It was a trade suggestion)
Then I check their profile, trying to figure out when they'll be on again.
Guess what?
The day after they sent the trade, they started an art contest.
With the dog as first prize.
There's tons of entries, so I know there's no way I'm gonna be getting the dog.
Now I'm kicking myself for not responding sooner.
At least now I can look for other people to trade with?
