When i had my flyfishing shop in Aspen, I always took my yorkies Sugar and Spice to work with me, Sugar was 4 1/2 lbs and Spice was 3 lbs. They were glued to my hip for 15yrs. and went to work every day, They had a nice big basket on the counter, and of course when no one was in the store they had the run of the store. To make a long story short, this couple came in and fell in love with Sugar and Spice, she asked what i paid for them and I told her 2,000.00 for both. She said she would give me 4,000.00 for them, as she was just in love with them, and the fact that they were so well behaved, and just sat in their little basket greeting customers, that she just had to have them, I polietly told her 3 times that they were not for sell, and she kept telling me that she just had to have mine. I told her that if she put the work in her yorkies as i did mine they would be just as nice. No she just wanted mine. I finally had to ask she and her husband t leave my store, that she was not getting my yorkies no matter what price she offered me, and as she was almost pushed out the door by me, was still insisting i sell her my yorkies. She kept saying she was giving me double what i paid for them, and i said no, i would not sell them for 1,000.000.00 dollars they are not for sale ,and that is final. Out of my store, and please do not return!

I guess it takes all kinds to make a world, but after she left I locked the door and took an hour to calm myself down. It was like she was going to take them over my dead body if she had to. Some people do have a lot of nerve, i was so close to calling the police to get them out of my store. Thank the Lord i was able to get them out, have a break, and get back to my business.
