I was walking to my car as I left PetSmart this afternoon when I noticed a lady meeting up with a younger lady and at that point I just thought they were two people who knew & ran into each other in the parking lot. With the older ladies' back to me, I noticed her "ooooing" over what I thought (couldn't see) was a baby the younger girl was holding. Boy, was I wrong! To my surprise, the next thing I saw was the younger girl handing over a little black puppy (looked to be a pug or boston terrier), to the other lady, whose kids then came from their car and took the puppy while the lady got out her cash and paid the breeder for the dog.
I've read before about some people not being comfortable with strangers coming to their home & I understand the concern. Maybe it's because I've never actually SEEN this done before, but I did'nt get a warm fuzzy feeling from seeing that transaction. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that the only "paper" I saw changing hands was
cash
....no contract, no puppy packet, no puppy shot records, nothing but the puppy and $$$ money $$$.
Everyone seemed nice enough and happy so I hope my ill feelings were for nothing, but JMO........I just didn't like it.
I sure hope the lady had met the pup, his littermates, and his mommy, and knew what kind of home he was coming from before today.
