You think the lady who
bought the puppy ought to wonder? I say shame on the seller! If that was their first meeting, how can she possibly know what kind of home she just sold that baby into? Even if she is a great judge of character at a first meeting, it doesn't sound like they spent any time getting to know each other. Hopefully, they have spoken at great lengths over the phone before they met.
I don't want people coming to my house. My dogs live in my house and I don't want any germs they are not already exposed to brought in. I do sometimes allow people to come in but I am not comfortable about it. I REALLY hate talking to people out in the yard but my home is their sanctuary. Sylvia

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. |
