As some of you know my little (Biewer) puppy, Tank, is still looking for his forever home...so, I get this phone call around 9:30 last night.
him: Is the puppy still for sale?
me: Yes, he is still available.
him: What is your best price?
me: Excuse me?
him: how big will he be?
me: There's no way to guarantee but I'm thinking probably around 9 or 10 pounds.
him: Hmmm...o.k...I will give you half of what you are asking.
me: No, Tank is reasonably priced, Biewers usually sell for more than I'm asking.
him: But I will give you 1/2 of what you are asking o.k?
me: No. I'm sorry, I don't know you or anyhing about you and I certainly wouldn't agree to sell my puppy at 1/2 price just like that.
At this point he proceeds to tell me his name, where he lives who he lives with...etc...etc...
Then he says..
him: I have a female and she is in, what some people have said, is her heat season and she needs a husband.
me:
him: so I would buy this puppy and give him to my female as her husband and also let him be a playmate for my daughter.
me:
him: So I will give you 1/2 of your price, o.k?
me: I'm sorry but you can't have my puppy. I am pretty particular about where my puppies go and Tank will not be sold to the first person with a little money and he will not be sold as a 'husband'.
him: oh...well, o.k.
I mean...come on...did he think that was going to work? He probably doesn't even know what a Biewer is...it seemed like he was just looking for a male, of any kind, to toss in with his female. I can't believe people!
Needless to say...he isn't getting a puppy from me...even if he does have cash for half of what I'm asking! LOL!
