handle them and when she slapped one across the face so hard that I could feel it,
I asked them to leave. The mother said I think we might want the puppy. I said
I would rather she called me back some other time and that she and her children
needed to build a better relationship before they would bring a dog into the house.
Yet I sold one to a truck driver that was going to take him with as a companion and
watch dog - it was not the typical family dog you would wish for but that was one I
knew would be loved by the way he interacted with him. He asked tons of questions
and I wrote everything down for him. He said his friends on the road were getting
him names of vets along the routes they traveled....he told me, he had lost his wife
a while back and since he loved dogs so much, he thought this would be good for
both of them. I really had a good feeling on that one but if you would have ever
asked me before he came if I would let my pup spend his life in a truck, I'm afraid
I would have said "no". If you love dogs, you can tell people who do in a minute. |
thx for sharing that story, Chrystal's mom.
