Well I returned home without him.

First the puppy is not four months, he is closer to a year old and not neutered -nether of which is a problem. something I can very easily take care of. Also he was "not sure" if the dog was UTD on his shots (I assume no). This is the dog second home within a year, he was recently purchased as a Christmas gift

Problem is the current owner is attempting to get "top dollar" for him by attempting to sell him on Craigslist. That part really scares me, gosh only knows who will get him. He is also willing to barter for him, so I offered up a brand new in the box HP Laptop (It is just sitting in my closet, a Black Friday purchase that I didn't need but the offer was to good to refuse).

Morally I feel like crap offering a piece of technology for a living breathing soul. However, I do not want this dog to get into the wrong hands and the fact he is not neutered really concerns me.

I kind of lied (okay I flat out lied) to the owner and told him I knew a lot about Craigslist and most people who look on Craigslist want the dogs to be spayed or neutered so he should remove that from the posting.

I am going to keep pressuring the man who has him, hopefully he will get sick of me and accept my offer. He happens to be my friends sons FIL so maybe that will work to my advantage also.

Keep your fingers crossed. I really feel this is the right thing for me to do even if I am trading a stupid computer for him.

I need to keep checking Craigslist and to see if the ad is still posted.

Thank you,
