i got an email that truly made me feel ill!
a man emailed me enquiring about kukis upcoming pups... he wanted to know how old they would be in jan when ready to go (he misread about the dates) and if i could let one go a little earlier in time for xmas- it is also his daughters birthday that week to and she asked for her 1st puppy for her 5th birthday...
i explained about the dates mix-up and that they are to be born middle of jan and wont be ready to leave for some time after that.
but that would be too long- he wants one to hand her on Christmas morning with a little ribbon on it etc, because lady and the tramp is her fave movie.
i apologized (i dont know why) and re-explained the whole surprise present puppy' and the need for a 'child-proof breed puppy' and wished him the best of luck in his search for a slightly sturdier dog since shes never had one before...
so all that sounds fine, nothing too bad there.
'oh, but shes careful and she really wants a yorkshire terrior pup, because they are tiny enough for her to carry about. i saw one of yours is only 1 1/2kg n that sounds perfect for her... since your not using that one, could i not buy her it? we know its gonna stay small, so i'd pay your asking price for it if you could hold till christmas eve...'
OMFG!
he basically just asked me to sell my own child! my own tiny 3lb baby for his little girl to have as a play thing and accessory!
i genuinely don't have anything to say to that.
