I received an email from a woman saying she wanted to adopt one of my little girls, so I called her for the interview.....I'm still shaking my head. First she begins to tell me about all the experience she has with dogs because she used to work at Petsmart, then goes on to tell me how she has a bad back and other medical issues so wants a little dog to spoil. Not to many concerns yet...then she tells me she used to raise dogs and a story about how she let one of her dogs out to use the bathroom and the dog came in with blood all over (she'd delivered outside and lost all the puppies). Bells are starting to tingle.... Then she tells me she wasn't expecting to pay so much for a dog because all her friends gave her dogs ,some pure-bred she pointed out. I didn't point out that we were not friends, but was wondering where all these "free" dogs she was given are at now
She then puts me on hold so she can take a call from her friend in another state (really). When she comes back on she tells me her friend found a Yorkie in our local petstore for $100, I didn't mention I was in there the previous day and knew they did not, or that it was 9 pm on a Sunday. I did, however caution her to check the store out because there was several complaints about them listed in the local topix section of the paper. She assured me she would know a sick dog because she worked at Petsmart. Did she really think I was going to let her have a puppy at any price, let alone free after everything she said?
