Default I've Been Taken Advantage of As a Vendor...

...and I'll allow it to happen again.

The snow was brutal this year, at least for some. I am thankful that I don't have to experience managing my dogs throughout a harsh winter. With that being said, I certainly can empathize with some of you who do. And, imagine not being able to afford proper care for your dogs? Gosh, that must be awful.

So how about I send you some snow boots and you can pay me when you get paid from work? Only 2 weeks? No problem I can wait. In fact, let me give you a huge discount on these boots so that it's easier for you. Oh dear, how has Rover been able to manage having to hold his paws up when you take him outside? Clearly he's in pain

So the boots were sent and I followed up with a "how are the boots working out?" email. I heard back immediately saying that they are an absolute life saver and requesting how to make the payment.

2 more emails and no response.

I have donated $25 out of my pocket for the well being of your dog because you couldn't afford it. I'm really happy that he was able to get through the winter without hurting his paws. Truly, I am. In fact at this point I don't want the money. Consider it a donation as I suppose you already have.

So apparently I'm a very gullible person. I probably shouldn't have taken someone's word that they would pay. I've actually done this several times before and it ended in a fair result.

With all of the above being said, I will do this again. And again. My care for animals far exceeds this learning lesson.

Thanks for letting me vent.
