And was talking to the Vet Tec. she mentioned A retired couple lost their Yorkie at 17 years old. I ask her to call them and ask if they would like to call me. They called the next day. They wanted a puppy but, were on a fixed income and had been looking for a small dog at the pound, for about 6 mo.s. But so far they had not found a dog under 20 lbs. (weight limit at the condo) that would work for them. So after talking several times and visiting them, I really wanted them to have one of my puppies. They were both retired teachers. Long story short, they did some dog sitting for us and he built us 4 amazing birdhouses and Wendal ( the puppy) got the perfect home. |
It wasn't so much that she was bartering the dogs, it was the fact that she said, "Whoever shows up first with the trade or cash is going to get her." The ad itself is very coldhearted, as if a tv and a yorkie have equal value. If you are going to barter your dogs, I hope the people who buy them have ample money or bartering skills for vet care. If a person can’t afford to pay cash, I wonder how they will afford vet care, and if they will be inclined to take shortcuts, with their health.
