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. |
Nothing wrong with that...I would do the same thing as long as I knew they pup was going to a good and loving home. When you think about it...selling for cash is just another trade of goods, all in how one looks at it. Barter for cash, barter for services, barter for goods...it's the quality of the home that counts. Not that I'm condoning the IPAD lady, but with 4 more on the way for us...with two "supposedly" taken (who knows people back out sometimes, so I never count on anyone's word as everyone wants a puppy but that doesn't mean they're willing to pay for one) one has to concern themselves with such things.
