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. |
Well I think your situation was
very different than the ad that was posted. The couple you ended up bartering with was recommended by your Vet Tech; you talked with them several times; you visited their home; they dog-sat for you . . . . . that's a
LOT different than saying 'whoever shows up first with the cash will get my discarded dog".
People don't take kindly to the latter attidude here.
