I think of Craigslist as a kind of "rescue", & I commend you for taking this sweet pup into your home. The original owners wanted a cute little puppy & didn't give thought to the commitment it'd take. (They often believe that they'll stop growing at 4 or 5 months!) Then the dog gets "too big", his hair becomes a nuisance, they didn't have time for housebreaking, they move to a place where part of their family (Benji) isn't allowed, etc. & they put him on CL & get as much money back as possible. (Had Benji been a mix or a bigger dog they might've sent him straight to the rescue.) Now that these people have gotten rid of Benji they're able to buy another cute puppy some day...& the cycle continues.
Geez, aren't I in a b****y mood today?
But I am happy you have your darling new baby & it sounds like he's found a great home. Enjoy! |
