bellemarie | 11-23-2010 09:55 AM | what not to dare ask anyone! i got an email that truly made me feel ill!
a man emailed me enquiring about kukis upcoming pups... he wanted to know how old they would be in jan when ready to go (he misread about the dates) and if i could let one go a little earlier in time for xmas- it is also his daughters birthday that week to and she asked for her 1st puppy for her 5th birthday...
i explained about the dates mix-up and that they are to be born middle of jan and wont be ready to leave for some time after that.
but that would be too long- he wants one to hand her on Christmas morning with a little ribbon on it etc, because lady and the tramp is her fave movie.
i apologized (i dont know why) and re-explained the whole surprise present puppy' and the need for a 'child-proof breed puppy' and wished him the best of luck in his search for a slightly sturdier dog since shes never had one before...
so all that sounds fine, nothing too bad there.
'oh, but shes careful and she really wants a yorkshire terrior pup, because they are tiny enough for her to carry about. i saw one of yours is only 1 1/2kg n that sounds perfect for her... since your not using that one, could i not buy her it? we know its gonna stay small, so i'd pay your asking price for it if you could hold till christmas eve...'
OMFG! :eek:
he basically just asked me to sell my own child! my own tiny 3lb baby for his little girl to have as a play thing and accessory!
i genuinely don't have anything to say to that. |
