If you dont do that is certainly is a reflection to me of what kind of life a puppy will have. Lucky to eat, lucky to get a pat on the head.

You are so right. These people SHOULD have hounded you with questions about their new pup. When I was buying Cali from Kathryn (I'm sure you and everyone else from YT remember that time hehehe

), her e-mail in-box was FLOODED with mail from me and her cell phone was ringing off the hooK! I must have sent her 4 e-mails AT LEAST a day. We ended up becoming really great friends too. I asked her HUNDREDS of questions and she answered every single one in great detail. It was a wonderful experience for me and I really enjoyed it.

If someone isn't that interested in your pup from the get-go, I would go with you gut and I'm so glad you did. I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding that baby a home where she can be a spoiled, pampered diva for the rest of her life!

WHO is the YT nut who just called here?!!

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........private number, asking for their deposit back!!
I fell for it for a minute, then I said "Your voice is not familair who is this?" after that, the person said "well if you wont give the deposit back, you can donate it to YT for the new provider" Laughed and hung up.
I love ya YT but who do ya think I am "Ivanna Trump" (except better looking)

I completely agree!!

But, you will probably never hear from them again...

They sent their deposit via Western Union? Hmmmmm - I used to work in the administrative offices at a bank, and Western Union has a HUGE percentage of scammers that use them. Maybe they were trying to scam you, but felt bad when it came time to close the deal? Did you ever cash the deposit? Or do you still have the Western Union check?

Very strange is right... but I'm so glad your little girl found a forever home!

I wanted to see if the previous people would call on their own. Nothing so far. If they call I would still send back the deposit. Very strange.

This is a great ending to the story and a great beginning for Fiona ... some people can be terribly irresponsible ....
At least you did the right thing. You were MORE than reasonable.

luvdorkyyorkies · 01-30-2007, 05:24 AM

They wired money to western union in my name not a check, I had to go to western union to pick the cash up.

And Jessy I thought it was maybe you fooling around and called me about the deposit being a stinker!! Gosh I dont know who it would be then!!! I really dont know anyone else that well..or didnt think.

This will drive me nuts, and you know its just a short drive. I was hoping Id wake up to "Gotcha and a confession"

I wonder who it was!

I am glad to read that your puppy found a good forever home!

When I was looking into getting Bella I spent hours and days on end looking up every single thing I could about yorkies. I made tons of lists of things to buy for her! lol
The lady I bought her from and I spent numerous amounts of time talking on the phone about her, the things I would need and so on!

clearly these people weren't ready and I am glad to read she went to a good home!
