Was I crazy to do this? Okay about 3 weeks ago i took my baby :aimeeyork Tucker to go shopping in georgetown(washington DC) with me, and I was crossing the street with my boyfriend and friend ,and a car full of people pulled up and asked to see him. Of course I obliged and one woman rolled down her window and I let her hold him,and she let the person inside the car beside her hold him also.Then the light turned green, and it looked to me like the driver of the car was going to pull off,with my tucker still in the womans hands :eek: ! So doing the only "sane" thing I could do, I panicked OPENED her car door,and snatched my baby away.The driver of the car then said that she was just going to pull over to the curb,so other people wouldn't have to drive around her. Maybe I over reacted LOOOOOOOL but my friend who was with me, just told me about her friend, who's yorkie was stolen by a neighbor.Plus the driver should of told me what she was doing before she tried to drive , CONSIDERING a passenger in her car was still holding :aimeeyork Tucker :mad: !!! I'd rather be safe then sorry LOOOOOOOOOOOL! Was I crazy for doing this looooooooooool! :confused: |
Not at all! People now days will do anything to get what they want and they definitely should have told you what they planned on doing. I don't know if I would ever be able to let someone in a car that I didn't know hold one of my babies. I am a worry wart and would be panicking the whole time! |
I don't think so at all. I don't think I would of let them hold him, but that's just me. But I would of done the same thing. They would of had to scrape me off the windshield if they tried to drive away with my baby. |
You were more trusting than I ... I would have politely declined to begin with! :) I can understand too, your never dreaming the car would move with your little Tucker in it!! The driver should've known what it looked like when they let the car move & your baby still in there! You shouldn't feel badly about the way you reacted ... heck, I would've reacted worse than just snatching him out of the car!! ;) |

Not at all! I would have done the same thing. I heard the same story over the summer. Only they did pull away!!! So, your lucky, I don't think you should do it again, as you were very lucky this time. :) |
I would have opened that door and grabbed my dog too. You just never know what peoples intentions are. I am sure you were shook up! |
was i crazy no, you were not crazy. I did the dumbest thing when I had only had Ceeby for one week. I stopped at a little mom pop grocery to get a soft drink out of an outside machine. I saw this SUV go by, then it turned around. This very nice lady chased me down and asked all about Ceeby. Said she was looking to buy one so I gave her my name and number to call so I could give her my breeders number. The machine took my money and this lady was so nice, without thinking, i asked her if she wanted to hold him while I went inside to get a drink. i thought i couldn't take him in the store. I was lucky, she carried him into the store with me. I have never heard from her to give her my breeders number after I told her what I paid for him. After it was ovwr, I was shaking at how stupid I had been. It could have been a thief. Fortunately for me it wasn't. but I learned my lesson. No one will ever hold my Ceeby again. I MIGHT let them pet him if they ask first but no one is going to hold him. |
I completely agree with you all,that was the last time i ever let anyone in a vehicle hold my baby! Thanks I'm starting to feel better, i 've been very paranoid ever since |
No! that sounds like the PERFECT dog snatching plan! Better to be safe than sorry later. You did the right thing,,, I have done some pretty dumb things, like- let STRANGERS in to use the phone. and later thought WHY did I do that... But, ya dont want them to think, you think they are crazy, but ya just dont know these days..there are some REAL wackos out there. |

You were absolutely right to do that! I never and I mean never let someone hold my Snoodles! For one thing she is too wiggly and someone could drop her and really injure or kill her. I just tell them she bites and pees all over strangers! That usually does it! Ha! Pat |

but at least you learned you lesson, it would be so horrible if someone did take off with your pup |
I would of grabed him too. You didnt know these people. and so you never know what they will do. I dont let strangers hold mine. They always want to but I refuse to let them. Theres so many germs out there I just done take the chance. |
I would have done it too!!. Of course I am totally paranoid, I pick up Olivia and hold her before I let anyone pet her, and No one will EVER be able to hold her but ME! |
People ask me about mine all the time too and want to hold them, particularly Lacey, my tiny. I'm not about put mine in a situation where they could be taken, so no you did the right thing. |
I guess I'm far to careful with my two furbabies. You certainly did the right thing to open that door.........I only let people hold my babies on MY turf, I can get pretty territorial over Gracie and Booda, glad it worked out OK for you this time.................. :eek: |
O no No way i would have hung on the window if i thought that my baby was going to be stolen.I mean there are a lot of weird people out there and a yorkie is so expensive that i can see someone doing that.You did the right thing.You still have your baby and what if they were telling the truth better safe than sorry.Besides do you think that you will ever see them again? Heather |
That must have scared you to death!!! Not to mention the fact that they were complete strangers! YES, they certainly should have told you what the heck they were doing!!!! I would have paniced too!!! |
With the weirdos out there today, you definitely didn't over react. There was a story on here a while back about a yorkie that was stolen from the owner's lap! I just tell people that I don't want holding Olivia that I don't let other people hold her. When she wants to get down, she gets really wiggly and kicky. I'm used to this and know how to handle the situation. I have no doubt that this reaction would be unexpected to a stranger and she would end up on the ground on her head. I figure it's no more rude to say you don't let others hold her than it is for a complete stranger to ask to hold your dog. I was always taught not to be so pushy and forward with other people's things, pets, or babies- petting is one thing, holding is another. I actually had a young girl try to grab Olivia from my arms once! Hello child- where the heck are your parents?! I could have slapped her! Back off my dog! :mad: |
Absolutely not! I know I would not have been able to think that quickly and would have been crazy for weeks reliving it any which way it turned out. |
YIKES!!!! :eek: Thankfully you have your baby back! I would suggest never doing that again :eek: :eek: . S C A R E Y !!!! |
No you aren't crazy! I'm from DC, but live in Texas now and trust me....you meet all kinds there. They know how to run "game". Plenty of folks always admire my boys, but no one has ever asked me to hold my dogs and I would never let them. I always say, he's skittish or wouldn't be comfortable being picked up. But it's the ol' evil eye that I give them that lets it be known....."Don't even try it!" :p |
No, if anything you are very nice. I don't let anyone hold my girls when we are out. I had a woman tell me I was B!@#$ because we were in Petco and I wouldn't let her pick Lexi up. Heck I don't even let most people touch her when we are out. My sister had her s**tzu stolen like that, so now I'm just a mean paranoid phycho...LOL |
I think I would have done the same thing if a moment of insane "niceness" overcame and I handed my baby over to someone in a car. But then I'm known for doing crazy things. I stood in the middle of a large Sears store once and scream, "My two year old is lost in this store and the store won't help me find him!" I warned them first, but they weren't doing anything. Customers were guarding entrances and searching fitting rooms for me, but the store wasn't doing a thing. Within 60 seconds of my scream, he was found. Security people came out of the woodwork. And I used to write my name and social security number on my baby when the weather was really bad. When I was a teenager my high school blew away in a tornado and there was a family nearby whose baby was separated from them for hours because the people who found the unharmed baby didn't know whose he was. I guess I'm just A LITTLE bit over protective. |
I think you're crazy for letting your baby out of your arms to someone elses. You didn't know these people from Adam. You should be more careful. |
