Interesting Greetings all and Happy New Year. As many of you know, I'm a Craigslist scanner. I just like looking at what's up for sale. Anyway I saw this ad posted under pets and I just found it odd. Thought I'd share. It was one line and it said: "I'm looking for a Yorkie that is real small and for a great price its my wife birthday tomorrow and that's what she want please email asap will meet you tonight thank you" (I copy and pasted it exactly. I added the italics and quotes). Thoughts? |

I think he is crazy... |
Could be he's just looking for a new 'resident' for the 'doghouse' he's gotten himself into...maybe something to take his wife's mind off the 'poop' he's been dishing out...:D I dunno...grabbing at straws, here. :p |
hahaha really would love to know how many scammers will be sending him emails. |
It's either a joke or a very cheap husband trying to make his wife happy without spending anything. |

Hee Hee...great minds think alike! :D Could be the dog he wants to get her is just a 'bauble' to cover his trail and keep her busy enough she doesn't ask too many questions! :p |
I am a craigslist watcher too...you wouldn't believe how many of them I see. I actually write them a polite email...talking about how careful a person should be when buying a yorkie and the mistakes I made with my first yorkie and things they should be aware. I usually get a decent response from the person...such as thanks for the tips. I try send them to a couple rescues that I help transport for or to breeders that I know of that have quality dogs. Never sure about follow through but at least I feel I've made one more person a bit more educated. |
1 Attachment(s) Well, apparently the guy isn't out of the "dog house" yet. Or maybe his wife has a revolving birthday. This was just relisted again. |
This guy could be a broker who just buys dogs for resale. Some people will think “awe” if he wants to buy his wife a dog as present for her birthday, and may be inclined to give him a good deal. There’s also the urgent factor, her birthday is “tomorrow” and we know this is a lie. |
