| 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? |

| 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... I dunno...grabbing at straws, here.

| It's either a joke or a very cheap husband trying to make his wife happy without spending anything. |

| Haha I was about to say sounds like a desperate man that did not plan ahead by saving up money for his wife's present and now is grabbing at straws trying to get something expensive she really wanted where he does not start 2013 already in the doghouse

Hee Hee...great minds think alike! 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!

| 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.

| 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. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | 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.
