A lot of times when Hallee and Gracie go the Groomer, our Groomer tells me that someone who came in wanted to take Hallee home. Hallee is just a tiny bit smaller than Gracie and looks like a little cuddly bear. I can believe it that people would actually ask you this.What are people thinking, that you would actually give your baby to them. Heather |
One day when I had Davie at Petsmart, I had a lady actually pick Davie out of the strooler I had her in. I ask her to put her back and she was very offended. It scare me to death. I now zipper the stroller shut when I am in the store with her in the stroller. |

i had a kid (8 or so) once throw a fit because i wouldnt give her austin she said hi to him told her mother she wanted him her mother said " one day ill get you your own dog" she was like "NO i want him " then she started throwing a fit i hurryed up out of the post office !! I hate when i take the dogs out in the stroller they expect me to stop for each person and let them say hello when i have the dogs in the stoller it means im going somewhere not to just walk them around in it |

i think you should try something like, "they are part of the family and it would be like giving you my son/daughter." if you're feeling cruel (yeah, i know) you could say, "he has xxx disease and it costs us xxx amount of money to keep him healthy." no one wants a "sick" dog. and they have no idea...you could make up a fun disease with your family. that way it's a joke when you say it and you can smile at each other. like --giventakinosteosis, which affects his bowels--or pettinskininosis, which makes him highly aggressive towards strangers (if it wasn't for the $1200 a month suppositories). people say the same things about babies. "i'll take him for ya," "oooo can i hold him??" and in texas there is a hispanic superstition about "the ojo" or "the eye" and they canNOT walk by a baby without touching it. this drove me CRAZY! you just have to continue to laugh it off and think about how lucky you are that you don't drive people crazy and have enough respect to treat their kids and animals properly. also, i would be highly angered (not the word i'd use) by someone taking my dog out of a cart. i think you had every right to get on to that woman and screw her if she was *gasp* offened. making me angry just thinking about it. hope that was helpful! |
Re: Asking To Have Your Puppy i HAVE HAD THE SAME QUESTION ASKED OF ME, AND I JUST GIVE A SMALL LAUGH AND CHANGE THE SUBJECT, IF THEY ASK AGAIN I DO THE SAME THING. THEY USUALLY GET THE SAME MESSAGE ON THE FIRST LAUGH.:animal-pa |
I've had friends say things like "Oh you are so sweet, wouldn't you like to come home with me! I bet you would fit right in my bag..." But they are dear friends and I know without a doubt that they are joking and giving me a compliment on how wonderful Paddington is. I don't know what I'd do if someone I don't know ever asked me to give him away. I'd probably say that there are some good breeders and if they want one then they have to get one of their own like I did. My mom keeps threatening that she's going to steal him :p She dogsits for me, and every time I come to pick him up she asks "Where are you going with my puppy???" LOL I might get her one for Christmas, just so she'll leave mine alone! :animal-pa -O |
I have had people ask me if they could have Tucker and I laugh it off but I always get a sick feeling in my stomach...I mean the audacity!! The groomer we went to actually made me really uncomfortable because she apparently carried him around with her the whole day and kept talking about how she wanted to take him home...even the cashiers commented on how badly she wanted him. I wouldn't even think to joke about taking someone else's furbaby; I would just compliment and love on them with their owner's permission. I've been lucky in the respect that people generally ask if they can pick him up or pet him first but I would be appalled if someone just scooped him up...especially out of a stroller! |
When people ask me if they could have Conner, I laugh and tell them that they would give him back after 2 hours (and it's the truth!!!). He is a little bugger. |
We have our dogs in fashion shows sometimes..I ran to the bathroom and my stepmother held on to our Gizmo while I ran in. It was really crowded there so you just had to hold on to him so no one would step on him..anyway a lady came up to her and gave a little small talk and then actually tried to take Gizmo out of her arms!!!! She had to get loud and say no - he's my dog!! That freaked me out!! |
People always ask me if they can buy one of them from me. It makes me nervous when I'm taking them for a walk or playing outside with them and someone asks that. I'm afraid that they will break in and try to take them so I always lie and tell them how they all have really serious medical problems and require hundreds of dollars worth of medication each week. No one wants to steal a sick puppy. I live in a nice neighborhood but you never know with some people. |
