Then she posted a new ad and I just HAD to mess with her mind hehehehe...plus I just wanted to see how she would react to my email...wanna have fun?? Im bored enough to do it...lol Here is her ad..ill leave out her phone number and email addy PLEASE DISREGARD OUR BLUNTNESS BUT WE WERE AND STILL ARE HAVING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE FROM HERE AND FURTHER IN THIS ADD EXPLAINS WHY!!! WE ARE IN SEARCH OF A SMALL FEMALE PUPPY (THESE ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE)!!! COCKAPOO, s**tZU, SHI-POO, POMERANIAN!! NOT LOOKING FOR THESE SPECIFIC TYPE OF BREEDS GIVING PEOPLE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE SMALLNEST AND KINDNEST OF PUPPY WE ARE LOOKING FOR DUE AROUND CHRISTMAS OR LITTLE AFTER MUST BE FREE THOUGH AND MUST BE A FEMALE NO WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO BREED HER IF I SOUND BLUNT ON THIS SUBJECT FORGIVE ME WE JUST HAVE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE THINKING THAT WE ONLY WANT A FEMALE SO WE CAN GET HER FOR FREE BREED HER THEN SELL HER PUPPIES WELL NO THAT ISN'T TRUE!!!! WE HAVE EVERY ATTENTIONS ON GETTING HER FIXED WHEN SHE IS OLD ENOUGH!!! PLUS WE HAVE ALL FEMALE ANIMALS AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!! MUST BE GOOD AROUND CHILDREN,OTHER DOGS, AND CATS!! SO PLEASE CONTACT US BY EMAIL AT ******************* OR BY PHONE (519)xxx-xxxx 9AM-9PM PLEASE HELP US OUT SERIOUS ENQUIRES ONLY PLEASE AND THANK-YOU Roberta And Bill I emailed her tonight and this is my totally BOGUS response lol I have a 4 month old yorkie that I MIGHT be looking to place. I took her for a friend of mine who got sick shortly after purchasing her. I just have a few questions for you. Do you and your husband work? If so where will the puppy be kept when you arent home and for how long will you be gone from home during the day? What other breed of dogs do you have and how old are they? How old are your children and how many do you have. Do you have a fenced in yard and can I come and look at your home? She is old enough to get fixed now, will you be willing to have her fixed before she goes with you? She also requires a small breed puppy food called Royal Canin. Have you had any experience with a yorkshire terrier? They do require regular grooming. Sorry for all the questions. If I do place her in with a new family I want to make sure she is going to the best family possible. Thanks, Dawn Yes I know I should leave well enough alone..but this begging has gotten on my nerves!! Everytime you turn around here she is on every local website begging...Im not really an evil person lol..I just want to see if my instincts are right on this person. Hey maybe ill even do a home visit LMBOO JK!! Dawn |

| To me it sounds like some kid who wants one, but the parents wont buy one. I would straight up ask the person why they keep on begging. Your getting this poor persons hopes up probably. But maybe they'll learn to quit begging. Hey I have an idea! If you ever meet with them, bring a stuffed animal! LMAO That would be great!

| My boss recently decided that they couldn't handle taking care of their Shar Pei anymore (with 4 little kids and all). A friend of his told him this lady really wanted a dog, so he went and saw her. She must've looked ok because he gave the dog to her with no charge even though she insisted she'd pay. A few days later, my boss' friend happened to look on a local university classifeds forum and saw an ad from the lady... and she was selling the dog for $450! Of course she denied it at first and then stopped taking his calls... and eventually my boss had to buy the dog back from her because he didn't want the dog going to a place he didn't know. I guess you can't trust anyone! People could just beg for free dogs and sell them to make a quick buck. |

This reminds of of a lady who I once barely knew who begged us (other moms who had children in the same playschool class as her child) all for baby stuff including highchairs and strollers, cribs, play pens all for free. Her husband was losing his job and she needed it all so she could start watching children in her home to support their poor family. We all helped out and gave her all the stuff she needed. We found out a couple weeks later her hubby never was losing his job and she sold the stuff in the paper and made quite a small fortune. She later told another friend about what she did to us, laughing at how dumb we all were, little did she know I also knew that friend too. It was not pretty the next time I saw her. | |

| why would anyone give someone like that a free dog? she has pets already ? but they can't afford to buy a small dog! makes you wonder if they can afford to take care of the pets they already have and even their kids some people just have no shame at all!
