| ![]() Kinda long story but here goes! I had a westie that had passed away and while on vacation in Pigeon Forge TN we was in the store and came across two stuffed animal Westies that was life size and looked JUST like him with CUTE little Christmas costumes on so my husband was going to buy one for me because I actually cried when I saw them so I held it in my arms while looking through the store and we started noticing employees kinda following us around and like "stalking" or watching us VERY closely and I started feeling like a criminal and was totally confused then finally two people walked up to us and LITERALLY snatched it out of my arms and explained that "its not for sale... only the costume " Well quite shocked I must say I was and our little girl kinda terrified and wondering why they had acted that way over something being toted around that was not for sale (obviously lol) My husband offered to buy it and they said " no its display only " . We then went over to where the dogs were to see if by some chance there was the little costumes hanging up for sale and maybe in all the emotion of seeing the dogs that looked like my little westie maybe we missed the costumes being the item for sale .....well there was no costumes there! Only the other westie and two other dogs that was a different breed ( I can't rememember what breed they were exactly though ....maybe Scottish Terriers? ) anyway that's it just the dogs by a fireplace looking thing NO costumes at all. Sooooo after being treated like we was one of Americas most wanted and them being pretty rude how they handled us not knowing the dogs weren't for sale but the costumes that was NO WHERE to be found I politely put the items we had up and left and I just vowed within myself I would never go back and haven't. My husband did do a search and found me the EXACT dog and ordered it for me so I now have my stuffed westie and my new little yorkie Piccino so I'm happy lol. I just suggest not picking ANYTHING up unless you know for a fact its for sale lol. |

| ![]() omg, how awful, I would not have been as polite as you were, to feel like you are being watched like you were going to steal what you had in you hands. You know lol, I had a similar experience in the shop where I live. It was this past Dec. I needed a quick gift for an unexpected invite to an ole friends house. In the past my friend would always get me a little outdoor something. Having bought yard ornaments from them last year I went to see if they had any since it was Dec. I was told seasonal was in the back of the store. Not being familiar with the store I went about looking for the item, muttering to myself why someone did not lead the way, because I was just walking around in circles, every time I would go back to an area I had been in I noticed a young girl was behind me, so the 4th time I saw her I asked if she worked there (because I could not find what I was looking for and my blood pressure was getting higher) when she said she did lol, I said to her " since you've been following me for the last 10 min. where are the wind spinners" lol, she didn't respond to my sarcastic comment, just took me to the area where they were. I was a bit up tight at the thought I was being "followed" by a worker, who was watching for "shop lifters" I live in a tourist area, I have a out of state accent, so I guess I was marked as a possible shop lifter. But you see I won't boycott this shop, now that I feel this is what they do I'll be prepared the next time I go there. I am not a "shy" person lol, if this is done to me again I will deff. say something. Because of what happened to me is the reason I asked you what happened. You just loosing your baby and to be treated so rudely I can understand you never wanting to go back to that shop. I would have gone to the manager and reported her for snatching the dog out of your hands that way and in front of a small child. I'm glad that your hubby found the same dog, he sounds like a loving, caring man, to go on line and search for what he knew would make you happy. a friend of mine years back had a little westie, cute as a button. Yorkies are a joy, I have had 3 females, all passed. I just adopted the one I have now ,the first male pup I ever owned he's 2 y/o a surrender not abused. I love the breed, they are little clowns, you will love the breed also. I feel so bad for you to have had to go through that so soon after loosing your furbaby. Thank you for sharing your story.
