Well, a crappy thing happened to my mom and dad. They FINALLY decided to get a dog (theirs died of cancer in May of '03)
They found one on petfinder that they wanted. They contacted the woman in charge (she's in Cincy, they are in Cleveland) THey had to fill out an EXTENSIVE application. They passed. They had to have a HOME INSPECTION....they passed. Today they called to see if they could pick up the puppy tomorrow......the woman said "all of those puppies are gone already."
They are crushed. They had gone out and gotten puppy food and training treats and toys....and now they have nothing.
They are a bit picky....they want a female, YOUNG (8-10 weeks) smaller dog (but not toy) preferably not long hair, great personality.
My mom was in tears on the phone calling to tell me this. I think it's pretty crudy that they made my parents jump through all these hoops and in the meantime led them on that they still had the puppies.
ok, vent over.
