Ooops I've Done It Again!

[dollygirl]

Upset a co-worker.

She came to me last week saying her 24 yr old son want a Mini Schnauzer, she knew I had one and asked where she should go to get one.

I told her don't go to a pet shop or buy from a paper, explained why etc.

Lead her to the Dogzonline site, guided her through the breeders.

Explained she may have to wait and what she would expect to pay.

Asked her about her situation, she has never ever owned a dog.

So what did she do?

Bought from the trading post.

Bargain $500, puppy just fell into their hands, so lucky they are, they were delivering puppy to Sydney and the sale fell through when they rang...perfect, meant to be.

Breeder gives little info..no diet sheet, no worming details, co-worker doesn't even know what Microchipping is so not sure if puppy is or not.

Oh he is vaccinated just before he travelled up, breeder says don't let him go to a park for 2 weeks!

Baby is 8 weeks old!

Told her he will be fine to sleep outside, day and night!

Said just to leave dry food out to self feed! Someone is home all day at her house except for one hour.

Oh dear...by the time I had finished lecturing her she was almost in tears saying I don't want to know anymore!

What big mouth I have.

By the way they will probably make really good dog owners, love this boy to death.

How will I hold my tongue!!!

I can relate. I can understand when people just don't know any better but its got to be annoying that she ignored your good advice.
