I saw this on my cat forum and I figured you all would like to read it as well. It is funny, but it gets a good point across to people too.
Dear Rescuer,
Please help!!!! After two long years of being on a
waiting list for an agility dog, we have been notified
by the breeder that, at long last, our number has come
up and ...WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY!!!
Unfortunately, we must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY
because we know just how time consuming our new little
puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since
our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children
into rescue this weekend!
They are described as:
One male - His name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish
mix), light blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old.
Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament
tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the
toilet. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all
shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats everything, is very
clean, house trained & gets along well with others. Does not run with
scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon.
One female - Her name is Lexie, Caucasian
(English/Irish mix), strawberry blonde hair, green
eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at
times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament
tested but needs a little attitude adjusting
occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils
out, and is very healthy & can be affectionate. Gets
along well with other little girls & little boys but
does not like to share her toys and therefore would do
best in a one child household. She is a very quick
learner and is currently working on her house training-shouldn't take
long at all.
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do
what's right for them; that is why we contacted a
rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them.
Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy.
And would you believe, that on top of that, my husband has
developed a severe allergy to the children. His eyes begin to
water and itch as soon as he comes into the house. His asthma
has been out of control ever since our second child came along.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Bob, (my husband), also recently received a
transfer and we are going to be moving to a new community in Florida
that does not allow children, so there is NO way we could take them
along. We're really sorry, but we have no other options.
I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation
and we have a real emergency here!!! They MUST be
placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the latest
or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage
or along some dark, country road. Our priority now has
to be our new puppy.
