This ad on craigslist cracked me up and I had to share it.

Please help! After two long years of being on a waiting list for a dog, we have been notified by breed rescue that, at long last, our number has come up and ... WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY! We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know 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 up for adoption this weekend! They are described as:
One male -- his name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blond hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament tested. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all shots.
One female -- her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry blond hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times. on-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, would do best in a one child household.
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them. But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy. 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. We may need to place the children's sire as well if he does not bond well with the puppy. He is older but well trained and can be quite affectionate.
