Shoe on the other foot...

As a few of you may know, my dogs play a large part in my life. I do
herding, agility, obedience and Therapy Dog work with them. I have a
large number of friends who do the same and share my obsession. Our
gang of four Corgi's and one Australian Shepherd bring hours of joy
to both myself and my wife. So this message that was passed along
to me, struck me as all to funny. (Since three of my dogs are
rescue's.)

A friend sent this to me, too funny not to share:

This is appropriate for the number of people who keep
putting their dogs up for adoption when they find out they are going
to have kids.....

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!!!

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 into rescue this
weekend!

The kids 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.

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.
