Clap, clap, clap, clap CLAP! It's not about being "right". It's about what's "right" for the puppy or dog. But this was a goofy story from the start. Someone can't pay whatever the asking price is? Then they don't get the dog. ESPECIALLY in this economy. RED FLAG! Spare me the stories of all the people you know who feed their dogs before themselves and who take their dogs to the vet before they have their own RX filled because I'm not buying it...sorry...not now when the shelters are FULL with animals whose owners' had the very best intentions. Poor dog...

I have often heard people say they just don't have the money to refund. If you are that close in your finances, then you should not be selling puppies, and should find a way to beg, borrow or steal the money to refund what you took in. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
