So, Friday I have a couple that start calling me almost deperately wanting the dog. I get a weird vibe from them, but I had another couple that was ahead them so I said I'd call them back once I got an an answer from the first couple. They kept calling and calling, and I told them to hang tight. Finally the first couple calls back and they can't make the decision because they don't want to be hasty.
I talked to them on the phone Friday night, and they were really strange in their demeanor. The lady even said that she was sick of being interested in a dog and then having the dog go to the next interested person. (WTF???) I wasn't sure about these people so I said, I'd like to meet with them and that I'd call them Sunday to make arrangements to that effect. But they gave me a weird vibe so I was really looking for someone else though...
After meeting a friend Sunday morning (who loved the dog, was a great fit and agreed to take him,) I called the other couple back and left msg to let them know that the dog was spoken for. They then call me and I didn't answer because I was on my way to a family dinner and I didn't really want to get into it at that time. Since I presumed they just wanted to argue my decision, I was gonna call them after we finished supper. Not even an hour later I get a call from my brother-in-law (who has been caring for the dog with my sister.) They said they were there to pick up their dog! Good thing my brother-in-law called me otherwise they might have taken off with Pepper. I knew there was something weird about them. They knew my brother-in-law was in the dark about everything, and they also knew I didnt' live there.
Man, I'm glad I trusted my instincts. What the heck is wrong with these people? I'm willing to bet if I called the animal rescue league they'd have a file on these people...
