this is an email which was sent to a local home owners assoc website. it is a true story but i have left off the name of the lady who posted it on that website. i found it absolutely hysterical. it went like this:
hello friends,
i guess you can say i'm desperate...i need to rehome my male, neutered chihuahua. he is approx 18 mths old and is very sweet towards me, but has multiple bad habits that i must be honest about. how much time do you have?? as i said, he is very loyal towards me, but hates just about everyone else. he takes a little time to warm up to strangers. he is good on a leash, but will run and chase anyone/anything/anywhere off of the leash, barking and nipping at them. anyone who has walked by my house knows my little terror named "prince"...and he is far from that. i must be honest because you will find out sooner or later and i don't want eggs thrown at my house. prince is wonderful about peeing on the blue housetraining pads, but he poops in the house. he won't poop in the yard if the grass is too high...he will poop and pee on the porch instead. he LOVES to sleep in the bed with me but he wants to sleep exactly where i am sleeping. he LOVES my adult cat named ralf, but hates any other animal and will terrorize them to death (literally). prince barks off and on, but doesn't do it incessantly...good thing, right??? his vet knows prince very well, as he has had all of his vaccs, neutering, and microchipping (God forbid someone steal him! ugh!) the vet has diagnosed prince with an allergy to---guess what---fleas! so, prince is on meds to control the fleas, but it hasnt controlled the itchiness and hair loss. he has to wear a muzzle to go to the vet because he will attack the dog and cat statues in the vet' office waiting room. prince is not good with kids...although my 9 yr old daughter handles him well. i have to leash him when her friends come over. he loves riding in the car. if you leave food on the table and walk away, he will jumpon the chair and help himself to your plate. i adopted prince online on craigslist one year ago...funny, he SEEMED fine then! if anyone is brave enough or knows of someone brave enough to take on this challenge, PLEASE contact me ASAP. prince is free...no rehoming fee...AND, this is a RED LIGHT SPECIAL, so NO RETURNS. thanks so much.
when i read this post from the home owners assoc website, i laughed so hard i had tears rolling down my face. i hope you all enjoy it.
