Bobbee and I have been thinking about getting a baby brother or sister for our little puppy. Since we are both usually not at home all day, we thought it would be nice to get a little play mate for our pup so he is not bored alone at home all day. We found an ad in Tucson classifieds about a 9 week old Yorky pup for sale, so yesterday, I emailed that person asking about details. When I checked my email this morning, I had an email waiting for me in my inbox. Here is an excerpt from the email:
"Due to the nature of my job & my religion,i am a pastor that works for pastor chris oyakilome and i work for him part-termly & also i am into international contracts (sales and supply of Fabrics)so i'm in Nigeria, the puppy is also here with me and because there is nobody to take good care of the puppy for me here, so I decided to sell the puppy. So if you are interested let me know by forwarding your full name and address so that i can arrange for the shipping and i want you to promise me that you will take good care of the baby and you will keep me update with current pics. Puppy will be deliver nextday after shipping, with express shipping service."
This is so sad. I mean, first the Nigerian government froze the assets of rich uncles with unpronounceable names and now people have no other choice but to sell their puppies. What kind of a world do we live in?
P.S: I did notify the Secret Service and Yahoo customer service (because the scammers were using a Yahoo account) about this puppy scam. Hopefully they will disable that account before some naive old woman transfers her whole life savings to those Nigerian a-holes.

If you hadn't given away your cats (who hate you now), your puppy wouldn't be lonely all day...
