[pyrnet] anyone want to loan a dog?

[HLE <levoy@bellsouth.net>]

I'm in an awful mood due to some really stupid horse owners.  Then I get home and see this message.  The italic remarks are my contribution to the ad.  Does anyone want to even begin telling the class what's wrong with this picture?!?  Can you say future pound dog?

Wanted: Small to Medium Dog

I have two children 4 and 10 who need a puppy (no, you think they need a puppy).  We are looking to adopt a puppy to love and take care of who has a good temperment and loves children (we don't want to waste time training).  Short hair that does not shed alot (one child has allergies) (and mommy hates to vacuum).  Small to medium size (child or puppy?).  We live in a great yard (what happened to the house?).   We also love to go to the beach, so the dog will have to be able to tolerate an hour car ride (won't pee in the car because we don't stop, not to mention the baking sun, salt water, sand, hot pavement, and "no pets" signs).  If a crate is available for the puppy that would be great too (makes it easier to haul her/him to the pound when we get tired of the responsibility).  I think we prefer a girl but am not opposed to a boy (we wouldn't know the difference).  A mixed breed is okay (ditto last remark).  We have been to the Humane Society without any luck (those humane society folks can be pretty smart).  I am off this week and would like to do this ASAP (I don't think this is the only week you've been "off").   Thank you.  XXX (aXXXt@axxxi.com)
