What is WRONG with people?

I mentioned a few days ago that I've been getting a lot of random and annoying calls about foster dogs... people that can't follow exceedingly simple directions like "for more information, call H and ***-****"

The other day, I got an email inquiry about Haze and Snowflake from someone in W-ville. Says she's looking for 2 small dogs to adopt together, because her old dog has died and she has "a hole in her heart" without dogs around.
Okay, great. I sent her an adoption application, and some more info on the dogs, said I'd be happy to meet her in the middle to introduce her to the dogs since she lives quite a ways away.
Today I get back an email saying "Thank you, but I'm not ready yet, just looking. I do hope you find a great home for these two. I am interested in 2 but it is too early, just lost mine last week. Thank you."
So what the Hell? If you're not ready, why are you looking and asking about them? Do you think I'm going to just hold them indefinitely until you feel like adopting new dogs? WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME? Gah.

They can go together or be seperated, right?

They can go to 8 different pho restaurants, just so long as they go!

With you, so with you! I'm so glad your friend is taking Meya... Stupid people who insisted that the dog be a year and 2 was too old after gushing about how excited the were to get her... Bah!
Good luck...
Know of anyone who wants a seizure pug who's owner can't keep it due to her own health problems? I'm not taking it (was willing until I learned about the seizures - I think it would be too stressed here...) but offered to keep my ears open.

not off hand. only person i know that would be likely to take another pug is unlikely to take on one with seizures, since they already have a couple other dogs and a herd of cattle. But I can ask.

No big deal, just thought I'd put it out there. :)

She says she doesn't have time for an epileptic dog... between teenage kids, the dogs she's already got, the dairy, the job, the husband...

Reasonable!
