some people SHOULD have pets... yup, i'm talking about me

[scoobyark]

She is very cute! And like JLC and catawhat75 already said Im jealous you have puppy breath!

[recycling goddess]

well we've just had a devastating phone call. turns out this is someone else's dog... at least that's the story we are getting.

phone call at 7:30 this morning: hi aleesha, this is _______ - turns out that puppy has a home so can you bring it back right away please. the owner has been trying to reach me all weekend and is devastated that her puppy was gone.

i said... what? you told me....

and she said, well i was wrong. it's a purebred pit bull and they want their dog back.

i told her about how upset my little one is going to be... how upset we all will be since we are in total absolutely complete love with this little angel...

but... she goes back.

supposedly the woman was getting her house fumigated for fleas (which i don't believe cause there's not a fleas on this little one... not one) and so she left her puppy in the freezing cold rain in this woman's yard with 4 huge rotties... and didn't come back for her for 24 hours.

makes no sense... my friend who knows these people is going over to talk to them around 10...

what a mess... what a huge mess.

but to us... she sure doesn't look pure bred pit. does she to anyone who knows pits well?

[JLC]

Wow Aleesha.....that just sucks! But the story does sound very weird and suspicious. Please, please follow up and be absolutely sure before turning the puppy over to anyone. Although, obviously, if it does belong to someone else, you have to.

[recycling goddess]

ya, my girlfriend is going over there to talk to her and her son... and try to get the real story. cause the story she told my friend when she needed a home for the pup and the one she told me today (this is the story she said she told my friend) didn't add up at all.

so... we need to find out what's really going on.

[Kristy]

Aww Aleesha I am sorry to hear that.

Let your friend talk to her, do not give that puppy back until you are 100% sure. Something sounds very fishy to me. I would personally talk to them and find out if they can provide any proof to you that this dog belongs to them.

Personally and maybe this is just me, if I were bug bombing my house my pets especially a puppy would be at a relatives inside where its warm, or boarded at my wonderful vets office.

That puppy also doesn't have a pit look to her. I just don't see it, definitely not purebred, maybe a mix but I just don't see it.

Pry and Pry and get all the info you can, keep that baby safe. It sounds to me like someone is trying to pull a fast one on you.
Also maybe have her checked for a microchip. Check with shelters to see if she has been called in as lost.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Now I can't claim to know a whole lot about pitts, but I've seen plenty of pit pups and that does not look like a "pure bred" to me.

I agree, I wouldn't just hand over the pup until you know what's going on for sure and yeah, if the house was being flea bombed then the pup would have had at least *some* fleas or eggs on her... it doesn't add up.
While cold will kill fleas, I doubt that 24 hours of it would be sufficient to kill off all the fleas on her.
Anyway, yeah, make sure of the truth before you just go handing her over and try to get proof that the lady even is the pup's rightful owner.

[recycling goddess]

that's what we're doing. my friend is over there now, talking to them and she is going to insist meeting with the owner as well before she hands over the pup.

brandi is still with us... safe and sound and will remain until we know what's going on.

she's sooooo darned cute! i just can't stand this... i'm so in love...

[Sasquatch Art]

I have had pits and mixed pits, truthfully that little beauty looks nothing of a pure bred...and actually nothing of a mix. Couldn't tell you what breed / mix she is though.

Wow I hope everything works out for the best. I agree with Kristy...very fishy...

[Shadowspider]

Wait a minute, I'm confused.

lady's son came home with her sometime yesterday. she found puppy in the yard, outside in the rain (it snowed near here last night so it was coooold) with her 4 adult rotties. all she knows is she came from a reservation near here (indian reservation).....

phone call at 7:30 this morning: hi aleesha, this is _______ - turns out that puppy has a home so can you bring it back right away please. the owner has been trying to reach me all weekend and is devastated that her puppy was gone.......

supposedly the woman was getting her house fumigated for fleas (which i don't believe cause there's not a fleas on this little one... not one) and so she left her puppy in the freezing cold rain in this woman's yard with 4 huge rotties... and didn't come back for her for 24 hours.

Now I'm wondering just *who* it is that's trying to pull your leg here?
But I do think someone is trying to pull your leg.

Maybe the lady you got her from just noticed the 'Reward' sign tacked up on the telephone pole down the road and she doesn't want to share.

I was going to say that it looks like there is some labrador retriever in there. I'm certainly no expert, but I grew up with a few labs when I was a kid and she kind of reminded me of them. I wouldn't believe pit bull, but who knows?
