<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>My husband is a municipal water systems guy, working way
under his certification level as a meter reader at trailer parks. Part of
his job is to crawl under mobile homes and check pipes for leaks at the
meter. About two weeks ago he was under a home in Tecumseh MI, and
trapped in about 1.5 ft of space, on his back, unable to move much or look
around him. Something hairy rubs his exposed ankle. Now he can feel
it moving up the side of his body…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“Please don’t be a skunk, PLEASE don’t be
a skunk…”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now it is licking his neck, and he can turn his head to come
face to face with a puppy. After he crawled out from under the house,
puppy in tow, he knocks on the door and asks if this was theirs. “Oh,
that’s where he went, he’s been missing for about an hour”
This pup, a moving dust bunny, is a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix who was an oops
litter. They “usually breed their female to another pom, and we
haven’t found a home for him yet, do ya want ‘im?” <Gag>
<curse> <gag> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, DH puts them off for a week and talks to me, hoping that
they would find a home for him. The week goes by and he returns to that
trailer park as scheduled, when they tell him that they could get money by
selling him to the UM animal testing lab.
<gag><expletive><explitive><gag> DH has dealt
with this kind of stupidity before and tells them that they have two choices,
either give him the puppy for free and ensure that he would have a very happy
life with the best of care, or drive for an hour to get $5.00 for a puppy who
would be dead within a week. Sooo, they were convinced to give him the
puppy.<o:p></o:p></p>
