Oh my yorkie-wawa

It has been brought to my attention by my dear friend Erika that there is a fairly serious problem going on in the pets section of Craigslist. Not only are there rampant grammar and spelling mistakes per the usual but people are trying to sell their mixed breed dogs for outrageous "rehoming" fees. Take this ad posted by "sexyalaskagirl09" for example:

i have a Yorkshire terror chiwawa mix 2 1/2 year old male dog. i do not have the time for him and it makes me feel bad so i need to re home him. he is kid friendly and gets along with cats. his mom is per breed Yorkshire terror and father is per breed chiwawa. he is worth 800 dollars and i am asking 300 re homing fee or best offer. he is long haired and very friendly comes with a kennel and two leashes and two out fits. im looking for a great home for him if your interested call

Okay, now I will hold off breaking out my red pen for a moment just to say this. What drunk person told you that your 2 1/2 year old "terror/chiwawa" mix was worth $800? Please tell me you did not pay that much money for him. And $300 is not a rehoming fee it's a rip off. I understand having to rehome a dog. After my divorce I had to rehome a "per breed" rottweiler and guess how much I charged after interviewing several homes for him? Yea, zero dollars. I sometimes feel like I am watching the world turn into the one Luke Wilson will wake up to in Idiocracy. Seriously? Three HUNDRED dollars?

I don't condone spending any amount of money for a dog with the exception of an adoption fee but anyone that would give you $300 for a redneck kennel club registered lap dog is probably a crazy person and shouldn't have a dog.

My friend Erika said to me one day,"No I will not buy your "labrakita" for $900." And I died laughing. Just because your husky got knocked up by a chow chow does not mean you can sell your "chusky" on CL for an outrageous amount of money. Just because you can own a dog doesn't mean you should.

And sexygirlalaska09 you have a Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix whose mom was a purebred Yorkshire Terrier and whose dad was a purebred Chihuahua. I mean really, you could have used spell check. Also, just for future reference "i" is always capitalized and so is the first letter of a sentence.

I won't give you $300 for your yorkie-wawa but I will give you a big F-- for your atrocious post.

Until next time spay or neuter your pets and if you're looking for a dog or trying to rehome them contact Alaska Dog and Puppy Rescue. :o)
