Request for Homecoming Puppy
Moderators: Pike Ridge Beagles, Aaron Bartlett
I felt so bad how this turned out that my wife and out one night and met a young couple that were looking for a beagle. After talking with them for a bit I found out that he just returned from Iraq, but what they were looking for I didn't have at the time. Well I did but wasn't interested in giving up on them yet.
I took the dogs out every other day for a couple of weeks and 1 of them, the one I wrote about previously named P.I.T.A. short for pain in the a$$. Well she would just not come around. She would not run with the other dogs nor would she even sight chase any longer, she just wanted to hang out with me or whomever I was with. So the last time out a light went off in my head and I remembered this couple and figured this would be a perfect match.
I called them up to see if they had gotten a pup yet and she told me no, I invited them over with their kids to see PITA and it was a match made in heaven. I am proud to say what started off as a homecoming puppy that went crazy and fell through to a homecoming puppy in a different sense but it made me feel so good inside to finish what I started.
I told the couple that PITA was from the beagle community not just me and explained that it was something we ALL have wanted to do as our way of saying thank you for his service and her support.

Too Bad......
I had a similar situation with a beagle I was trying to sell. A "young kid" started emailing me about this dog and said his mom and dad had just gotten divorced and he had lost his beagle due to age on Christmas Eve and really wanted a nice dog to walk and take to the local park. Being nice I tell this kid to have his mother call me and we might be able to work something out.
His mother calls me and says they live two states away and they really do not have the money to drive and pick up the dog and also pay for it. I tell her that I will give the dog to them if they will come here and pick it up. A few phone calls later she tells me that her car is broken down and she will not be able to make it to Ohio to pick up the dog (meanwhile her son is emailing me left and right telling me how excited he is).
So having a soft streak in my heart I call her and tell her I will make the 5 hour one way trip to deliver the dog and that her boy could keep the money had saved back ($50) to help pay for gas. I informed her that this money should be used to help pay for food and expenses so that the dog would not burden her.
Story Changes.....
She tells me that his dad and uncles have several dogs for sale and the only way they would let her son have this dog was if I bought one of theirs while I was out there. Meanwhile, I had already scheduled vacation time at work and was planning this trip to deliver this dog free of charge!
I told her I was not interested in buying one of there dogs and that her son told me nothing about having "other" beagles. Then her cell phone starts breaking up.....ok you can't afford to pay for the dog.....your car is broken down......and your on the interstate in a car and you can't talk.
I proptly hung up and blocked their email address and phone number.....sometimes things just don't add up.
