We got Nikolas a dog on the day before Christmas Eve, but it was a bigger dog, a Border Collie "Mix" that turned out to be a mix between Border Collie and Pitt Bull.
He was a good dog, and I probably would have been able to re-train him right, but he got to where he would get aggravated with Nik and tried to bite him twice before I posted him on CraigsList. Nikolas cried and cried, and we've gone two months hearing him talk about his De-Jager dog and ask for another small dog that doesn't bite. And I decided that when we did get another dog that I would get a small lap dog, and wait and get it through better channels than CraigsList.
Only, I do random searches on CraigsList every now and again. I put in our Post and look at everything posted under it. And this beautiful puppy came up. The owner sounded desperate, like she was about to leave or something, and needed the dog gone ASAP.
So I emailed, just to see, thinking the "rehoming" fee would be ridiculous, and found out that the girl who owned her works with me. She came down on her fee and even asked if she could just bring the dog over and get the money from me later.
The story is that the previous owners' neighbor had a friend over and Mia supposedly got out and bit this visitor. They all went to the community center about it and the community center manager said that the dog had to go. Apparently the neighbor even went and told the manager that he thought his friend lied, but they said there was a no tolerance policy in place.
So, Nikolas got a puppy at 10 PM on Easter Sunday. I'll let ya know how this one works out.
