I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

Well, it never fails…;)
I just had the house professional cleaned yesterday..
Oh, the kitchen just gleemed!Today, came home and the b's were all over the fireplace insert...
I could hear we had a critter in there.
So, put the dogs behind the baby gate, opened the back door, the door to the garage, the garage door and waited.Not too long, this young squirrel comes out chattering.
Does he see freedom and flee??? NO
he takes his little dirty squirrel feet and runs all over my kitchen!
HE left no counter top or item untouched with this soot from that
stove pipe!SIGH!
This is what happens when you try to have NICE things...
Oh, the b's when crazy and finally, I got so mad, I let them chase the critter to the backyard where he got up the tree and chattered at ME!
Then the b's went all over the kitchen, sniffing and checking to see
if there was another one in the house.Never a dull moment!

Well, I guess that is the cleaning GODS way of telling me I should have had the wood stove cleaned FIRST!
giggle.
I can't believe all the little foot prints…all over my wood floor as well.

I can just picture this little squirrel running all over the place and jumping from counter to counter (sorry about the kitchen though).

Ok, here is my tip for those of you who get to have this joy!
Not only do squirrels run all over, but where they stop, they Mark!
Yes, they leave little bits of squirrel pee where ever they GO!
Picture me pulling my hair out and you get the idea!
Sigh.
Just try to have nice things…when you have b's and squirrels, there is no friggin WAY!
laugh...kidding, now that I put cleaning the kitchen on me "to do" list. -
Oh my, sorry to hear about this but I too could picture the image of the squirrel running in your kitchen! Thanks for sharing, sometimes you just got to laugh about things because crying doesn't do any good.
