ABC13 Eyewitness News (12/15/04 - HOUSTON) A Richmond couple is upset at a Sugar Land pet store they say gave away their beloved Pomeranian to a stranger.
Jana Brown says she dropped off her purebred Pomeranian named Mercedes to a Sugar Land Petco to get groomed more than a week ago, just as she has done dozens of times before. But ...

I smell a lawsuit.
Somewhere, a python has a full gut...
Well, at least now they have an excuse to get a real dog. If you want a ratty little thing, you might as well get a cat. At least a cat grooms itself.
A$$hole
For your doggie ping list
Gee, a thread like this sure brings them out, doesn't it?
STFU. If this happened to Salty and you were to mock me like this, I would personally come find you and kick your ass from here to whatever hole you crawled out from under.
Looks like the pet shop/grooming service will soon be under new management.
If you can't say something nice, post it anonymously.
P.S. -- You're a butthead.
Chill. He's not talking about your "dog".
The real issue here is that a person is sick enough to steal a Pomeranian.
Who would do that? Only a person demented beyond help. This person needs to be locked up. Unless of course they stole it to feed their pet snake. Then that'd be alright.
So VERY VERY sad. Makes me want to go home and hug my dog (she's a Basset).
And ... some of those posting here need to get a heart; vicious.
Totally agree. Some people give jerks a bad name.
You'd think I said something nasty about W on a "Day in the life" thread.
HOO Boy Rod baby, looks you stepped in dog poo with this one!LOL
amen sister
Salty? hehehe
Why do you call it salty?
Pomeranians are good for dustmopping and thats about it.
I hope they get their dog back. Typical of someone today to see something they want and think they're just entitled to take it.
BTW, Rodney: If you can't not be a dick, migrate to DU. They like your kind of nasty over there.
Good grief. People are more upset about a comment about a rat-dog than they are about the lies from the Left about GW!! WTF??
Rodney, you know better than this.
"Get a real dog" people are usually pit bull owners who have size issues.
The Coven would turn you into a Pomegranate.
Pomeranian = Miniature rabid badger
However, every snarling Pomeranian I've known has had someone that loved it dearly. These people didn't deserve this.
(Much like I thought after the Laci Peterson and Lori Hawking murders, I suspect the husband. No Pomeranian has enough love for two humans.)
I thought that was why they were bred!
LOL Hey change your name to ThePomeranianHunter. heehee
Good grief ya'll need to lighten up. It could be the dog was mistaken for the "theifs" Pomeranian.
Well, I hate the pit bulls and the other mean dogs as well.
Every parking lot in America does not have a camera. This one is in a large strip center and when I served on the Sugar Land 4B Corp. Sugarland Properties was talking about cameras but the 4B only agreed to retrofit the mall and I don't think any were ever installed. There may be on on the Randall's a few doors down, IF I have the correct PETCO in mind.
Hehe
I posted on another thread: If my cat can beat up your dog it's not a dog.
After going Christmas shopping downtown last night I'll add: If you can carry your "dog" in your purse, it's not a dog.
Glad you're here.
I can't believe all the @$$holes on this thread. This is someone's pet and their loss is very real and painful to them. Such knee-slapping humor here -- NOT.
LOL!
OMG ...... now you've done it!
Don't take the flames too personally. While I think it's terrible someone's beloved pet is missing, I really have no love for those rat-like dogs. I think they only thing worse is a cat!!!
I hope my post takes some of the heat away off of you!
:-)
How nice. You don't like small dogs? Don't get one. The folks who lost their dog are no doubt heartbroken. I'm sure they'd not appreciate your sentiments.
The sad lesson here is this: never, but NEVER, leave your furbaby in the care of some schmuck whose job pays minimum wage.
The keywords are not funny at all.
Don't have one.

I'm sure they don't, and if they were freepers I wouldn't post them. However, I must say something is very strange about a website where people joke about "darwin award winners" all the time, most of whome were loved by someone, yet one can't joke about a ratty little dog that bites the heals of everyone except its owner.
BTW is this the PETCO on 6 near Randalls? The one on 59 next to Coney Island closed and I don't know of another.
Yeah, I didn't post any of them.
They won't get much.... The market value of an adult pet dog is practically nothing, and that is all one can claim for it's loss. Value is at most the few hundred dollars they spent for it as a pup.
The best outcome to expect from the story is that the dog is found... returned or reported by someone with a conscience.
FWIW, I don't blame the store employee, who has never been under any obligation to double check ownership of dogs when people ask for them. So everyone, understand why next time, they will treat everyone with distrust.

Well bless your lil' ole heart.
If your are going to steal a dog, steal one worth eating. Those little things taste terrible.
I had to laugh out loud when I read this! I immediately thought about a house I visited earlier this year to set up a wireless computer network. I knocked on the door, and immediately hear much high pitched barking. When the door opened, there were quite a few Pomeranians all eyeing me! I asked my customer how many were here. She said, "14, I think." There were more in the computer room, that's where she had the nursing ones!
As I went back and forth through the house, several of them wanted a piece of my ankles. I imagine that there are a few folks on this thread that would like to leave you tied up in such a room, but you gave me a laugh!
It called
SCHADENFREUDE!
Live it.
Love it.
Same reason people call their dogs Fido or Jake or what-the-hell-ever. It's his name.
Are Poms the teeny tiny sled dogs? I heard that once. Wouldn't it be cute to see a bunch of them pulling a sled?
LOL,,,wow,,touchy touchy.
Good. But this "real dog" stuff is silly. I have three Bichon Frises, considered by many to be "puss" dogs.
I could give a rat's ass. They're the best dogs I've ever had, and that includes Labs and Collies.
What's more, we have a mini-van to haul the Bichons around in.
No bumper stickers on it, either.
