Do you know about the weird woman who called on the found ad we ran for Homer?

No, you get a weird one also?

Our weird caller was a woman who was looking for her dog... I had described him as a black lab mix with a lot of white on him in the ad.

She said she was pretty sure it was her dog, but "ours doesn't have that much white on him, but my daughter dyes him all kinds of colors, so I don't know how much white he has on him right now." "HUH?"

I said he had a purple collar on... again with a bit about not being sure because of the daughter always changing them.

Finally, I asked what his name was, that I'd call the dog and see if he knew the name. Well... it was a racial epithet. I just rolled my eyes. No way did we even care if this was her dog. How exactly does one go about 'dying' more white onto a dog?

I'd already told her, at the start of the conversation, where we lived, and she said she was coming. We just put the purple collar on Gidget and kept Homer in the house... figured, if she comes to see if a 'black and white' dog is hers, if she identified Gidget we would just tell her to get lost.

She never did show up.
