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 ...

Yeah, and Clay can challenge me to a slap-fight if he's that offended.

Okay, who here would pay to see me and Clay Aiken slap-fight?

I would, and I'm sure you'd kick his butt.

I apologize to you also, for being vicious up-thread. I promise not to do it again, for at least five minutes.

OK then.... I'll admit nails are a little hard to learn to do, especially if they resist it. But to me, it sure seems like more trouble to take them in somewhere than to do it yourself, and if they squirm and bite, groomers will treat your dog with a LOT less love and patience than you will. Maybe you just don't want to see it.

Flea control is especially easy. Advantage is such an easy method that really works.

Clay Aiken can presumably take care of himself. Dogs cannot

My Jack Russell can definitely take care of himself. I have 3 Rottweilers that are terrified of him.

I'm not completely convinced that Jack Russells are dogs, per se . . . they remind me greatly of the wind-up-toy demographic.

I agree, this is the first one and the last we will ever have. Were getting to old. We took him to obedience classes which were called "Good Manners Class" and he attacked the instructor!

I have advantage, and it doesn't work for long (2 weeks at most!). I use the advantage on the chihuahua and another product (can't remember the name) on the pom. The pom will be groomed once every two months and the chihuahua gets dipped & nails clipped every 6 months. The basic wash is done by me in the bathroom sink. She doesn't bite the groomer... she's not handled very much. Maybe I just don't want to see what?

I want to spray the house and yard for fleas, to try to get under control, but my baby's pediatrician advised against it and suggested treating the dogs.

I've never had a flea problem if even ONE of my pets was treated. My dogs would swim and play in water and wash off most topical treatments, but I found fleas disappeared if I even treated just the cat religiously, which I did because he was highly allergic.

Maybe I just don't want to see what?

The amount of patience groomers have for other people's uncooperative dogs when they just have a job to do.

For us childless, our pets are our children. Rodney would do very well to bear that in mind when next he's tempted to pop off.

You can have my 17 year old if you like! This would solve that problem for you and I will not have to worry about killing her the next time she shoots off her mouth. She is a JR at your old HS and I'm thinking of sending her to an Austrian nunnery for her SR. year! ROFL

I told her a couple of weeks ago that if I had adopted her first she would be an only child. She told me I was the only adult she knew who had never been a teenager....

BTW, I have an 8 pound, attack dachshund I think a great deal of, but much preferred when I had room for Labs.

Dachshunds make me nervous . . . there's something about the look in their eyes that says, "If you were two feet shorter or I were 20 pounds larger, you'd be brunch."

San Antonio has several convent schools with walls of varying heights. Mom and Dad discussed several of them for me. They were partial to the one with the 12-foot-fence all the way around.

Well-said. Our next-door neighbor was killed in a car accident this weekend when she swerved to miss a damn dog running across the highway. Her two teenage kids are now motherless, but someone's little snooky-ookums mangy cur made it back home. As they told us back in driver's ed, just hit the dog!

Your post earned this comment from a small dog....

'course it probably would have been more effective if he'd been able to type!

It seems to me this isn't the first time I've read about a Petco giving a dog away to the wrong people.

But one would think that they'd have a system with a claim check or reciept to prevent this from happening. Frankly this is inexcusable.

The problem is crooks are always a step ahead. I would never have thought about needing a receipt. I guess I now need one from my vet, the station I leave my car at for oil changes, the cleaners .........
