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 ...

No bumper stickers on it, either

LOL.

I have a personal thing against pomerians because when I was a paper boy when i was a kid there were two houses that had them. They bit at me every day for two years.

My AJ is going to chew up all your socks!

Good. But this "real dog" stuff is silly. I have three Bichon Frises, considered by many to be "puss" dogs.

We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We actually passed someone who we overheard say "I could never have one of those 'toy' dogs." We just laughed-- this imbecile had no idea.

My dog (needs her claws trimmed today)

Daschunds are wrecking crews. Pains in the A**. ETC, ETC.....

[Xenalyte]

Yep. Screw with my furbabies at imminent risk of loss of life and limb. When it comes to Salty and the felines, I do not jack around. They are my babies and are treated that way.

The folks who lost their dog are no doubt heartbroken.

"All dogs go to heaven" was a really good movie. LOL

BTW, what's the over/under on how many posts before someone mentions how many abortions are committed each year?

60.

Probably not, but if he doesn't back the hell away from this thread he's gonna get a beat-down from a big angry Texas broad who does not find him amusing in the slightest.

[Rodney King]

Rodney, have you been beaten up by the cops lately?

Not for a while, I don't think.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

This is going to be a bloody thread.

[MineralMan]

""All dogs go to heaven" was a really good movie. LOL"

Never saw it.

[sinkspur]

She DOES need her nails trimmed. There's a dog for everybody.

And, it'd be a much nicer world if everybody had a dog or two.

No bumper stickers on it, either.

I never, ever thought I'd buy a dog-themed bumper sticker...or any bumper sticker for that matter.

But the other day, I found an "I Love Great Danes" sticker with a picture that looked exactly like my dog. So naturally I got it and plastered it proudly on the back of my truck.

It's amazing how animals can change us.

[Diddle E. Squat]

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.

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.

[altura]

You probably do that too.

[Protagoras]

Can I have your dogs when you are through with them?

Not enough for dinner but if ya bunch a few of those little dudes together they can make a nice lunch.

[Xenalyte]

It sure is, and it's gonna get quite a bit worse if people don't quit cracking wise about feeding dogs to snakes and such.
