Help Elmo!

My sister texted me the other day to tell me that she saw a white schnauzer listed on her local humane society's website. (At the time there was no photo.)

I called my sister-in-law, Kathi, to tell her to go adopt him. She refused.

Jackson called Susie (his Mom) to go get him. No luck.

Then next day, I get this email sent to me and Kathi:
"I looked at the puppy on line and he doesn't look very cute. So I am not going to think about him anymore. Mom/Susie"

I was shocked! I had not seen a photo so I hopped on the website to see Elmo. He was not MacKenzie cute, but he wasn't terrible.

I wrote this email back to Susie and Kathi:
"It is unfair to compare him to MacKenzie aka the cutest puppy ever. Did you at least show him to Mary and Tom???? He is homeless, poor little guy." (Note: Mary and Tom are Susie's neighbors that had a schnauzer die last year.)

Kathi responded to me:
"I do agree that MacKenzie is one of the cutest puppies ever. Monty is a little rough but he wins you over with personality. Jenna, you know how that works you have Jack. I had thought about visiting him however, if he had a great personality. I might be in great big trouble. Have a great weekend. Grace has had a rough week and I have too. So have an appointment to get pedicure on Sat morning. Monty is getting to go to the puppy salon at the same time. Love Kathi" (Note: Monty is Kathi's part-schnauzer rescue dog. He's a great dog! The part in red is my favorite part of the email. Gotta love siblings. :))

Susie ends it with:
"No, I did not show him to Mary and Tom."

I know. I know. I married into the meanest family ever. What a tragedy. This poor homeless puppy is all alone tonight.

Elmo looks like such a good boy! I am sure with some love and attention he would be a good pet. I am so glad you are helping with the crusade to find him a happy, loving home.
If we didn't already have 3 dogs I would consider rescuing him. There is nothing like the company that our dogs provide. Their love is worth any trouble and expense. Hope you are successful!!!

You have made out to look like a really terrible person. OK, I will show him to Carla today and t hen maybe Tom and Mary. I just don't want any pets as I am too busy being retired.
