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.
