There is a "morkie" and a "yorktese" on my local Craigslist right now. What are these, maltese x yorkie crosses? I'm not sure which name is worse.

Also some "shar-pit" puppies, and for some reason a bunch of people with "wolf hybrids" that are clearly just shepherd/husky/malamute mixes. One is a "timber wolf/husky" mix that is pretty obviously a pit/husky mix. There is nothing remotely wolfy about any of them other than that they are dogs.

Also someone wants to get rid of this dog. Why.


Is that Gary? :ohdear: Seriously, where is that? I would totally go get him

The ads for birds are so often heartbreaking. There was a cockatiel in a tiny dirty cage that "HAS TO GO TONIGHT!!!!" Ads worded like that always make me wonder if they just kill it or let it outside if no one takes it. :smith:

I found an ad for 2 macaws for $2000. The photo had them in an empty cage with 3 perches, all the same diameter, that might be ok for one bird. The cage was in what looked like an unfinished garage. The bottom of the cage was completely coated in poop :(

I told my bird-disliking man about it and showed him the picture, and even his stoney heart grew sad. If we had a house I might've brought the birds home. I hope someone nice takes them home :( Big parrots in lovely cages break my heart.

While you're at it, stop by Huntsville and pick up Wall-E here from Animal Services:



Seriously, is there someone around here breeding little dogs with wonky ears?

Edit: In between this post and my last one, yet another person posted about wanting a wolf hybrid. "Must be good with dogs and cats" and also they don't want to spend more than $50. If I didn't think that would just lead to bad things, I'd start claiming that Quaffle was a wolf/lab mix or something just to hear the reactions from people.

There was a lot about PITBULLS. There are PITBULLS everywhere just ravening for her puppies; also pitbuls. "my puppies are not going to end up being a snack for their pitbuls. She called me and screamed that it was "discrimination", call it whatever you want, but they are MY puppies and I can do whatever I please with them. I can pick and choose who gets the puppies. I am free to do what I wish, I only sell them to upscale and middle class homes, none of which contain pitbulls. I am selling one to a wonderful woman who owns an English Bulldog, but she has him well-trained and he is a gentle giant"

This ad just stood out among the rest. The uncommon dog breed and the refusal to show pictures is kind of suspicious. Oh, and the fact that they only posted it today and they NEED this dog gone by tomorrow.

Edit: just watched the dogs 101 thing on this breed and they claim that this breed is thought to only have about 1000 dogs in the world. Why would one be in the middle of southern VA in this situation? I am calling BS on this ad at this point! (at least, I am hoping it is!)

Maybe it's just a big Chinese Crested? Or a dog with mange. CL is pretty dumb when it comes to getting breeds right, so that wouldn't surprise me.

e: Plus people like saying their dog is a OMG SO RARE breed so that too.

Or possibly a Xoloitzcuintle? But those aren't super common either.

EDIT: actually there is a Xolo breeder in VA so its more likely than I initially thought.

I always wonder what people think being a vet actually consists of. Because I can remember being 15 and thinking :downs: I WANNA BE A VET BECAUSE I LOVE ANIMALS and then remembering dissection makes me queasy.
