Faaaaaail owner is fail
Dec. 15th, 2010 10:21 amYesterday, I called Doggy Owner, verified that he owns the dog, and attempted to make plans to meet him and return the dog. On the phone he didn't even really sound eager, or all that interested in getting the dog back, but IDK. Maybe he'd just woken up or something. No matter, it's his dog and I'm interested in giving Doggy back. The problem? The guy doesn't have a car. Okay, I can deal with that. It just means I have to meet him somewhere within walking distance of where he lives. No problem. I asked him to e-mail me with a public place that was convenient for him, and we'd meet there before work (around 7:30AM).
By midnight last night, I had still not received an email. I emailed him twice asking him to contact me, and once telling him that I was going to bed and to contact me. As of this moment, I still have not heard a peep. No call, no email. I've just deleted the Craigslist ad because I don't want other people seeing it and getting hope for their lost dog (it's sad how many chihuahuas went missing from their homes this month). But he still has two email addresses and my phone number. Son of a %$#&*.
At this point, I almost think he doesn't want the dog back. And if that's the case, why contact me at all? I am incredibly close to emailing him and saying that he can either contact me by tonight, or I'm keeping the dog. The only thing I am asking is that it be before work, and he said that was fine. I don't want to be an ass, since I know how much most people love their pets. But I am really questioning if this guy cares. The dog is sweet, but clearly not well socialized or at all trained, and pretty quick to growl if you do something he doesn't like. No biting, but I don't put up with aggression at all, and IDC how teeny they are. (For example, he was burrowed in my sweater last night, which I needed, and growled when I took it away from him. Should have seen his face when I flicked his nose. Shock.)
TL;DR, I am annoyed that this guy doesn't seem to give a damn about his dog. Am I over-reacting? It's only been a day, yeah, but if he couldn't meet me for whatever reason why didn't he call/text/email?
