Good job reporting this! Thanks
I’d love to have this happen to me and someone telling me that I need to surrender my furbaby. I promise you that I will meet you but not to surrender my baby to you scumbags!!! I hope people don’t fall victim to this sickness.
Pet scammers can call me.
I will happily meet you in my parking lot.
Without my dog.
But what I do have are a few other items from my auto repair shop.
These items include but are not limited too a DeWalt Skill saw with a fresh blade, some zip ties, (more commonly known as Honda Bolts), I have two engine heads off a GM 305 that work very well for underwater ankors, I have a roll of black contractor bags, and the gators at the prairie are always hungry……
I have also recently completed watching the Netflix series “Dhalmer”.
I am well versed in the annuls of
“Violent acts of Diplomacy”
