As far a chewing goes, tabasco sauce works great along with crate training and providing lots of alternative chew toys (frozen Kongs filled with peanut butter for example).

Yeah, we've been keeping extra chew bones out, and it does seem to be helping

There are two similar emails on Snopes: one was originally true, and the other was false.

EXACT same email- EXACT same puppy pics- exactly.

I would either expect something like - sure, just deposit some money in x account and pick up your (non existant) dog

or

Sorry to let you know that you've been duped by an internet hoax. I've gotten 10,000 requests for dogs that never existed.

Her reply would seem to imply that it was real and the dogs now have good homes.


It would - but given that my friend posted the exact same email 2 days before last Friday indicates this email has been out there for a while-no clue why, it's odd.

Great: does that mean it is fraud? Or even spam?

Betty 08-25-2008 10:23 AM

Well then - WTF?

Betty 08-25-2008 10:24 AM

Well - at least the photos on snopes are of the same ones.

Not sure- seems like it could be given that it was sent out by parties unknown to multiple states-with various explanations and dates for when it was pertinant-

It's an odd one-

It does seem odd that people spread spam without any chance of monetary gain. What is the intent? Just to try to trick people? Clog up the internets?
