LOL !

If you need a laugh... read on! (at least I thought it was funny)

This is a picture of a doggie sling that we sell on www.shesgotitall.net. It's for people who seriously spoil their little (I repeat, LITTLE) pets and treat them like a real baby.

Well on Friday I was checking our business e-mail on my lunch break... and this message was in the inbox:

"I am looking for a doggie sling like the one in your store. I have a Great Dane. What patterns do you have available? Thanks!"

I started to respond to the e-mail, not even noticing the "Great Dane" part. Then I stopped and said to my co-worker (Sherry) "do you think this is a joke..." (and then I read her the message). She was laughing so hard. In case any of you didn't know... Great Danes are HUGE!! I responded to the e-mail asking the customer how big their dog was. This was the response that I got within like 2 minutes of sending the reply:

"He's about 170 lbs. He's getting really old and it's hard to get around with him. Thanks!"

At that point I was crying tears cuz I was laughing so hard. Just imagine carrying one of these around in that sling:

I called my sisters and found out it wasn't any of them that sent the messages. I thought I knew for sure who it was by that time... someone that sits behind a computer and would totally do something like this as a joke and then respond to my message right away. So I decided to play along. Sherry came up with this reply:

"We have custom saddles available... maybe the dog could carry YOU around?"

I waited and waited for a reply... and it never came. A little bit later I asked who I thought the culprit was if he had anything to fess up to. He denied doing anything and I really don't think he did. So who sent us this e-mail? I hope it was meant as a joke (if not, oopsie for my reply!) but I am still wondering who the jokester is.

That was a good one. I still LOL about it when I think of someone trying to carry their 170-lb. Great Dane around in a sling.
