Pets and significant others – I love both of mine! My life is richer and fuller with my cat and partner. They make the picture complete! And unless there’s a really big problem like allergies or an overseas move, can’t everyone just get along? Can’t there be some middle and common ground that works for all parties involved? I certainly hope never to find myself in this man’s situation!
Posted on Craigslist was an ad put up by a man, explaining how he’s found himself in a bit of a pickle regarding his dog and his girlfriend.
The guy from Roanoke, Virginia, USA, must be at his wit’s end because his post isn’t the regular kind of post you find on Craigslist. They’re usually upfront, dry and technical. “In search of” or “Looking For…” these are common terms found on the site, everyone looking to get rid of something or find something else — as they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. So, when someone posts something as hilarious and out of the blue like this, you better believe the Internet is going to catch on!
He posted a picture of his adorable beagle, Molly, and writes a few lines about the conundrum he’s found himself in. He mentions the problem his girlfriend has with the dog, and the potential solution to solve the problem. He goes on for a few sentences to describe the dog like where she’s from, how long he’s had her, what her personality is like, what she eats and so on and so forth. But wait. He’s not actually talking about the dog — oops.
Midway through the ad, the man’s intentions become obvious! He’s made his decision, and he’s sticking to it. His description is actually about his girlfriend but the prose he’s written sounds as it applies to the dog. He’s pretty funny, and it’s very entertaining. Many comments have come pouring in since this was posted. Lots of people wondering who could ask their partner to give up their fur baby, others commenting on how “re-homed” is a really nice way to say “dumped!”
It makes me want to know what did, in fact, happen after this post was released! Are they still together? Does he still have Molly? Did the girlfriend ever get “re-homed?!”

I can’t help but laugh at what I just read. What are your thoughts on an ad like this one?
