SIGH,
Guess I made not much of an impression with subtlety, as here is the
message I just received:
> hello again!!!
> thank you so much for writing back to me! Just remember thaat you
> have to write back to me when you get those puppies in!!! emailaddy deleted.
> if u forgot!! ok.. talk to u soon!!
> -"little girl name deleted"
And this is the note I'm writing back:
Dear "Little girl name deleted",
> A puppy is a lifetime commitment and you don't buy one as if it is the
> latest game boy advance game. I'm not meaning to be unkind, but you
> will have to be patient and your parents will need to talk to me if you
> are wanting one of mine. Also, there will be a wait for sure. I check
> the references of all who want puppies from me, including a next door
> neighbor and a vet. I think that you will find that no matter where you
> go, unless you are incredibly lucky there are waiting times up to a year
> for a Cavalier puppy. So, please put on your "patience hat" and have
> your parents email me directly.
>
>
> I want to be as kind as possible while helping you out here, so let me
> tell you that your very enthusiastic and bubbly email also came across
> as bit less patient than it could have been. One has to be patient with
> a new puppy as well as waiting for one. It is a good skill to develop
> as ninety percent of training is patience. (And the rest is love and
> kindness). One thing of which good breeders are terribly afraid is that

> Thanks, again, for writing to me.

> Regards,
