Review content:
November and December 2009 I was looking at buying a female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from the Georgetown, Texas Petland store.I came in about three times to look at the females available. I had my eye on one tri-colored female which had a round blush mark on her face. In fact, they may still have on file a bid I put in for her for $1,100 in December 2009. It was rejected because the puppy was still on sale for $1,600. In January 2010 my husband proposed to me. We decided that it was not a good time to buy a puppy due to planning a wedding. After getting married in June 2010 I moved to Austin. I lived 45 minutes away from the Georgetown store. I returned for the first time since December 2009 in January of 2011. We were living in a house and were wanting to start looking at puppies again. This time I went by myself. We then decided that we were going to build a house. So we moved into an apartment while we made plans for our new home. We only have 7 months left on our apartment lease. We don't want to pay a pet deposit, but we will if we find the right Cavalier. Well, on March 12, 2011 we looked at a tri-color Cavalier and fell in love. My husband had the cash in his pocket to buy the puppy. We discussed the price and and the plan for the puppy with a sale's representative. Once again, we were willing to buy what seemed to be the perfect puppy, but we didn't. We didn't because the very next day I was heading out of state to visit my mom. She was undergoing a surgery due to breast cancer. My sister flew in from Berlin, Germany for the operation. We didn't think it was wise to purchase a puppy at that point because I would be in the hospital all day long for a week and my husband would be at work from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. We decided to come back after I returned from out of state and see if the price had decreased on the puppy that we were interested in. Well, that's when things got interesting. I came in to look at the Cavalier, but the puppy had been sold. Instead, I decided to look at a male Blenheim Cavalier. I was watching a friend's daughter at the time and brought her in the store with me. I played with the puppy for about five minutes in the pin. Please understand, I don't make large purchases. My husband does, but he sends me to check it out first. Two weeks ago, the day before my trip out of state, he told me to go look at a Lexus. We've been looking at those for over a year now. I looked at it and liked it. Since I liked it, he checked it out and he bought it for me. I looked at an IPad for over a year. I looked at the IPad 2, liked it, and he bought one for me. You see, we are business owners. We have business minds. We don't rush expensive decisions. So no, I didn't not plan to buy this puppy today, but that certainly does not mean that my husband wouldn't have bought him tomorrow when he was off from work. I asked the lady if we could see one more puppy and she said, ""No, we only allow one puppy to be seen each visit."" All I could say was, ""Oh, ok."" She said,""But if you want to see other puppies, you can see the two schnauzers that are out running around right now."" (These puppies were not in pins, but just running around loose in the store.)
