Much to our dismay, our dog gave birth to 11 puppies. Six weeks later, we put an ad in the local paper: "FREE TO GOOD HOME - 11 Adorable Puppies" Response was meager, and at the end of two weeks we still had seven of the puppies left. We decided to change our tactics. The next ad read: "FREE TO GOOD HOME - 1 Very Ugly and 6 Very Pretty Puppies" As soon as the paper came out, the phone calls started coming in. All from people who wanted to know if we still had the "ugly" one. By the end of the next day, we had given the "ugly" puppy away seven times.
