Aren’t these puppies so cute in these photos? I will agree yes they are. But, before you say you want to buy one let me tell you something. I took these two photos of these cute puppies in a pet store. If you have never been told to not buy from a pet store I will tell you now. Please, do not buy from a pet store. Wanna know why? I will gladly tell you. If you do not already know the puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills.
Puppy mills are places where irresponsible people keep dogs in crowded dirty conditions where the poor female dogs just give birth over and over again. These dogs live a horrible life with not a lot of movement and little to no socialization. When the female dog cant breed anymore the puppy mill owners will leave her to die or just kill her. Puppy mill owners have no care for the life of the dogs they have. All they care about is getting the puppies that earn them money.
Also, let me share something. These puppies come from dirty unclean living areas. The parents do not go to the vet which means these dogs pass down diseases over and over again. You hear stories about people buying a puppy from a pet store and they end up spending thousands of dollars on a sick dog who may recover, who will have to live with the illness its whole life or the puppy dies.
One other thing is. If you buy from a pet store you are supporting puppy mills. Oh, one puppy wont make a difference in business. Let me tell you. One puppy sold tells the puppy mill owner that he is being successful and those poor dogs continue to live in that condition. Lets not support puppy mills. Instead we need to help stop them. Next time you go into a pet store just look and tell yourself that you are helping dogs by not buying a puppy from there. That is what I tell myself when I go into one. We all need to help the dogs and puppies who live sad unhealthy lives. Together we will bring an end to puppy mills and stop the pain these dogs live in.
Anyways, moving on to something exciting. It is almost Friday! Woohoo! The weekend is almost here. Be excited. We all love weekends. Ha, Callie is being a little crazy kitten running around. Jumping on to the bed and grabbing my feet and then jumping off. Callie loves to cause trouble but that is a kitten for you. Well, I am going to listen to some good music and relax. Chillax. Peace.
