| Puppies in the Pet store My daughter and I stopped at a small pet store today. We had drove past it before by never been in. It smelled musty from unkept fish aquariums. And there way in the back of the store, 2 to a cage, the puppies.2 Miniature Schnauzers, 2 Silky Terriers, and several others, I didn't stay long enough to look because it just made my stomach ache. But I know there was a least 6 cages with 2 pups each. The Silkies were $500 each. All of them were laying down, not one of them was awake or even the least bit alert. It still makes be sick to think they will be spending the night in that stinky store! |

| It makes me really sad too. I try to avoid looking at petstore puppies, but sometimes my children beg to go and see them.

| If they looked unhealthy call your ASPCA or Animal Control and turn the shop in!!!!! It's so sickening that Americans treat these innocent little babies like that. Please, take a stand for the little ones!!!!!!

| I will do some checking tomorrow on this pet store. The puppies looked groomed, the cages were clean. It was just the store itself seemed musty and unkept. The windows were wet from so much humidity in there. |

| Yeah, those fishtanks can get pretty stinky on their own too.

| The whole pet shop was full of aquariums. The puppies were way in the back corner. Like an after thought, "lets sell puppies to" but we are really a fish store. |
