| I'm so irrated!! I work for a mortgage company here in Texas and right now in our office we have a pet store owner that my boss is going to help get a loan for a bigger pet shop location. Well that is all good if it was a reliable pet store owner but I've been to their pet store before I knew my boss would be helping them and I was appelled by what I saw. I'm 100% sure that they get their dogs from puppy mills. How can I stay calm and do my job when I'm going to be helping people that have no respect or care for the animals they are selling. I went to their pet store this past saturday to look again at their pets to see their condition and there was this little yorkie girl and I was disgusted by the way it looked. The cage was clean but its coat and apperance was not anything you would like your yorkie to look like and have. And then an employed came to deworm the dog and just grab it as if it was a rag and then threw her back in the cage. I know I can't interfere in the process as its not my business but I don't want to help these people get a bigger commercial property so they can house more dogs from puppy mills. I can't go against my personal believes.

| oh my I am so sorry! I dont know what I would do. I am sure that your boss is all about the $$$ right now and not the animals. Maybe call the humane society and complain about them?

| I believe the good always come out in every situation and just maybe somehow the loan will fall through. I'll pray that that happens. Is your boss an animal lover and aware of the dangers of puppy mills? Maybe he needs to be educated. |

| He's not really an animal lover. I did try telling him about how they keep their animal and how it's wrong and where they get them and all that but he wasn't to interested in listening to me.

| I'm sorry that you have been put in this situation. Sounds like your boss is all about $$$$$$$$$. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to swallow our beliefs to survive

| Well their is no one else that I can go to as he is the owner of the business. I'm being hopeful as it seems it is not set on paper yet that he will be helping them.

I would keep quiet for now and when all is said and done behind the scenes call the aspca and any other human folks to check them out. You have to be careful because you dont' want to lose your job.

It is a shame but I guess the old saying is true ... $$$ is the root of all evil. It certainly motivates people to do things whether it is right or not. Yes, please keep us up to date.
