I know there are some TERRIBLE pet stores out there...I've seen some! There's one place that's a chain & so notorious for it's unhealthy pets, it's referred to as Debbie's Deathland. (Instead of Debbie's Petland) And there's no doubt in my mind that they purchase from puppie mills. I guess I was just trying to find a "readers digest version" response to say to people when they act aghast that Saffie is from a pet store. I'm probaly too sensitive but I feel like they think I'm stupid & didn't know any better & should have bought from a breeder. I'd like to have a nice, non-confrontational response that would not sound defensive (even tho it probaly is) or offending anyone (as they probaly meant no offense to me) Any suggestions?
