There was the sadest looking Chinese Crested (hairless) puppy in the window. I was shocked to see a Crested in there in the first place. But this poor puppy looked so pitiful! His skin was so dry and flaky (you really have to keep their skin hydrated) and the white hair on top of his head and ears were stained yellow from being kept in a kennel and I guess laying in his own urine. He looked so discusting. And he was cold and shivering (they get cold so easily since they are hairless). Poor puppy..I can't imagine anyone buying him, but I'm sure some uneducated person will. I hate stores that sell puppies |
I kno, so do I. That reminds me of today. I had the girls with me and this girl asked me if i bought them or got them from a breeder....I said "Yes I bought them from a breeder" and then i said not to buy from petstores that the puppies are usually sick and come from puppymills. She said "Mine isn't sick". She said she got her from a petstore downtown. I was like "Well you're lucky"
