I was talking to the vet today about little Marcus because she takes care of the puppies where I bought him. I had planned on getting our newest yorkie from a breeder and just happened to be in the petstore to buy food for our oldest. When I saw Marcus Aurelius sitting there, I couldn't say no. I had a long talk with the owner of the store so I felt certain that he wasn't from a puppymill. She assured me that they do not use puppymills, only local reputable breeders. I am VERY anti-puppymill!!! Well my vet told me that they do use puppymills and it is possible that he could be from one. I could never love him any less, I just feel sorta guilty to know now that I have contributed to the horrific cause of puppymills. My vet told me not to be upset and that I should see getting him as saving him. I know that if someone else had gotten him, they would never take care of him the way I do, but I just can't help to feel disgusted with myself. I am kind of embarrassed to post this, but I had to get it off my chest.
