I am not at all surprised that the puppies had fleas. Several months before I got Lily, she told a good friend of mine on here that her trailer was infested with fleas. I checked Lily and didn't see any fleas at all, which amazed me.
How were the puppies as far as potty training? I've seen posts where she mentioned that she used potty pads, but I did not see any while I was there. As I said in my earlier post, I saw the puppies just going on the carpeting. I do not believe that she used pads or even bothered to take them out.
Another thing that honestly made my heart hurt was that when my husband and I came inside, none of her dogs barked or made a sound...they didn't act excited or anything. There was no reaction whatsoever from them. It was like they were all depressed or something. When someone comes in our door, my dogs are all happy and excited, and I think that's the reaction of most dogs. But not hers. I don't know where Autumn was at first, but Willow went to get her and when I reached over to pet her, she kinda came toward me like she wanted me to hold her. I was already holding Lily, but I took Autumn anyway and I gave her some snuggles and talked to her. She seemed so sad to me, and I knew that if she were cleaned up, she would be so beautiful.
One other thing that still angers me to this day. Before I picked Lily up, Willow sent me pics of her. She had said that I could come and see her anytime, but that I would have to wash my hands before holding her. Of course, I understood that perfectly and had no problem with it. BUT, then she sent me pictures of her husband holding my sweet little baby with filthy hands and dirt under his nails. But yet, she said that I would have to wash MY hands??? And then, to find out she didn't even have any running water.....
