I am so upset that she left because she felt unwelcomed. I know I was very gentle in telling her that she probably will not be able to find her puppies family, and I felt bad about that (her not being able to find the family). I did see some people throwing harsh words though, not necessarily at her, but about the puppymills. And when you just got your dog from a "puppymill" it can feel like the harsh remarks and responses are about YOU and your dog. If the orginal poster is still reading, please... we do not think any dog is better than any other because of papers or whatever... We all love our babies and a lot of members here do not have papers for their dogs. I think if you stay you will find that there are really nice members here--they probably just didnt want to jump in on the "ugly scene." I am a really nice person and I almost never post on these kinds of threads, so please know that you have not met everyone yet! There are very nice people here, I swear!
