correct. I did call when I first heard of this story, before I actually posted my feelings on this topic. I told the owner I heard she had yorkies sent from GB and I would like to come see them if she had any there... she hesitated and said "no" I continued and said, oh geez..I was excited because I am not that far, I would have rather see them in person than have one shipped in from her. She said, I never heard of her, I am the owner and I would know of that name if I had her puppies. So I apologized for my misunderstanding ... I never brought this up, until GB said she was good friends with her. My feelings were, this pet shop owner didn't have to deny not knowing her at all, she could of said something like " I know her, but I am sorry, I do not get my puppies from her" she was obviously covering up, I actually thought so when we hung up. My suspicions were correct after GB admitted she was friends.
For those of you who think I am a cruel person looking to ruin someone, I am not. I voiced my opinion, just how all of you had. When I feel I am right, I really stick to my guns if this is what I feel in my heart . I don't follow the "in" crowd, I follow my own feelings and what I believe in.
about a good 20 years ago, I was that person who honestly didn't know any better about pet shops. My boyfriend from way back then bought me a yorkie puppy from a pet shop. We were out and there it was. A pet shop with adorable puppies. I saw my baby and I had to have her..it was love at first sight..she was the custest thing ever. Well.. she became very sick..it was about two days or so after having her home. I rushed her to a vet, they told me she had pneumonia. The pup received meds, did not get any better in a few days, but worse..much worse. I took her to a different vet, and she had parvo. They did try to treat her with meds in IV's..I stayed with her, would not leave her side. Well she lost her battle and died in my arms. To this day I can still see this very sick little girl, I will never shake it, ever. I since learned about puppy mills and all the sickness in these poor dogs. I have told many people in my time not to buy in pet shops, it makes me cringe. This has been a sore subject with me for years and I can't find not one place in my heart to forgive any one who contributes to them. I was just as shocked as any one who learned of this story. I don't know her personally at all.. I have talked with her just a few times about a year ago about a puppy.. I called her because she was 'the breeder' with rave reviews and gorgeous dogs. The voice I talked with on the phone was "a nice person" but I have since learned, there are many BYB's and puppy mill people out there who also sound very nice on the phone.. it dawned on me that just because a person may be dishonest, doesn't mean they sound it or just have a good line that we can fall for.
I am 100% aware this is going around in circles. Each and every one of you have the right to your own opinions and values, but please, don't try to take mine away or accused me of other motives, this is simply not true. I have to admit, I did get my hair up a few times, I think we all have, but I always speak the truth in what I feel. Each and everyone of you can believe or not believe what is going on here, that is totally up to you. I will end this by saying sometimes we are our own worse enemy, we make choices whether right or wrong and along with this comes consequences to face. I will stick by what I have said to the end , for this is what I believe is the truth.
