Hey you guys,
I know I don't type on here much but I'm vacationing in Illinois. My sister wanted her own yorkie so we looked in the paper to find someone selling them for $500. We went there to check it out and they were only 5 weeks old. I felt so bad for them because they were greesy and stinky. I almost wanted to buy all of them just so that I can wash them and make sure they go to proper homes. I wouldn't even let my nephew touch the puppies. The puppies are not drinking on their own and she gives them watered down puppy food. but she is selling them anyways. I feel so bad for leaving them behind but does buying all of them condone this behavior? I feel like if I don't buy them someone else sure will and she obviously doesn't care about what homes they go to. I saw the mother, I could tell they cut her hair. She didn't give her puppies shots and worm them.
I guess the question is should I buy them and rescue them? I'd need to find them all new homes and I know no one loves yorkies more than the people on this website. I might be able to post pics later. I just can't stop thinking about that puppy's brothers when I look at her. They were all in a box lined with newspaper pooping all over themselves. I am from California so I could send a couple of them I guess, but only after they are 8 weeks old. I'd rather get them to Illinois people. My sister is from her but she's due with a baby any time soon. This is driving me crazy, what should I do?
