I have been to an livestock animal "flea market" and they actually ended up having more puppies for sale than livestock. This is held once per year. highly advertised. This does have animals as well as vendors with flea market stuff. But the number of puppies were astonishing! Being new to this (attending livestock autions) I was shocked you could purchase them so cheaply and pick from at least ten different breeds of dogs. My husband said this is always the way it is, alot of puppies for sale, quick money for the sellers. Made me very sad. This is a very huge sale and I am sure most of the puppies end up finding homes. But does make me think, "what happens to the ones that dont find homes". Hopefully they post them on the internet for loving families to find. Just an FYI, many of the livestock auctions end up having vendors that will bring their puppies in. I have seen it frequently.

Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather! I love it!
