Okay, I need to come clean, for I feel terribly guilty. I purchased my sweet Pippita at a pet store. I know how awful it is, and that it promotes more nefarious breeding, but by the time I got to her, she was 4 months old and reduced from over 2k to 500$. She's absolutely beautiful, smart, well-trained, well-behaved, and potty trained. My vet said she was in perfect health. The thing about her is she's 12.2 lbs and has a 'cotton-coat', which retains her puppy-like coloring (rather than the blue/blonde look). She looks just like a teddy bear, hence the nickname Osita
I just feel so-ooo guilty for contributing to puppy mills
and I just want my sweet girl's life to be healthy.
PS - Please try not to judge me. I understand what I did is reprehensible, but I just couldn't put her back in the crib, where she was all alone. It wasn't till I got home and researched that I discovered I was helping promote the vicious cycle of backyard breeding.
