On one side of the coin when looking for that new pup to join your home you search out reputable/responsible breeders. On the other side of the coin, we must be responsible pet owners. |
I myself stand guilty as one who used my heart vs my brain when getting my first Yorkie and now have the rest of Bella's future to pay for "my" mistake, too.
If only people could just disconnect those heartstrings from making such a decision. Learn from countless others misinformed decisions...don't repeat them. Perhaps if the OP can tune out...Go, get that puppy...Follow your heart...etc, she will be saved from making a poor decision in selecting an addition to her already canine family.
