I don't hold it against the OP either, she did what she thought was right and who are we to say? It's not like she was looking to buy a pet store puppy, she just happened into the situation and got emotionally involved and felt the need to get this pup out of there. I guess I can understand. And finally, I think it's good that Rachel feels so strongly and I don't think she's a hypocrite either. We can all make mistakes and learn from them. It sounds like she's learned from her situation and would not repeat it. However, maybe she could remember how she felt in that situation and she posted on here and got strong harsh comments and maybe she could put herself in the OP's shoes just a little bit. |
I, too, don't know if I could've walked away knowing others were going to try to buy the pup for the sole purpose of breeding and making money. I feel she rescued this poor dog from an unspeakable kind of life...used for breeding and not feel the love Ericka will give him.
Ericka, I hope you will post pictures of your new little guy and tell us what you have named him. Please don't stay away and not let us know how he is doing.
