Using politically correct terms doesn't change what it is. Some people use the term "hobby breeder" well, once you take money for "your hobby" you're now out of the hobby and into a business (even if you didn't report your "earnings" to the IRS).
I think everyone gets so caught up in the terminology that the importance of the message is lost. |
Kendra,
The message wasn't lost on me. I guess, I was just hoping, this breeder, truly didn't know that Dogs Direct was an auction, or that she really didn't have a hand in doing her web-site.
Have you ever wanted to just believe that just once, someone might be innocent? That's why I offered to connect her with my friend that does web-site design.
I'm typing this as my beautiful, nearly 15 yea old Yorkie, Sydney is in the final stages of CRF. In a few more days, she will Cross the Bridge and take my heart with her.
Just once this week, I wanted to believe someone might be innocent.
