I will never buy from a store that sells dogs. |
This reminds me of a former place in our shopping mall, Tyson's Corner -- which is now the home of some of the ritziest stores. We would go there as kids and look at all the puppies. There were so many and we thought it was great. Now I know how sad it is.
