[TeakasMom]

So this evening I was looking through Teakas records for something and I came across her pedigree papers. I have papers for her parents as well. I was looking at the breeders name and decided to google it.

Ok rewind about 3 years before I got teaka. I spoke with a lady I sort of knew that I was looking for a small dog. She said she knew someone who's Yorkies bred by accident. So I gave her my email address and she sent me a picture of Teaka. I thought "soo cute!". She looked like a pedigree Yorkie. So I put down a deposit and waited a couple of weeks until she was old enough to come home. I picked her up at my " friends" home and paid the rest of what I owed. I got her papers, she was microchipped, she was already vaccinated and was the cutest lil thing.

Now today after I googled the breeders name, a puppy mill site came up. His name is clearly on it and it lists at least a dozen different breed of dogs. I'm mortified. I think about it and I want to throw up. I have tears in my eyes. Could I have really contributed to puppy mills??? Next to his name are pet stores where he sells his puppies too. I even saw where he sold puppies to people and the lady I knew, her name was there.

Is Teaka from a puppy mill??? I saw the website and ran straight to her. I picked her up and just hugged her. Could I really have been that stupid? I was told this man had 2 unneutered/ unspayed Yorkies that had puppies. I mean I even have copies of her parents pedigrees. Is Teaka a mixed breed after all?? Now I have all of these thoughts in my head. I feel horrible and stupid. Are the papers I have fake???

I'm sick to my stomach. I'm glad Teaka is here with me instead of being in a cage.

I feel about 2 inches tall right now...
