Oh, you are right! Same baby beds, tricked out fake cozy rooms these poor dogs probably have only seen once when all the rented or borrowed pieces were brought in for the pix and then the babies go back to their stacks of cages in some shed, hopefully with a heater in it in winter to keep the smaller dogs from dying of exposure.

Wonder how big these dogs really are when they arrive at a purchaser's home. Lots of people say these "microdogs" they purchase online really weigh in at adulthood at regular breed weight or "tiny" weight but not "micro" weight, as the pictures are taken at such very young ages and 'shopped to enhance heads and eyes, bulge the head even more than the hydro has done, shrink the bodies, and overall shrink the size of the dog. That is cold comfort though, as even a "tiny" is way too small. But I like to think that the "micro's" are largely faked and hope that is true.

Even if the "micro's" are fakes and the dogs turn out to be just "tinies", I'll bet most of that site's buyers live to regret they were so taken in and wonder how many of those dogs in those pictures ever live a rich, full, healthy, normal dog's life.
