Thanks that means a lot to me. I am uncharacteristically rigid when my fundamental principals are challenged and this was one of those times.
Having someone else see this from my well intentioned perspective has helped and I will stay but a break is warranted. I can't save the world and feel this effort failed which is exhausting.
For the record, my first puppy was a puppy mill puppy and I wish someone would have educated me before that experience. I certainly wouldn't have allowed my ego to ignore advice. I have lost sleep for years thinking of that puppy and its mother. It would be nice to think we'd all want to spare others, animal and human, from that fate.
