My friend Ritchie came up to me yesterday saying that his Fiance was wanting to get a yorkie and was wondering where I got mine. He said they went to a couple of pet shops but there was none in my area. I told him the bad news on pet shops and yada yada... But this has gotten me thinking....

Before coming to this site I had never know the bad side of pet shops. My family has always bought animals from pet shops and never even had the thought of where these animals come from. Thinking about that now makes me wonder why we never put the two together.

There are so many people out there that are probly as ablivious as I was when it comes to purchasing animals. It's really sad to think that there are people out there buying from pet stores right now and the pet stores calling a pupy mill to have them send over another dog to replace the one that was just sold... Why is this not widly known, or is it and I was just a little slow in learning?

I love that I have come to this site. I love that now I can at least help my friends and family when it comes to purchasing a dog. So they know what to ask and know the difference between a good breeder and a backyard breeder.

OK enough yammering....... I'm just sitting here at work bored
