Since I just moved to Arizona I have been going shopping and it's like a ritual thing with me that every time I go into a petstore I have to find a puppy play with it and name it will 2 days ago I went to the mall and there were two yorkies the first was a female and the second was a male they both were the same price 2500.00 but the female was sold! So I had to play with the male every time I play with the dog I ask to see the papers and so I asked the lady for them and she went back and checked and told me that they would have to order them

then she left. This little boy was not little his paws were huge and he seemed like he had kennel cough and the little female had to have something wrong with her because she was like 1/3 the size of him and I mean she was SMALL! I decided to name him rascal because he loved to play! When I left the store I was about in tears

because the poor animals just looked so sad and depressed so my mom was like there are alot of you on yorkietalk so you should start something to stop puppymills and pet stores! Well I thought about it and didn't know what to do and didn't know if there was anything I could do!! Well last night I went to another mall and went into their petstore and played with a little girl who was 3500.00 and named her Kaya so we played and I asked to see her papers and to my surprise they had them so I looked through them and found out that she had a pinched trechua and something else wrong with her throat and on top of that she looked nothing like a fullbred yorkie her legs were as thin as a toothpick and her body was wayyy to small so I wondered if she was a chorkie! I don't mean for the post to be so long but I just can't stand it that if people weren't so ignorant those puppymills and petstores would be shut down! I was wondering if there is anything I or anyone else can do to stop this way that these poor little defenseless animals are being treated! I mean anyone who I talk to I tell them about puppymills and petstores and that if they want to buy a dog buy from a breeder but I want to do more to better the lives of the animals and more to come! Any info would be greatly appreciated! Because

what to do!
Thanks,
