You can have a baby T if you want. There's all kinds of options!

For some reason, I have totally missed this thread but have read the last 2 pages, sounds like we are going to make t-shirts to raise awareness??? I have to do some errands but when I get back I will read the whole thread. I would like to say though that I will lend my support to stop the mills and will gladly buy and wear a t-shirt

DiOrGiRLy · 07-14-2005, 09:28 AM

Please keep us posted on when these T's are available. We'd love to help

Shelley · 07-14-2005, 10:45 AM

I would definitely buy a t-shirt for myself (Mia doesn't like wearing clothes, she freaks out). Please let me know what I have to do to buy one once they're available!!

You guys are great!!

Isn't it Great ? This all started with an innocent question about a site on the net - turned into Yorkietalk's Kelly & Recon's Excellent Adventure and now T-shirts ! Sometimes the littlest things can turn into big things and in this case - great things.

I'm so happy to be part of this and want to say thanks to ALL of you who are getting involved - this is really awesome !

Way to go Kelly

Bruce's_Mom · 07-14-2005, 11:37 AM

Bruce has to have one of these! For the last couple months he has been very active in trying to get Absolutely Puppies, the little shop of horrors he came from shut down. He just loves it when he and I go out to the store and explain to people everything he has been through due to their deception. This would be the perfect outfit to do it in.

*FYI I did not intend to buy my little baby from a pet shop. We were very deceived by this place. I had been looking for a yorkie and was refferred by a friend to a "breeder" who really talked the talk so I trusted her, she told me that I could go and see her puppies there because it was just a place where her and a couple of her breeder friends let the dogs get together and play so people could see their tempermants. We got there and it was like a house with play space, it was clean, they were not penned up or cramped. The "parents" were there for inspection, etc. I was naive and stupid and there is no excuse but I trusted them...BIG MISTAKE!!! It was not until Bruce started having problems that I launched my investigation and found out through AKC papers the dogs I saw as his parents were not. In addition to that this woman could have not even really been the breeder...I had always found it curious that they gave me his pet license instead of me going to animal control and filing it myself...Well the dogs state of origin had to be on the initial application and it saif OREGON!!! THIS BREEDER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FROM SEATTLE. Okay well sorry for the tangent, but at any rate we both want shirts!!!

vainchick5 · 07-14-2005, 11:45 AM

Hey Allison, as long as Bruce is healthy now that's what counts. This is how we all learn our lessons is through those kinds of experiences. At least now you're doing something about it. Good for you! We should all wear the shirts and have our dogs wear the shirts for one of our huge conventions!!!

It's not your fault! You were deceived - it was not intentional. I'm glad Bruce has you to take care of him - poor munchkin.

I love the ides of mommy (or daddy) and me, matching shirts. That is a GREAT way to get the word out!

Girl you are really talented!! The ideas just keep coming, and each one is as good as the last one!

sunshine22 · 07-14-2005, 12:29 PM

*blush* well thank you. That's so very sweet of you to say.

This is gonna be a great way for ALL of us to show our support while spreading the word.

Just think...we'll all have matching shirts. The trend will catch on im sure. You can refer people here to get their own shirts too!

I think we should do a poll as to which design should be used. I kinda favor the last one I did but its a majority vote..
