I did receive the papers in the mail about 3 months after we got Roxi (from a pet store) and then I sent them in... You may just want to double check that that is the procedure where you got your baby... Congrats!!! you will learn a lot here!! XX

| So many of us have made the same mistake but have learned from YT. So next time we won't go to the pet store but seek out a breeder of which YT has several. I got Buddy's paper's from the pet store at time of purchase along with a free vet visit and 1yr health guarantee. I got lucky. He's been healthy. |

| I think it's a very narrow path, this Pet Store thing. For instance, on one hand I by all means see the point in not buying from them because it supports puppy mills. But then on the other hand let's say I was in a pet store picking up something for my baby and they just happened to have a Yorkie for sale. I will admit that even knowing what I know I am doubting that I could walk out of there without buying that baby because at least then I would know he/she was going to a good home and would be loved unconditionally. I don't know but for me I tend to lean toward looking at buying from a pet store as a form of rescue. Those babies didn't ask to be born and raised in puppy mills. Now that I have said all that WELCOME to YT and congrats on your new baby. Please don't feel outcasted because of others beliefs. There are tons of knowledgable here that are always willing to help.

| I agree with you, and I did put it that way myself once to which I got a response of "you shouldn't be shopping in pet stores at all because you are supporting puppy mills by giving them your money"... Seems like you can't win, but I'm on your side as far as that analogy goes!!

| I hope they do. So many people on here are saying they KNOW they shouldn't buy from a pet shop but probably would if they saw a yorkie Apparently they really don't understand.

| It's really not one individuals place to judge anothers beliefs, thoughts, ideas or whatever you care to title them. If we see an individual in bad need of help but we know that person was born in an underprivilaged home does that mean we should turn and walk away, leaving them to suffer? We couldn't do anything about this individual being underprivilaged but we could at least do our best to secure he/she a better future. Again, it's just my opinion and I'm not out to start any fights. But I also see no need in being "caddy" about someone elses views on a subject just because they differ from yours.

| Congrats! Before you know it, you'll forget all about the papers because you're head over heels in love. They just won't seem that important any more. |
