I visited the place a few months back... OMG.. TERRIBLE.. im SOOOOO glad you guys told me what to watch out for.

Since then ive done ALOT of research and im alot more knowledgable about the issue now.

I reported this "breeder" and her dogs have been taken away from her. I dont even want to get into the state the dogs were in. Just goes to show you cant tell a whole lot by a phone conversation. My friend that seen the dogs, well, she only seen the FRONT yard. Where 4 dogs were being kept in the fenced in part. And, well, i was persistent on seeing hwere the pups were being kept, so she brought me out back......... HOLY CRAP. there were SO many more dogs then she originally led on. And she was a mill.. Leaving it at that.

And i also started to volunteer at my local animal shelter! ..I dont have another dog. Chloe has a tumor on her belly. It is cancer. im just waiting it out, waiting for my girl to tell me when the time is right. She is still getting around pretty good. Doesnt eat a whole lot, so i assume we do not have much time left. If she ever shows me a sign that she is unhappy and suffering. Well, that will be the day. Right now we are just making the VERY best of what time we have left. 5 years with this girl (it will be six next month) has went by too fast.

I have a yorkie poodle mix and he is wonderful. He is alittle on the hyper side but I love him all the same.

He has a great mix of both breeds. If I was to get another dog in the future I wouldnt hesitate to get another mix.
Good luck with your decison!

i am so happy that you reported her!

i am really really glad that you insisted on seeing the puppies and their living conditions. so many people don't do that, and that is how puppy mills continue to operate!

happy to hear that you are volunteering at the animal shelter. maybe you will find your perfect puppy/dog there.

i am sorry to hear that your chloe has cancer.

i hope she lives pain free for a long time!

You have had a rough few months since last posting! Congrats for being a responsbile dog owner and really investigating where you next one was going to come from. Many do not have the conviction to follow through like you did and get the place closed. You should be proud of the dogs' lives you saved. And now volunteering at a shelter! More kudos to you. I hope your Chloe does not suffer too much and you have a bit more quality time with her. It is hard to see them go but you have given her a good life and will always have her in your heart and memories. Hope you do really find the "perfect puppy" when the time is right! Take care!

Thank you.. Im not sure how i am going to cope with loosing another dog so soon, after the accident.. Im trying my hardest to focus on the NOW instead of the future.

17 years is a good life for a dog. But its still not long enough, especially since ive only had 5 with her.

It's amazing the things we learn as we go along in life, isn't it?

I'm sorry you have to go through so much and that your Chloe isn't well. i wish you all the best.
