I've got to say, I've been really disappointed by the lack of reaction from my elected officials. In the past, when I've written to them, I've always gotten back at least a boiler plate "thanks for writing" email. This time, zip.

Me too

My last representative always sent me updates on animal related issues. My current one doesn't, and I am more than disappointed in him.

Internet is powerful to spread the word. If it was not for internet, i probably would have supported pet stores by buying supplies from them. I'm so glad that is all in past and I am not too crazy to shop at Petsmart but they do support the shelters. I just wish they don't sell live animals like fish, birds, hamsters, cavies, etc.
Poppy & his buddy are so adorable! I wouldn't be here if it was not for my bff. I actually did not care about Yorkie because I am a Doberman person. After my Dobegirl died, i decided to wait until all of my grrls go to heaven to have a Doberman again. It costs a lot money to have a big dog. I met Blue when he was around 6 weeks old, I think. I visited him and his brothers & they were too adorable but I was not even interested to think of having one. More often I saw them more enjoyable it is just to be with them. When my bff brought the boys to my shop, i loved how Blue looked like. his face is just too adorable. the next day, she asked me if i wanted Blue. I told her I was going to have to think about it but it didn't take too long for me to accept her gift. lol I had just added a new unwanted pup to the family and intended not to have more dogs but I'm so GLAD i opened the door for Blue. Beau and Blue are just so ADORABLE! At first Pearl was not too thrilled with Blue & now she accepts him.

It is so important that everyone gets along and they do.

Sounds good to stop using the word, "farm" for pupyy mill.

At least they're required to excercise them everyday, but that doesn't mean the rest of the time they're not caged.
Please note that I'm not against this bill, just trying to understand.

I feel the same way! I dont really understand myself!
