Thank you for sharing that story! That is very sad! He looks very happy!

Oscar's Mom · 05-01-2006, 06:56 PM

Brave little Pepper...hope he has many more happy birthdays!!! Hopefully anyone reading this will think twice before buying from a puppymill pet store! There are hardly ever happy ending that come from those dealings.

Auntie V, thank you for putting my story up...momma never knows quite what to say anymore. We were sooooo happy when that terrible pet store was closed down! Momma says you help her so much just cuz she can talk to you and tell you when I am having a bad day. All I know is you send me kisses and huggy's AND you have 2 of the prettiest girls I know! I love you Auntie V! Love Sir Pepper Da Judge

For my part V...and all of you wonderful people, thank you. If Pepper's story saves just one puppy from having to live like this then it is worthwhile. I have finally found a Vet who is willing to treat him for the "small" stuff, like shots, ear aches and so on. She cares about my little man. Pepper's days are hard for the most part...but you would never know it watching him! His spirit is HUGE and he keeps trying even though all four legs are going different directions. It may take him a little extra time to get where he is going but he DOES get there. I have learned so much from my little love about not ever giving up! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for caring about my little guy!

And thank you for hanging in there with little Pepper and not giving up on him! You are doing an awesome thing!

He is a lucky little guy to have someone that loves him as much as you do. I know that you consider yourself the lucky one.

He is adorable. I hope you have many more birthdays together.

She-ra's Mama · 05-01-2006, 07:55 PM

Oh that poor baby!

Tophersmom · 05-01-2006, 08:21 PM

Thanks for sharing this story with us.

Hopefully it will discourage one person from buying from a pet store.

Kathy, bless you for fighting the good fight and for giving this little guy of yours a happy life. He sure is a doll. I wish you both all the best. He certainly has touched my heart.

livingdustmops · 05-01-2006, 08:36 PM

What an emotional thread - from sheer anger about the petstore/breeder to complete love that Kathy feels for her little one. Kathy you are an angel on earth and I know you feel so very special for being picked to show all the love in the world to Pepper. Not everyone is given this opportunity nor could they handle all the emotions you must feel but I believe God has given you your wings on earth. Of course Auntie Vee is another special person who has a hugh heart so Pepper I know you are surrounded in love.

Chelsey · 05-01-2006, 10:38 PM

Bless his little heart, what a darling he is!!

Thank you for sharing your story, i hope MANY many people that are looking for a puppy will read this story and think twice!

Kathy, keep up the good fight. You and Pepper are true WINNERS!

friesianlady · 05-02-2006, 03:23 AM

What a sad and happy thread this is. Sad that Pepper has to go through those horrible episodes and Happy that Kathy has the heart to care for Pepper. I will tell you that I do go into these Pet Stores in the Malls. I make it a point of telling people who are considering purchasing a puppy there, that they come from Mills and most if not all have some kind of health issue. people do listen when you tell them to ask about Where this little pup came from and who the breeders are etc... Kathy and Pepper you

are the best..

GOOD FOR YOU !

That's the reason for this thread (and to share brave little Pepper) ...The only way people will learn to stay AWAY from the Pet Stores is by spreading the word.

In the years knowing Pepper and his family I really do admire the strength they have....many people would have given up on him a long time ago

When I look at my girls - I try to envision them stumbling... or not being able to walk

and it just BREAKS MY HEART for him. His mom has been his angel and HE is a Hero....

and to be a totally HANDSOME little lover along with being brave is just an IRRESTIBLE mix....

Sir Pepper - The Girls send you MORE AND MORE Smoochies. We have your picture in our living room and are so proud to know you and your mom.

rrosenberry · 05-02-2006, 04:34 AM

Ah, how sweet is he?! But that is the awful truth of what happens to unsuspecting buyers, who fall in love with an adorable face in a pet store, you have no idea WHERE and WHO they came from,, ( WE know, now) but most don't, That is why YOU must tell everyone you know,,about Puppy Mills,and stories just like this, most wanna Save the puppy and make it's life better (as we all do) But the endless vet bills, the heartache, the supply and demand will continue with the Millers, You buy a dog from a pet store, they'll have another litter to compensate... It will never end.....

Tell everyone you know, anyone who has loved an animal... tell them Pepper's story, print this out, email it to your addressbook,,, Awareness is key,and a sure way WE can make a difference.

yorkiepip · 05-02-2006, 04:49 AM

Bless Pepper's little heart!

TatumsMom · 05-02-2006, 05:15 AM

I've followed Pepper's story for some time now and I just want to say he is such a trooper! And his family are truly angels for giving him the wonderful life he's had so far. If any story has driven home the pet shop/puppy mill horror for me, it's Pepper's. He's always in my thoughts and prayers as is his family. Thanks for sharing!

Mueyinter · 05-02-2006, 07:53 AM

Thanks for posting this Villette! All we can hope to do is educate more and more people about petshops & puppy mills. And hopw someday there will be an end to this. God bless your friend Kathy & little Pepper.
