That's ok - still a good message.... I wish they would give information on WHERE those cute puppies come from.... but any media coverage is a good thing.

That's ok

We just want to see these puppymills shut down, so we have wishful thinking that they're actually going to talk about it on national television...We just jumped the gun a little bit, like you said.

They did give good advice, though, and talked about the reality of having a puppy - the messes, lack of sleep, etc. And at least they suggested going to a shelter for your pet.

Yes, they did, did you see the greenies she had.. she said to give them Bigger ones so they don't choke, I think Im done with those, after all the other problems they seem to create.

i think they didn't cover puppymills 'cause that topic remains controversial. but the fact that many who purchase a puppy for christmas are those who are not ready, unprepared, and and otherwise ignorant, not understanding the ramifications of a long term emotional, time, and financial commitment of puppy ownership, that is something that's not up for debate. puppies take a lot of time, money, and patience. if you don't have it, or are unwilling to alter your lifestyle to accomodate it, then you're not ready to own a puppy.
