Visiting The Breeder
Posted on April 4, 2008
Today went to go visit the breeder. I wanted her to see how big Liame has gotten. I watched Oprahs show on puppy mills and cried my heart out. I dont think I will ever get those disturbing images and statistics out of my head. I tried to do the right thing and go the rescue route. For over a month I went to the humane society, looked online within a several hundred mile radius of Seattle and applied to adopt a PSLRA (lab rescue) puppy. I never found a lab puppy online or at the humane society nor did I ever heard back from PSLRA. I ended up having to go to a breeder for my puppy. I got flack from it at work from several people but they had no idea how I had spent a month trying to get a puppy. Even though we have two shelter animals (Jasper and Lilly our cat), from time to time I regret that decision and feel incredibly guilty. Today was one of those days.
