This puppy has brought so much love and light to our lives...we lost our boys in September of 2006 and waited until I just couldn't take it anymore and we broke down and bought her from a pet store.  I am totally against pet stores, but she was there before Christmas and after she was still there and marked down to half price and was almost ready to go back to the puppy mill she came from and I just couldn't bear it...our next puppies will be from a shelter or breeder...and just so you know, we adopted one cat from the shelter and another was given to me by a friend, so our home is full of "kiddos"...my children have paws instead of fingers and toes and I am just fine with it...they are the light of my life and the joy in my days...I would be lost without them, they have saved me...
