7. That prescious little dog...

Is that NOT the cutest little thing you ever seen? Just another example of what happens when capitalism falls into the wrong hands. This is how "Puppy Mills" got their name. They start out with good intentions, but somewhere along the way it just all becomes too much work. The one thing that is missing, as in vulture capitalism, is love and compassion. My niece used to breed Yorkshire Terriers. They lived in her home and were all her babies. She loved, groomed, nurtured and took each pup in the litter (along with mamma yorkey) to the vet just as if they were her children. That's the difference. Love and compassion. What a doll Billy is... I'm so glad he finally got a good home...
