PET SHOP PUPPIES

THROUGH THE EYES OF A PUPPY

I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH FROM

THE PLACE I WAS BORN. IT WAS

CRAMPED AND DARK, AND WE

WERE NEVER PLAYED WITH BY THE

HUMANS. I REMEMBER MOM AND

HER SOFT FUR, BUT SHE WAS

OFTEN SICK, AND VERY THIN.

SHE HARDLY ANY MILK FOR

ME AND MY BROTHERS AND

SISTERS. I REMEMBER MANY OF

THEM DYING, AND I MISSED THEM

SO. I DO REMEMBER THE DAY I

WAS TAKEN FROM MOM. I WAS

SO SAD AND SCARED, MY

MILK TEETH HAD ONLY JUST

COME IN, AND I REALY SHOULD

HAVE BEEN WITH MY MOM

STILL, BUT SHE WAS SO SICK,

AND THE HUMANS KEPT SAYING

THAT THEY WANTED MONEY AND

WERE SICK OF THE " MESS " THAT

ME AND MY SISTER MADE. SO

WE WERE CRATED UP AND

TAKEN TO A STRANGE PLACE.

JUST THE TWO OF US.

WE HUDDLED TOGETHER

AND WERE SO SCARED,

STILL NO HUMAN HANDS CAME

TO PET OR LOVE US.

SO MANY SIGHTS AND SOUNDS,

AND SMELLS! WE ARE IN A

STORE WHERE THERE ARE MANY

DIFFERENT ANIMALS! SOME

THAT SQUAWK! SOME THAT

MEOW! SOME THAT PEEP! MY

SISTER AND I WERE JAMMED

INTO A SMALL CAGE, I HEAR

OTHER PUPPIES HERE. I SEE

HUMANS LOOK AT ME, I LIKE

THE ' LITTLE HUMANS ' THE KIDS.

THEY LOOK SO SWEET, AND

FUN, LIKE THEY WOULD PLAY

WITH ME!

ALL DAY WE STAY IN THE

SMALL CAGE, SOMTIMES MEAN

PEOPLE WILL HIT THE GLASS

AND FRIGHTEN US. EVERY

ONCE IN AWHILE WE ARE

TAKEN OUT TO BE HELD OR

SHOWN TO HUMANS. SOME ARE

GENTLE SOME HURT US, WE

ALWAYS HEAR "" AW THEY ARE

SO CUTE! I WANT ONE!" BUT

WE NEVER GET TO GO WITH

ANY.

MY SISTER DIED LAST NIGHT

WHEN THE STORE WAS DARK.

I LAY MY HEAD ON HER SOFT

FUR AND FELT THE LIFE LEAVE

HER SMALL THIN BODY. I HAD

HEARD THEM SAY SHE WAS SICK,

AND THAT I SHOULD BE SOLD

AS A " DISCOUNT PRICE "

SO THAT I WOULD LEAVE

THE STORE. I THINK MY SOFT

WHINE WAS THE ONLY ONE

THAT MOURNED FOR HER AS

HER BODY WAS TAKEN OUT

OF THE CAGE IN THE MORNING

AND DUMPED.

TODAY, A FAMILY CAME AND

BOUGHT ME! OH WHAT A HAPPY

DAY!! THEY ARE A NICE FAMILY,

THEY REALY, REALY WANTED ME!!

THEY BOUGHT A DISH AND FOOD

AND THE LITTLE GIRL HELD ME SO

TENDERLY IN HER ARMS. I LOVE HER

SO MUCH! THE MOM AND DAD SAY

WHAT A SWEET AND GOOD PUPPY

I AM THEY GAVE ME A NAME AND

THAT WAS ANGEL. ILOVE TO LICK

MY NEW HUMANS. THE FAMILY

TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME,

THEY GENTLY TEACH ME RIGHT

FROM WRONG, GIVE ME GOOD

FOOD, AND LOTS OF LOVE!! I

WANT ONLY TO PLEASE

THESEWONDERFUL PEOPLE,

I LOVE THE LITTLE GIRL AND I ENJOY

RUNNING AND PLAYING WITH HER.

TODAY I WENT TO THE VETS. IT

WAS A STRANGE PLACE AND I

WAS SO FRIGHTENED. I GOT SOME

SHOTS, BUT MY BEST FRIEND

THE LITTLE GIRL HELD ME SOFTLY

AND SAID IT WOULD BE OK. SO

I RELAXED. THE VET MUST HAVE

SAID SAD WORDS TO MY

BELOVED FAMILY,

BECUASE THEY LOOKED AWFULLY

SAD. I HEARD SEVERE HIP DYSPLACIA,

AND SOMETHING ABOUT

MY HEART...I HEARD THE VET SAY

SOMETHING ABOUT , BACK STREET

BREEDERS AND MY PARENTS NOT

BEING TESTED. I KNOW NOT WHAT

ANY OF WHAT ANY OF THAT MEANS,

JUST THAT IT HURTS ME TO SEE

MY FAMILY SO SAD. BUT THEY

STILL LOVE ME, AND I STILL LOVE

THEM VERY MUCH.

I AM 6 MONTHS OLD NOW.

WHERE OTHER PUPPIES ARE

ROBUST AND ROWDEY, IT

HUTRS ME TERRIBLY JUST TO MOVE.

THE PAIN NEVER LETS UP. IT

HURTS TO RUN AND PLAY WITH

MY BELOVED LITTLE GIRL, AND

I FIND IT HARD TO BREATH.I TRY

MY BEST TO BE THE STRONG PUP

THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT

ITS SO HARD. IT BREAKS MY

HEART TO SEE THE LITTLE GIRL SO

SAD, AND TO HEAR MOM AND

DAD TALK ABOUT THAT IT MIGHT

NOW BE THE TIME. SEVERAL

TIMES I HAVE WENT TO THE

VET AND THE NEWS IS NEVER

GOOD. THEY TALK ABOUT

CONGENITAL PROBLEMS.

I JUST WANT TO FEEL THE WARM

SUNSHINE AND RUN, AND PLAY

WITH MY FAMILY. LAST NIGHT

WAS THE WORST, PAIN IT IS

CONSTANT NOW, IT HURTS EVEN

TO GET UP AND GET A DRINK.

I TRY TO GET UP BUT CAN ONLY

WHINE IN PAIN.I AM TAKEN IN

THE CAR ONE LAST TIME.

EVERYONE IS SO SAD, AND

I DONT KNOW WHY. HAVE

I BEEN BAD, I TRY TO BE GOOD

AND LOVING, WHAT HAVE I DONE

WRONG? OH IF ONLY THIS PAIN

WOULD BE GONE!! IF ONLY I

COULD SOOTHE THE TEARS

OF THE LITTLE GIRL. I REACH

OUT MY MUZZLE TO LICK HER

HAND, BUT CAN ONLY WHINE

IN PAIN.THE VETS TABLE IS COLD.

I AM SO FRIGHTENED.

THE HUMANS ALL HUG MEAND

LOVE ME,THEY CRY INTO MY

SOFT FUR. I CAN FEEL THEIR

LOVE AND SADNESS.

I MANAGE TO LICK SOFTLY

THEIR HANDS. EVEN THE

VET DOEN!T SEEM SO SCARY

TODAY. THE LITTLE GIRL HOLDS

ME SOFTLY AND I THANK HER,

FOR GIVING ME ALL HER LOVE.

I FEEL A SOFT PINCH IN MY

FORELEG. THE PAIN IS BEGING

TO LIFT, I AM BEGINING TO

FEEL A PEACE DESCENDING ON ME.

I CAN NOW SOFTLY LICK HER

HAND. MY VISION IS BECOMING

DREAMLIKE NOW, AND I SEE MY

MOTHER AND MY BROTHERS AND

SISTERS, IN A FAR OFF GREEN

PLACE. THEY TELL ME THERE IS

NO PAIN THERE, ONLY

PEACE AND HAPPINESS. I TELL

MY FAMILY

GOODBYE IN THE ONLY WAY I

KNOW HOW, A SOFT WAG OF MY

TAIL AND A NUZZLE OF MY NOSE.

I HAD HOPED TO SPEND MANY

MANY MOONS WITH THEM.

BUT IT WAS NOT MENT TO BE.

" YOU SEE SAID THE VET"

PET SHOP PUPPIES DO NOT

COME FROM ETHICAL BREEDERS

THE PAIN ENDS NOW, AND I KNOW

IT WILL BE MANY YEARS UNTILL

I SEE MY BELOVED FAMILY AGAIN.

IF ONLY THINGS COULD OF

BEEN DIFFERENT.

( THIS STORY MAY BE PUBLISHED

OR REPRINTED IN THE HOPES THAT

IT WILL STOP UNETHICAL

BREEDERS ),

AND THOSE THAT BREED FOR

ONLY THE MONEY AND NOT

FOR THE BETTERMENT OF

THE BREED.

Won't you please take a few minutes to sign our guestbook. Thank you.
