Bad Day Today.

So sorry Pam-I remember my puppy when I was a child getting parvo, and have vaccinated all my dogs for it ever since. I hope your pup is feeling better today
Hang in there, though it seems hard to believe at times, it will get better...it has to. I lost my dream career to my disability,(head injury from a truck accident caused seizure disorder and then mild brain damage), and I have also had to deal with some kind of weird neurological condition that is causing problems with my spine and joints, and crushing cluster migraines, so I went from being the chief bread winner to being furniture, and our socio-economic status went from upwardly mobile middle class, to hanging by our fingernails, poor, white , trash. Its constant stress and strife, but you cannot let it eat you.
I just got my dogs neutered to stop them from fighting, and low and behold, my big boy got an infection and I had to drop another $150 on another vet visit and meds, and the scholarship money that was supposed to be here this week,(according to my lying enrollment advisor at Grand Canyon University), in all actuality wont be here until sometime next month, and it is too late to withdraw and return to NAU for this semester. My truck just got a brake job because I was running metal to metal, and now it needs a water pump, and to top it off, when the mechanic at Meineke drained my A/C system, he screwed up and supposedly did not realize that he didnt have the proper fittings or certification to refill it, so now I have no A/C in my truck. No dryer in my house, my washer and microwave are both dying noisy deaths, and none of my fat, healthy, chickens are laying. But, my kids are healthy and its the monsoon so I have to count my blessings.
Try to take a deep breath and think of all of the ways you are blessed, and then breathe real deep and just think that they cant kill you for owing them money, and you are not facing fire, flood or famine. This helps me to get up and move every single day. :aww

Without attacking you personally, I completely disagree with your method of "educating" emzyy is full of incorrect information. Pet stores do get their supply of stock, ie animals from puppy mills. They do not care where they get the stock from, they are simply in it to make money. Pet Stores do not check out the breeding, health or characteristics of the stock they purchase.
The Humane Soc of the US does not import dogs to sell! That is the most inaccurate information I have ever heard. Those dogs are imported so they can find the homes they deserve. The Humane Society does not put down thousands of animals a year, however that cannot be said about the state of NY. Thousands upon thousands of homeless animals are euthanized there each year.
PETA is a completely different organization all together. They have done some good work and not so good work.
You are right, the world is over populated. If you cannot afford, take care, love and cherish children, then by no means should you be having them. That is just competely off the topic.
I support the efforts of my local shelters, rescues and state efforts to improve the lives of all animals, whether they be pets or farm animals.

Pet stores DO get there puppys from puppy mills. they do not come from responsible breeders. Any responsible breeder would NEVER sell their puppies to a pet store.
