Those horribe conditions!

I'd actually perfer to rescue adult dogs. They're already neutered/spayed, have their first round of shots, housed trained and usually leash broken. Takes out all the stuff I hate about getting a new dog.

Its not that I dont like adult dogs I just prefer puppies. I own 4 dogs there all American Escimoe's (I think thats how you pell It) I got the first girl for Christmas when I was about 4. Then we got a male. (you all know what happens now) They had puppies! YAY! 4 puppies. So I use to have 6 dogs ! They were a HANDFUL! . They barked ALOT!! And our neibhors complained and called animal control (GRRRRRRR) I was at school and my mom was at work so we could not stop their barking. When animal control came and saw the amount of dogs we had they said were breaking a (stupid!) rule. They made us get rid of 2 of them! (WAAAAAAA! I DONT WANNA!) We had no choice. We gave 1 to my Mom's friend, and the other 1 to someone who works with my mom. So we still get to see them ! YAYAYAYAY! Honestly I think It all worked out for the best, Those dogs were diving us up the wall! Financially and mentally!

sweetspice,
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I have to require that you tone down on the smilies. You shouldn't be using them more than 1 or 2 in every 10 posts.

Oh sorry Percy's Mom. I like to use them alot because there so cute. It wont happen again.

So in my area, the outside is good looking, which entices people and the cycle perpetuates.

In my city, all the petstores are nice too. Except the petcos, I don't like petco much
