just like any other day I was minding m bussiness when on the way home I saw a pen thing with puppies..........and you know I can´t stand puppies

....so I had to go there and pet them, I hate seeing them being sold like that but I just can´t help myself and go pet them and play a little with them.......such a puppy sucker I am........

there were 3 poodles, like 6 chihuahuas, 2 white boxers, 1 schnauzer,2 black lab mixes, an adorable flower sharpei (never saw one in real like, I mean in person), 2 gorgeous black akitas (made me think of Robilee

) and 2 other black dogs with a white chest patch and white toes, medium hair lenght...

anyway as I was there some other people stopped by and were asking about puppies and prices and all, i just stood and listened.......

and a person asked about the medium haired black dogs.......and the man there said they are ..........(seriously he said this)........GOLDEN RETRIEVERS, but black........(COME ON!! do you know ANYTHING about breeds at all??)

they seemed more like newfie mixes or probably lab mixes as we don´t have newfies around here........maybe some lab/golden because they DID have a certain golden look in the eyes but that was it........

I can´t believe they tell people that and more so that people actually believe it´s true!!......I´m mad because thya may think we are ignorant but they sure don´t know who they were talking to.....(well they were not actually talking to me but still, why did they assume they are right and we donñt know nothing).......arrgg I hate this people........

sorry I had to vent/rant......and thought this would be better posted here......

nonetheless..........pretty puppies and cute and adorable......

Well, there is a saying that "there's a sucker born every minute", and it
seems to be true. Some people believe anything they are told, if they are
convinced the person saying it was believeable enough.

Pet stores that sale dogs need to shut down.

The other day I was asked if Zoey was a golden retriever.. I was like no she is a flat-coated retriever.... and black. What byb to do peoples minds.

haha anyone who wouldn't know that is not a golden retriever shouldn't even have any animals becuase they obviously know nothing about dogs.

Haha, I would probably nod my head yes. I am the WORST at identifying dog breeds.

Good thing all my dogs are mixed bags. If anyone asks what breeds they are, I just say Canarian dogs. jiji

So do web sites! My company gives out "points" with dollar value that you can spend at stores or at this one web site. I clicked on "Pets" and they had dogs for sale!

I immediately sent them an email (politely) expressing my disapproval, and will also inform my own company that supporting this website is not in the company's interest.
