    A bit of activism.

    My company has a rewards program, where you can earn points and buy stuff. The web site that you use had Yorkie-Poos for sale! I protested to both the awards site (no response so far) and my HR person. It has been escalated to Vice President of benefits. My company takes animal welfare very seriously, and it looks like it's putting its money where it's mouth is.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I'm glad you took a stand, and even happier that they're doing something about it. YAY!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    A Yorkie-poo is half Yorkshire Terrier and half toy poodle. In other words, an "accident".
