Oh my Chris, how sad! I am surprised that this is occuring BEFORE Christmas. I was just thinking to myself today as I read my local paper, and found myself looking at "pets for sale" (don't ask me why I always read this part of the paper ) that the ads have more than doubled. So many of the ads say "Ready for Christmas." This just makes me cringe. I have to wonder how many who buy A LIFE for Christmas will toss it aside come January. Too sad to even think about.
