Julie,

No reason to apologize. You are entitled to your opinion and you definitely have strong feelings about this. My husband warned me that by writing that letter that I was setting myself up to be judged. That's ok though. I'm tough and I can take it. Maybe I wrote the letter because I was feeling guilty about buying my pup from Petland. I'm not for sure. I do know that I no longer feel that way. As Robyn pointed out I don't have to justify or explain anything. I love my little girl and she will be well taken care of.

Have a great day...Robin

P.S.... I love your dogs! They are two of my favorite breeds. I absolutely love collies but the only thing holding me back from getting one is all the hair. Is it very hard to take care of?
