You accuse us of being rude, so guess what I AM gonna be rude.
YOU NEED TO RUN NOT walk to your vet and GET THAT DOG SPAYED. You are doing one of the most dispicable things in the world. Trying to make a living off of a poor dogs health, reproductive system etc. YES you are a puppy mill.
Cricket will be much happier and healthier if she is spayed. She is already at an alarming risk for breast, cervical and uterine cancer. Congratulate your family for me. B/c I am sure when she gets that she will be PTS
I know people who don't claim to care about their animals HALF as much as you do and their dogs are spayed and neutered.
It is just common sense.
You come here brag about your dog having trouble giving birth, brag about her only being 3 1/2 and having 6 litters, and EXPECT us to welcome you with open arms? Have you not understood that is is a PET LOVING site?
I hope the rest of your dogs are fixed. If I knew where you lived I would turn your family into the ASPCA faster than your head would spin.
