The pet store I got max from doesn't buy puppies at all (it out of business now, the owners hubby died & she couldn't care for it on her own). T

hey took puppies from anyone who had an accidental litter, from all around. & they sold the puppies for $20.00. The puppies had their first shots (from their owners), & all were dewormed at the store.

The puppies were kept in a huge cage on the floor (during the day only), with a removable top. Kids were not alowed to yell in the store or hold the puppies unless they were sitting on the floor & the owner ok'd it.

The puppies had the whole backroom to themselves at night, unless they were tiny tiny puppies, they were put in the huge pig pen & the pig was put in the backroom(the pig had the backroom during the day, it was the owners pet pig).

I was the only kid who had perminet permission to hold the puppies when they were awake. I was known as the puppy sitter. I would hold all the puppies at once (avg 2-8) everyday, until they stopped crying & fell asleep. Nancy & her hubby just loved me. They would give me a free fish once amonth for my good work (I was only 8). I miss Nancy & her hubby. Nancy is still around, but I never get to see her when I'm in town & she hasn't seen Max in over 6 yrs, she loved him.
