    So a person selling tamales could quite possibly murder you? LOL

    although that is a weird combination...tamales, puppies, shoes. :confused:

    I've had a dog before and i'm at home all day so I have the time a puppy/dog needs to be active. If it makes you feel better, I will watch dog whisperer tonight. ;)

    Man, you saved me the trouble of posting this. Never, EVER, EVER buy from a pet store. Puppy mill dogs are known for taking poor care of animals. They remove the puppies from their mothers too early and keep them in conditions that often lead to tons of problems down the road.

    You're talking about those pet shops like the ones in the malls? Those places are horrible.


    The adoption fairs outside of Petsmart are actually really good. They're non-profit rescue groups who have to administer vaccines and spay/neuter before they can try to place the pups. But it's really up to chance as to what kinds of dogs they'll have each time.

    I guess. It's not even Petsmart that's bad; it's the fact that they get their dogs from puppy mills.

    Petsmart and Petco both have arrangements with pet rescue/adoption agencies/charities who bring in their dogs and cats from shelters to help them find homes. You can't actually buy a dog from petsmart or petco - you adopt one from an agency who's showing their animals there.

    didn't you just had the carpets cleaned due to the smell left by the previous home owners?
