Hello Friends of all living creatures,
I did not now what Puppy Mills were until I saw this picture
on my FB. Since then I have learned a lot and none of it was
a pleasant read. I just want to make you aware of this phenomena on human cruelty.
This is my story.
When I was twelve I had a Yorkie. She was my whole world. My mother got her for ” free” in exchange for her going in and getting pregnant and having puppies twice a year to the real owner. I am sure my mother thought that it was the only way of affording to give me a dog at all. But the attitude towards animals back then was also bad. We never heard of puppy mills back then but later in life I have understood that the “Owner” really destroyed the dogs by breeding them too many times. And that happened with my dog Lesley.
She died while close to birth, of heart falure. I never thought I would be able to love a dog again after that and it took years before I was able to open my heart to that kind of love again. She could have been saved but none of the adults around me wanted to spend the money on a veterinarian (it was just a dog, right), not even her owner. I will never forget the last night of her life when I carried her outside to go to the bathroom and her looking at me with those eyes. Asking me to help her, and how helpless I felt. The next morning I found her stiff and cold body curled up beside my head in the bed. All the babies in her tummy were also stiff and cold. Nothing moved at all.
I cried for months and there was a deep hole left in my heart. I would never trust in people and life again after that experience.
It threw my whole world upside down and I was a mess for years afterwards. I felt like an empty shell walking around.
Please don’t do this to your children or yourselves and the dogs.
Adopt a dog instead. Don’t buy it from a puppy mill. LOVE is everything it is not a toy
