| Your right, in the grand scheme of things I'm thrilled its closed but knowing how many pups from there are suffering...I really hope Miss Spears joins the class action suit and herself gets educated.

| I know there is not a lot of education out there about buying a pet but most people know the scoop about pet stores. I just don't get it. |

| I couldn't access the link you posted, but google turned up several hits. Out of the 5 that I read, only one didn't use the word 'teacup'. It looks like the media is another area that needs to be educated. Is it just me, or does the supposed "source"s quote about Britney being rich and the vet bills make anyone else's blood boil? |

| I guess it is nice that she can afford to get the dog some help but there are a lot of people who cannot. Yorkie rescues around the country are swamped with puppies and dogs like this whose owners cannot afford to get the medical care they need so they have to surrender the poor creature. This is why puppy mills and people who breed only for size need to be put out of business. |

| It's so sad that the Yorkie baby is ill. Regardless where it came from, it doesn't deserve such medical trouble. I do hope Brittany helps eliminate the problem that is causing her and her Yorkster such grief. Perhaps this will help 'awaken' others to the plight of innocent animals bred for profit. I'll be thinking of this poor baby...sending it healing vibes.

| That's sad to read. I just hope the puppy gets better. In the meantime, I hope more and more people read these kinds of stories and stop buying the mill pups. |
