Thanks dickie I had heard of it but the story was well worth a read.
It has my support far too many end up on death row.
Searching all the RSPCA type pages is depressing.
But the pet shops is hell.

Belly
We are so sorry to hear you lost your little mate.
Just remember however plenty of animals need a good home and they all we will love you unconditionally.
Good Luck with only being able to pick one.
Its hard.
I am sure your little buddy is still watching over you.

In defense of all those people who want that special dog, the breed the type that fills the hole.
I want my pup to grow older with me,
And my pup fits my home and lifestyle I know I have had that breed, my pup will be with me almost every place.
But I will give a home to two dogs my pup and the first homeless grown one I see.
Each will be loved , one may grow to understand me better ,but both will never need a mate.
However we must do something about the dreadful life and death so many pets have.
And the dreadful fraud that most pet shops trade in animals is.
Then again we seem to find it imposable to look after even some people don't we?

Just words, I broke all my own rules today but Sky is home and at my feet.
Cross breed, rule one down Jack Russel mini foxy cross.
Pet shop, but a good one rule two down.
Every thing was done well by the shop ,including interviewing me to assure them selves I was a good owner, impressive!
A good end to a long sad story.

It has been a week Sky is 75mm tall, a passing woman asked me was she a Guinea pig yesterday!
She will grow to about 450 mm but is already worth about twice her price to me, the value of the carpet she has eaten!
Searching still for my pound puppy to keep her company.
