[img]http://www.humaneleague.com/images/42754_small.jpg[/img] Well, I saw Bear again, and again I left in tears. This time, I really think he remembered me. He got all excited and I was so close to taking him!! Hey, what's the difference between a 113 lb - 10 year old dog and a yittle yellow lab?????? But, just as I was saying how upset I was about him, one of the kennel workers told me that a lady was very interested in him and was going to bring her dog back today to meet him!!!! I got chills when she said that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!!!!! I really hope it works out!!! If it doesn't, I might just have to go back and get him!!!! He is ten!! I would want him to live the rest of his years happy!!! I could always get a lab any time, right :roll:

Chelsea does that!! Especially lately. One day, she threw up about 5 times, and most of it was grass :o

[color=blue][size=7][b]YEA!!!!!!!! Good job!!!!! [/b][/size][/color]:B-fly: :laola:

We are going down there today to bring blankets and etc. Rowie, I will put a dollar or two in the basket for you!!!

Yes!!! That's him :cry: I really wish I had a RANCH!!! I would take them all.

There is a great park we take the dogs to about once a week, and with all the rain we had, it flooded and about 6 trees along the creek came crashing down :o We couldn't even take our favorite path because it was covered by a huge fallen tree :( It was really quite sad. The park employees sure have their hands full!!!!! The girls had a good time any way - running and swimming in the very swollen creek - you could see all the water marks where the creek swelled over it's banks..... Hope they get it cleaned up soon!!

Wow, what are the odds of that happening in one day???? Sounds like a great day :lol: Glad everybody had fun at the beach 8)

I know, but my birthday is Tuesday :oops: :oops: Now I won't have my present.... :wink:

I would think they have shut her down before after reading the articles. I think she just changes the name and starts again. Please, please help the shelter if you feel bad for the dogs. They really need our help. It is easy to send a donation.

Well, they did their job, and now have more than 400 additional animals to care for. Please donate, even if it is a dollar.

You can pay through paypal (set up an account if you don't have one) or fill out the form for a TAX BREAK - Non profit Charitable Contribution Please help if you can!!!! If you live in the area, and don't have cash, they need other things too..... blankets, towels, food for all the workers, etc.

We can't go out now until NEXT Sunday. They haven't had their last set of shots yet. :( Oh well. I did donate to the humane society.

Joyce Stoltzfus, owner of Puppy Love Kennels in Peach Bottom, is accused of selling dogs with American Kennel Club registrations while under suspension. The League also is probing whether Stoltzfus, of 267 Riverview Road, neglects the dogs she is raising and sells dogs with ailments that are fatal or expensive to treat. Attempts to contact Stoltzfus on Thursday were unsuccessful. Megan Gallagher Clark, the League's executive director, said the shelter will be closed to the public today as staff and volunteers tend to the influx of dogs. The shelter, however, will be open to people dropping off or reclaiming pets. They can go the front entrance checkpoint. The Humane League issued a press release Thursday reporting that the state police, the state attorney general's office and the AKC are helping with their investigation into the kennel operation. Investigators, however, are refusing to discuss details until the case is closed. Lainie Cantrell, AKC's public relations director, confirmed Stoltzfus' suspension but couldn't give the reasons or the term of it. Spokeswoman Barbara Petito said the attorney general's office is encouraging anyone who has bought dogs from Puppy Love Kennels to telephone the office at (800) 441-2555, or log on to [url]www.attorneygeneral.gov[/url], where an online complaint form can be filled out. The latest investigation marks the fourth time Stoltzfus' operation has been under scrutiny. In March 2001, the state Board of Veterinary Medicine fined Stoltzfus $500 for practicing veterinary medicine without a license. She provided one of her customers with two plastic bags of drugs, including Amoxicillin, a violation of state law. The same month, a district justice dropped 82 of the 85 charges the state filed against her for dog law violations because an inspection of her kennel was incomplete. The remaining three charges were for overcrowding. The attorney general's office sued Stoltzfus in 1997 on behalf of 98 customers who had bought "defective" dogs between 1992 and 1997. Many of the dogs died or had to be euthenized. The case was eventually settled with Stoltzfus and her husband, Raymond, agreeing to pay $30,600 in restitution but admitting no wrongdoing. Earlier, in 1991, the Stoltzfuses were fined $10,000 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for selling dogs without a license, unsanitary conditions and inadequate disease control. At the time, they agreed to pay an additional $15,000 for any further violations. In addition to leading this latest investigation, the League must care for the hundreds of dogs seized. The shelter is already overburdened. Because it's a private, nonprofit organization and must provide shelter, food and veterinary care for these animals, League officials are asking for donations of money, time and supplies. Donations of food and beverages for the shelter staff and volunteers also would be appreciated, Clark said. For more information, contact the Humane League at 295-1391.

No, that's not it...... I'll look on line for it.

Do you have the link to that?

OMG, YES!! That's it!!!

Yea!!!! :laola: :lol: :lol:

He called!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a one time breeder, mom and dad both have hip certs, and the mom is a wonderful dog!!! We are going up on Sunday to check them out. 3 hours away, but he is meeting us half way in the Poconos. I think this is the better choice. The dogs from the mill are not socialized and may have poor health. I hope this works out!!! If it does, we will have a new pup on Sunday, and I will make a large donation to the Humane Society :oops:

Wow!!! I would never pay that!!!

I CAN'T resist!! :lol: :lol: Sorry, I'm no help :lol: :lol:

Yes, you can also go to "View" at the top of your menu bar and click on "text size". There you can increase the size too.

Just heard from the breeder: [quote]Sure, our blacks and yellows are $1,000 This includes a crate, all shots up to 7 weeks, having the dew claws removed, a two hour presentation upon pickup, complete vaccination history and several page booklet on training and socialization, two year hip guarantee, installation of a tracking micro chip implanted in the pup, and all the follow up answers to any of you questions in the future. We stand by our pups. Tony [/quote] Did not hear from the brother at all!!! After our wild adventure yesterday at the puppy mill, I really want to rescue on of those pups now...... Now, I don't know what to do :roll:

Well, I know now!!!

All I could see were a few obvious females wandering the property!! I could only see one pup in a crate while they were taking it. They had a huge truck filled with empty crates. You should go to the web site, it is on there already!!! The woman was investigated on 20/20!!!!!

Welcome!!! Nice to have you and Heidi here!!
