as you can tell, I love pugs....put I love all animals. my first pug I bought out of the paper, my second I found through a rescue out of Oklahoma called homewardboundpugrescue.com. my little mimi is a puppy mill survivor. when rescued, the rescue didn't know she was pregnant at 6 months old. (btw, that is way too young to breed a dog) When I took sweet little 9lb mimi home, she was emaciated, anemic, had a tick infestation and her body was mostly skin and bones with 10 tits of milk as most of her body weight. I raised all her babies and they were adopted out to good pug lovin' homes. Mimi now weighs 18lbs (oops that is almost too much) and is a happy healthy girl. This really opened my eyes to what a puppy mill is and how many dogs are cruelly treated in them. they are only out to make money and are treated like a crop (like ears of corn). most of them spend their whole lives in a small cage with a wire floor and are never let out. after about 6-8 years (after they can produce no more pups, they are most often killed via gunshot, poisoning, drowning, hanging...etc) this video shows the greed of this Amish man in Ohio. he is being secretly taped by an undercover investigator pretending to be interested in buying his operation. don't mean to be a downer in my blog (heck, I dont even know if anyone is reading it yet) but I wanted people to know what is going on out in our world. just cause it's hard to watch, doesn't mean we shouldn't watch it as it will help us make a difference.

It is so sad how cruel people can be. :(
I wish I had so much that I could save all of these dogs.
i know how you feel. we can only save those that we are able and spread the word about what puppy mills are and to shut them down. thank you for your caring heart.
