I hope they can enforce it...great job! We went through that with 2 cocker
spaniel puppies several years back..they had organ trouble and all sorts of
other things. We had cockers growing up, and my sister and I both got 1 as
adults. They had 2 puppies left from this litter..one looked like our one that
passed and a little black one. They both had tons of stuff wrong with them.
That's when I started researching other dogs.
I have to make a new Yahoo name and change the email I'm using for this group
later. I'm using this email for work now, and my phone beeps every time someone
emails me...lol
My neighbor's chi, Goldie, came over for my son to baby sit on Wed...we just
love her, lack of anyone teaching her anything. @@.
