I can not believe it has been a year already since Roxy found me. After years of research, waiting for the right time in my life and then a long run of interviews with breeders, I ran in to the pet store on my lunch break for some bunny bedding. And while waiting to pay I saw this sad hound in the small cage sitting on the floor in the back of the store.
Now, I know to never, ever buy a puppy from a pet store and I have been tempted before, but there was just some thing about her, a real connection and I couldn’t just leave. I asked to see her so she could get out of that damn cage and then kept repeating to my self, never from a pet store, never from a pet store, I then handed her over and tried to leave, I really did!
But every time I would turn my back, she would let out this funny howling sound as to say Momma, please don’t leave me!!! So I went back and picked her up, asked for her papers, gave her a long look over and asked for some referrals.
From that moment on, I knew she was my Princess, the one I had been waiting for. I still never advise buying from a pet store because you have to worry about supporting puppy mills, but I do believe in following your heart.
