mulberrymoon... her dad died & she's having a rough time.
second of all, i found out that the puppy is AKC-registered & came from a breeder rather than a puppy mill or anything like that. We know who her parents are and who owns them. We have her papers. She has a very clean bill of health and is a "pet-quality" dog. The store where my mom bought her is not part of a chain; it's privately owned, and the owner only buys puppies from reputable (ehhhh) breeders (ehhhh because I'm not sure any seriously reputable breeder would sell puppies to a pet store, even one that has a good reputation and all). I still don't feel good about this manner of acquisition, but it's at least a relief to know that she's a happy puppy from decent conditions.
