Sweet baby Nikki, foster dog #3, arrived from China this morning. She’s POOPED. As in, she’s tired AND SHE HAS POOPED — outside, even! #ForTheWin This 14 week old puppy is the cutest. I can hardly stand it. We met with the vet today who gave an initial diagnosis on her eyes — she’s partially blind and will see a specialist soon to nail down specifics. I Pooped Today shirt.

Now, obviously there are many breeders and stores that are reputable, and there’s zero inherently wrong with purchasing an animal that way.
