..... give ME a break! if not, at least give those poor pups a sanitary and safe place to live. =================================How judgmental can anyone get from reading one short email? The email said in part, "We did have a rat problem early in the spring and we caught about 20 rats in rat traps. They could have brought something onto the property but no one has given me any ideas what it could be. No poison was ever used. No chemicals on the lawn or gardens. No sprays of any kinds. We clean the puppy room with bleach. And all bedding is changed daily. No new toys or anything have come into the environment. Same ones we use all the time and wash regularly. " She never said she had 20 rats in her house. She said she trapped 20 rats without specifing anything more than the rats were on her property. Even if she trapped all 20 in the house she apparently resolved the problem. Gosh, you admitted you had a rat in your house - should everyone jump to the conclusion your house was filthy - of course not! She stated what procedure she follows to keep the puppy area clean, where does it say the puppies are in an unsanitary or unsafe environment?
