What does you having bringing in any other people to this converstaion have to do with YOU being responsible for your dogs.??? What a silly retort. You never did answer my question as to what you would say to puppy buyers that their dogs came up with DM . ( you should be able to stand on your own I would think ) ACK!!

Sylvia Wow, with the ages Sylvia has gotten her dogs to, I'd say she is doing a damned fine job! I don't know if she wants to answer the puppy buyer question, but I will; I'd tell a puppy buyer to do whatever they were comfortable with, no more, no less. Everyone has different thresholds on just how much medical intervention they are comfortable with for their dogs, (on a practical and economical level) how much they are willing to put their dogs, themselves and their families through. I would hope that I would have the kindness, compassion and respect for the individual involved to realize that, to realize what a painful time/subject it was for them, to lend a shoulder to lean on while keeping my mouth shut and respecting their decision.
