We haven't bred the 2 bitches we were going to because I can't afford?and I don't have room for 14-20 pups.? I?will probably?skip the entire year and maybe next.? The last time the Government did this economic stuff it lead to the Great Depression.? I really don't want a dozen or more dogs to feed if that happens again. ? It's been 4 months or so since I have had a call looking for a puppy.? I did have one looking for an older puppy which I filled.

I am surprised by the number of puppies I see being advertised. I know the bottom has really dropped out around here. Even though I don't breed anymore I normally get a lot of calls at this time of year and there are virtually none right now Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
