Very Sad News

Mom and I were really upset to hear that 92 English Springer Spaniels were taken from a home in Dover Foxcroft. They weren't being fed and watered properly and a couple of dogs had already died. We saw pictures on tv and in the newspaper and they were beautiful puppies and full grown dogs. They have been placed in several shelters throughout Maine, but it will be awhile before they will be able to go to new homes since they need to be checked for diseases. We hope that homes can be found for them. Bangor Daily News Article. I hope this link works.

Heidi is so right. I don't think anyone can give a human more love than we can. And I too hope that all those puppies and dogs get really good homes and humans who will love them a lot.

Wow that is so so horrifying. We had a local woman here last year that started out with the right intentions but things got out of hand the dogs really suffered. She maintained up to when they closed down that horrible place that she was doing a good thing and that she was sorry.

Humans, sometimes you just can't understand 'em . . .

It is sad when humans get so many dogs they can't take care of them anymore.

Mom has just three of us. Sometimes she says that is 3 too many but she always feels sad when she hears stories like this one.

I hope they find the humans who did that to those dogs. I hate to hear those things.

I sure hope Oprah's puppymill show has some positive outcomes to avoid situations like this.
