Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Puppies When They're Drunk

“How much is that puppy in the window?”

For drunk New Yorkers the answer used to be, “WHO CARES? I’LL TAKE TWO,” but not anymore. The problem of drunk puppy buying is so rife that stores have had to crack down, and we now have a United Front Against Drunken Puppy Buying across the nation.

This is so wonderfully American I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Since I much prefer the former—that’s what I am doing.

Where else but in our great land do we have a city (New York) where can we find a half a dozen high-end pet stores selling puppies for thousands of dollars each to inebriated buyers? May I ask, why are these stores open so late, or are drunk puppy buyers shopping during normal business hours?

Clearly the foresight of a drunk puppy fondler/buyer is limited, but, as they are finding out the next day, payback’s a bitch. That would be a small bitch who has peed and pooped all over the new sisal rugs.

So, the puppy soon gets returned to his old home. (Is there a 30-day return policy?)

And, does this now make the puppy a cough-cough “shelter-type” dog? Returned, unwanted, like something’s wrong with it?

And, does the next buyer of the new/old puppy know she is getting “relinquished” goods? Do the stores tell her that the puppy was once owned by a drunk puppy buyer?

I think the writers of “Bridesmaids” and “Hangover 2” should write a screenplay about drunken puppy buyers who go to Las Vegas, try on bridemaids’ dresses, and get knocked up, all while the puppies chew their Manolos, pee on their fancy clothes, and hump funny things like the drunk guy’s head when he’s passed out.

Now that would be my kind of movie.

It might even start a cause. Like MADPB: Mothers Against Drunk Puppy Buying. Think of the gala event in Hollywood , and the stars that would come out to support it. Maybe the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will even come back. But, all kidding aside, what I would like to know *really* is who are the non-drunk puppy store buyers? Drunks are drunk and sometimes funny, but real puppy store buyers are the ones that really need their heads checked.

Don’t they know that most of pet store puppies are bought from puppy mills sold by “breeders” who don’t care a lick –not apologizing for that-- about the dogs? Or do they just live in denial? Not MY puppy. Of course not YOUR puppy. And that the health, or more likely ill-health (and sometimes a bad personality to boot) of your pup will only appear later, much later, long after your credit card has been swiped?

Why You Should Buy Your German Shepherd Puppy From A Breeder ...

Why You Should Buy Your German Shepherd Puppy From A Breeder

Many pet stores tend to get German Shepherd puppies from mills or farms. Puppy farms are places where puppies are produced in mass quantities, with almost no regard to the health of the dogs producing the puppies. German Shepherd Breeders , on the other hand, usually breed their dogs carefully, taking into consideration the bloodline of the dogs, as well as the condition of the dogs. They take very good care of the animals. Their prices may be a little higher than those of a pet store, but the puppies are in good condition and will make for great pets. If you are thinking about buying a German Shepherd puppy, you should definitely go to a qualified German Shepherd breeder instead of a pet store. It is a great option. Breeders are a good way to go when buying a pet.
