Since I was unlucky enough to end up at a "PUPPY MILL" again this year, my nightmares about little "PEPSI" from the past have returned. To walk into a place where the dogs are kept locked in cages to small for them..................living in their own urine and feces.........................the deplorable conditions...............God, what can I say?
So please read Pepsi's story. Please say a Prayer for not just Pepsi but all dogs living in such a place. For all dogs with pleading eyes asking us humans for a bit of sympathy, a bit of love, a bit of real care. Say a Prayer For all dogs everywhere who need our help.

Pepsi

I look Happy in this picture, don't I? I should!!! It was taken in the only time I was ever groomed, really loved, and cared for.......................  I REMEMBER.........................

And I was happy for that short time because the lady who Rescued me worked on making me Like Humans, worked on my House Training, made sure I was Neutered, did everything she could?

She raises dogs but her dogs know LOVE from the minute they are born.................you see, I didn't!!! I only knew my Mom and us kids being locked in a small, filthy area. That all to soon I was taken from my Mom and thrown into another small kennel with older, adult males that didn't like me......................... They beat up on me a lot and I lost what shred of confidence I might have ever had.......................I guess I was CUTE so the person who owned me in her Puppy Mill kept me back so I could be a father too...................................

I guess I wasn't a very good Father..................because I was soon advertised for sale as "WONDERFUL, GREAT, SUPERB, and CHEAP.........................

Then this wonderful lady who not only raises dogs paid the price for me, she set out to find me a good home............She loves dogs, you can tell just by looking into her "Eyes".

And I liked her so much that I quit peeing in the house, I came to her with wagging tail when she called me..............called me.....................yes, she gave me a name and I learned it..........and I came running to her........................... I never understood having a NAME before.

And the first people who promised me a great and loving home dumped me after less than a week.......................they refused to understand that I was just scared of them and not purposely being bad......... they were pretty mean to me, almost like being in my first home where I was born...................

And the great lady took me back again and worked with me some more. And I listened and did everything correct........................

The second home she gave me was a good home, not like the first....................but the husband could not understand my FEARS and wanted me gone because I would pee myself every time he came near me..................... I liked the lady though and didn't pee in fear with her???

And the kind lady took me back again..............

And the third home that was promised to be a Good and Loving FOREVER Home for me............well, they Euthanized me today..................................I wanted them to tell the kind lady with all the other dogs to take me back......................but instead.............they got rid of me permanently........I DIED TODAY...................................... Please People, remember me, my name was:

PEPSI

I gave you the name Pepsi
And I will never forget you
I hear you, Loud and Clear, my little friend
I would have taken you back again
They never asked me........................

Who one to many times has seen the Horrors of not only PHYSICAL NEGLECT but MENTAL ABUSE in these dogs locked up in pens/kennels/crates..............

Dogs can be raised HUMANELY
STAMP OUT INHUMANE, UNCARING
PUPPY MILLS AND BACKYARD BREEDERS.
You know the ones..........................
Locked up in kennels
No gentle touch
No lap to lie on
No kind hand stroking their bodies
FORGOTTEN
in some confined space
Never held and played with
Never house trained
Never even knowing they have a name
never running FREE
They don't know what freedom is
Killed or dumped when they can no longer have puppies.
SAD isn't it???
