A Reputable Breeders Poem---- You'll love your little puppy. He'll make your house a home. He'll be your very best friend, you'll never feel alone. He'll make you smile, he'll make you laugh, he'll fill your heart with love... Did he come from a breeder or fall from heaven above? If you've never been a breeder or seen life though their eyes as you hold your litle puppy, please don't critcize. You don't know of all the anguish and the times that bring such pain. When we loose the battle with a little one and the tears flow like rain. Sometimes we sit the whole night through waiting for babies to be born. Oh the stress and trepidation when they're still not here by dawn. Or the panic of holding a tiny baby in our hands who weighs but 60 grams. Do I do this instead of that or that instead of this? Alone we fight and hope we won't give him his last kiss. We'll pray he'll live to bring some joy and make a house a home. We know it's up too us and we fight this fight alone. Formula, bottles, heating pads, we have too get it right. Two hour feedings for this tiny guy though out the day and night. In our hearts we know we are probably going too lose this epic fight but we keep trying too save him because God willing we just might. Day one he's in there fighting, we say a silent prayer. Day two and three he's doing well, with lots of love and care. Day four and five.... he's still alive, our hopes soar too Heaven. Day six he slips away again, dies in our hands day seven. We take this little angel and bury him alone. With acheing heart and burning tears and an exhausted groan. We ask ourselves "Why do we do this?" Why suffer all this grief and pain? To help them live to grow up strong and see the joy your puppy brings ...this self explains. So when you think of breeders and label them with "GREED". If you have a happy and healthy puppy it's cause they filled his every need. When you hug a puppy, and with your precious dollars part, you only pay with money. We pay with a piece of our heart.
