Cox ..2 days after we took her home she became terribly ill with Kennel Cough which lasted 4 months ...Pnemonia in both lungs ....Parasites etc...... she almost died... today she is well but when she was spayed she almost died a very unhealthy dog...she's is so sweet intelligent & loving ...iI can't imagine our world without her ...so precious...The Government needs to have stricter regulations on these inhumane Puppy Mills and the breeders should be prosecuted for cruelty & neglect to animals...when a child or animal is left in a car unattended in High Heat or Extreme Cold weather they are prosecuted... so why does this Government let these Puppy Mills/Breeders get by with this inhumane money making business...also feel that these pet stores should be investigated ...we walked in didnt know anythhing about us took our $985.00 and insurance fee purchasd trough te store and out we went...unbelievable...we spent over $1500.00 in vet bills ..the insurance Company is longgg gone..we have notified board of health and Attorney General...and of course nothing has been done about it...thsi may seem low on teir list of issues but on our list it's major...it's inhumane...and a living hell for the animals and us owners....I started a Facebook page "Pennys From Heaven"- for my dog "Penny "Lapomardo...please go on and share your story..Penny is one of the luckey ones who was saved and survived....I speak for all the puppys and dogs ..we have to speak for them...Again my heartfelt symapthy goes out to you for your loss...we often wonder about the Mom & Daddy Dogs...so abused to breed over and over...INHUMANE...<br />Nancy Noel-Graves Oxford, Massachusetts 1/8/2014Nancy Noel- Gravesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029480188467651361.post-42791141698206308942013-07-05T21:53:27.844-05:002013-07-05T21:53:27.844-05:00My heart goes out to all these beautiful innocent ... My heart goes out to all these beautiful innocent puppies and their parents who are so abused , neglected and can't speak ...so we need to speak for them...We purchased a cockapoo puppy from a puppy store in Central Massachusetts in January 2012. The puppy was extremley sick 2 days after purchasing her for $900.00 . I took her to the vet and was told she had pnemonia in both lungs, kennel cough, parasites. The puppy also had hernia surgery prior to our purchase she only weighed 4 lbs. my vet could not believe they had done surgery on her weighing that little. We spent well over $1500.00 on vet bills. The insurance the puppy store sold us is no longer in business. It was a long recovery for our puppy and it makes me disgusted to read about Puppy Mill owner Lou Cox in Chillicothe, MO ...this is where our puppy was breed. Our Government needs to illegalize Puppy Mills in this country it is humane, cruel,& abusive ...we have reported the Puppy Store to the Towns Board of Health, the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General Office in which nothing has been done. It is so upsetting to think we live in a country and let this inhumanity be legal...I often wonder what the mother to our puppy looks like and has gone through having breed so many pups ...i look into my pups eyes she's so precious and sweet how could there be such cruel heartless people who can live with themselves...sadly in the end it's all about the money...not humanity...i say to myself at least i saved 1 puppy and i would not trade her for the world...

When I am ready and strong again I want to start a campaign "One puppy mill at a time - Maya's cause" and do everything I can in my power to shut Marsha Cox down. Even if it takes me the rest of my life to do so. Then after she is closed, I will move on to the next one. It's just horrible. These wonderful little creatures cant do it, so we have to.

I found out after I bought her she was delivered to the pet store very very sick. She had pneumonia and was on strong strong medicine when she was just 6 wks old. I am desparately trying to find answers on why she died so suddenly. After doing so research I believe she was born sick due to inbreeding and she came from Marsha Cox. Please beware!! You dont want to suffer the way I am. RIP Maya 10/11/07 - 6/7/11 Broken hearted Joanne, Plymouth MaJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215757282281463383noreply@blogger.com
