Marsha, I'm so glad you said something to him! That is horrible!
Poor little pups. Fifi is a healthy 4 lbs, lays by the radiator
(German houses don't have central heat and ac) and still shivers.
That man could have at least had the decentcy to put a sweater on
those babies. ARGH! ~Lacey

only 12 by the way!) to take the ACT test in a town about an hour
drive from home. Since the test lasted 4 hours, I was hanging in
that town, trying to kill time, so I went to the flea market. This
flea market always has a lot of people selling dogs and other
animals. Normally, I like to walk by and look at all the cute
puppies (of course, I would never buy one from a flea market!)
