Well my fiance and I were walking into wal mart yesterday morning to get some stuff, and there was a guy with a sign that said "Christmas puppies for sale" so of course I stop to look… he had a cart full of 8 tan and white puppies that can’t be older than 5 weeks old even though he said 8 weeks. i went inside to do my shopping and when I came back out he was down to 5… of course I took one.
the puppy is adorable, he eats dry puppy chow fine, but cries A LOT.. I just gave him a bowl of warm milk and he lapped it up vigorously and is now sound asleep doing the little puppy grunting.
he walks, but wobbles as he wags his little tail.
The guy said he is a lab mix, but he looks like a pit puppy to me.. at least 80 percent pit. I gave the guy for him, he had 4 others when i left, i wish i could have taken them All. I am hoping they all got good homes, when i took mine, there was a crowd of about 20 people around him and the cart.
This guy was a scum bag ghetto thug just wanting money.. i couldn’t walk away without helping 1 of them.. he had them in a shopping cart with a blanket in with them… they were all huddled up together and kids/adults were poking and prodding at them, grabbing them up and putting them down like they were stuffed animals on a display shelf.
SO, I do not have the money to go and buy this puppy the puppy milk and bottles. I am caring for 5 other dogs and 5 cats. I just have a huge heart and couldn’t leave wal mart yesterday without helping at least 1 of these puppies.
What should I do??.. he seems to be doing ok.. he sleeps/eats/plays/poops/and pees just fine. I have him in a puppy bed which is inside a rectangular laundry basket with a big stuffed teddy bear,a heating pad on low, and a blanket. He slept in it last night all night and got up at 5am to eat/potty.
am i doing ok??.. I am wanting to keep him as does my fiance.. he is a little fighter and just the cutest thing.
Here is a photo of him..

thanks.
and for everyone telling me to give him to a shelter or rescue, no i will not. He is better off with me than in a kennel all day where he could wind up dead.
I am home all day everyday and he will be with me at all times, i have a lot of time on my hands to care for him.
Animal hoarder?? I think not, but nice try.
Animal hoarders DO NOT take care of their pets and live in squaler conditions.
I DID live in an RV but as i stated then, it was TEMPORAIRY. I am now in a huge 4 bedroom home with basement, and HUGE fenced in backyard.. so shush!
I also have cash in my wallet, and 2 credit/bank cards as well if you MUST know.
I have christmas shopping to do for a family of 7! also more pets to care for!.. I will PROBABLY go ahead and buy the puppy milk replacer since he seems to need it and i do know that cows milk isn’t the greatest, but in a pinch its NOT going to KILL him to have a couple bowls of it.
A lot of you are dense and down right RUDE and think you are much wiser and better than everyone else…NEWSFLASH: You aren’t and you definetly aren’t perfect or gods gift to the animal world.
