Dad has a hard time understanding how a hoooman could do this. Neither of us want to write much more about this. I am sure Dog Dad would start using some of that colorful language he learned during his time working in the oil patch.

we saw this on the news ...it made us mad and angry and sad too. You know what makes us even madder though - it the rules and regulations they have and the hoops they make you jumps through to try and adopt. I know they have to make sure the pups are going to the right place but the process puts off many suitable people and it almost seems like the rescues don't want to give the pups up themselves!
That is just unbelievable!!! Why would anyone wanna keep that many collies? U can't properly care for them with that many.
