Hot take: If you bought a puppy off a website and had to drive to PA to get it, you funded a puppy mill.

Yes. Even if:
• the puppy is “perfect”
• the breeder was “nice”
• the website looked “professional”
• your cousin’s friend swore they were legit

You didn’t find a breeder.
You shopped a puppy catalog.

If puppies are:
✔️ always available
✔️ listed by breed, color, and age
✔️ ready right now
✔️ purchasable without an interview
✔️ picked up at a neutral location or “farm”

That’s not a breeder.
That’s a broker.

Brokers exist for one reason:
To keep you from seeing the mills.

“But my dog is healthy!”
Congrats. You got lucky.
A functioning product doesn’t mean ethical production.

And no, driving across state lines doesn’t magically make it better.
PA just happens to be very good at turning suffering into inventory.

Ethical breeders don’t:
🚫 sell puppies like concert tickets
🚫 have 10+ breeds available
🚫 let you choose based on “aesthetic vibes”
🚫 disappear once the check clears

They DO:
✔️ make you wait
✔️ ask invasive questions
✔️ tell you no
✔️ stay involved for the dog’s entire life

If speed, convenience, and “I wanted this exact look” mattered more than welfare—own that choice.
Just don’t pretend it was responsible.

And before the comment section explodes:
This isn’t about attacking people who didn’t know.

It’s about people who still defend it once they do.

If this post made you mad, you’re probably part of the problem.

Go ahead—argue or try to defend yourself in the comments.
Every comment boosts reach, and the animals appreciate your sacrifice 💅🐶🔥

The cats thought it was their training session too 😂

Even though I’ve been really slacking this week because I’ve been sick, Chopper is doing great at :
Sit, wait, stay, leave it and come but still working on other things

I like to do 5 to 10 mini sessions a day instead of big blocks of time.
It helps them to maintain focus and stop them from getting frustrated. 

Cy is a great mentor and it’s always helpful to have an older, experienced dog around during the training sessions to help show the puppy what to do.
But it’s also very important to give the puppy one on one training sessions as well. 

Wait, stay and leave it are all different commands in our house and I personally think it’s important to learn all three.

Wait - means that you will be able to get something just not yet
^ think about like when you’re putting the bowl of food down for dinner time and you want him to sit nicely and wait patiently until you give him the release command that it’s ok to eat


Stay - means I’m going to walk away and I want you to stay where you are.
Or wherever the dog is right now is where you want them to continue to stay put at.
^ This is great for when you have to open up your front door and you don’t want the dog bolting out

Leave it - means that you’re not allowed to have that item at all
^ this is for when you’re walking your dog and they see something tasty on the sidewalk they want to eat… you give them the leave it command and they know they have no chance and to just walk away.  It’s also good for if you accidentally drop something in the kitchen and you don’t want them eating it. 

I also like “back” for when I need the dog to back up and “watch out” for when I need the dogs to get out of my way. Cy is a master at those!

I think it’s important to use hand signals whenever I use the voice command because it’s nice to be able to talk to your dog without using your voice

Anyway, enjoy the good boys and Crystal ❣️

🐢 Why Your Favorite Animal Is Trash: Tortoise Edition 🗑️

• They will outlive you.
Congrats, you’ve adopted a generational heirloom. Put them in your will. Twice.

• Some get HUGE.
Imagine a dog igloo filled with concrete… but sentient… and deeply uninterested in personal space or consent.

• The appetite is unhinged.
Leafy greens by the wheelbarrow. You may need a second job. Or a very generous produce guy.

• P**p machines.
I’m talking shockingly large p**ps. The math does not add up, and yet… here we are.

• Incredibly smart… and also extremely dumb. 🤔
Can recognize their keeper. Will also confidently walk straight into a wall. Repeatedly.

• Males will hump EVERYTHING.
Shoes. Food bowls. Rocks. Their own p**p.
Sir. Please calm down. There is no romance here. 😂

• Some of the big ones are DESTRUCTIVE.
I’m talking bulldozing through walls, under foundations, and straight through your hopes and dreams.
And no—they are NOT slow about it.

• Anatomy facts no one asked for.
Since y’all loved the duck situation—tortoise anatomy looks like a terrifying purple UFO. Google at your own risk. I warned you.

⸻

BUT
How incredible is it to have a friend that can literally grow old with you?
A slow, stubborn, ancient little tank that loves back scratches.
And honestly?
Same. 💚

* clears throat *

Unpopular opinion, but it needs to be said…

If your “rescue” always has puppies,
always has doodles/designer mixes,
and charges $700–$900 adoption fees…

That’s not rescue.
That’s retail with a halo.

Real rescues aren’t swimming in cute, highly adoptable puppies 24/7.
They’re drowning in medical cases, seniors, behavior dogs, and animals nobody wants because they’re not trendy.

Rescue is ugly.
Rescue is expensive.
Rescue is saying yes when it makes no financial sense.

If you’ve got a constant supply of marketable dogs and a price tag that rivals a breeder, people are allowed to ask questions—especially when a 501c3 is involved.

And before anyone starts screaming “jealousy”:
No.
I’m tired of watching compassion get monetized while the hard cases rot in shelters.

If this post hit a nerve… good.

Unpopular opinion (but I’m right):

Professional athletes, actors, and musicians are absurdly overpaid and it’s embarrassing how emotionally attached people get to them.

They don’t know you.
They don’t care about you.
And they’d step over you in a parking lot without noticing.

Meanwhile the people actually holding society together are broke and burned out.

We’ve got teachers buying their own supplies, EMTs working double shifts, and animal shelters scraping by… but someone throws a ball good or sings pretty and gets millions?

Make it make sense

Neither Joe or I watch professional sports because it’s gross the amount of money these guys make for throwing a ball

And if you’re one of the ones that pays $$$$$ for all the clothing with a logo on it, or an Eagles salt and pepper shaker, you’re the problem

Editing to add because I don’t think it came across how I was intending:

I don’t care if you like sports, music or movies.

My thought processes is: the amount of money that people throw into these things would be much better spent elsewhere.

To me, all the money that people are throwing at these “idols” would be much better spent supporting things that actually matter to our communitie’s well-being and betterment.

You’re not a bad person if you like sports, movies or music… but to spend $500 on a ticket to go see these people, paying $22 for a slice of pizza at the venue, paying $200 for a T-shirt with a logo on it… those are the things that I think are an issue.
If yall boycotted for a year, maybe they would dial back the price gouging 🤔

Not gonna lie—posts that spark a lot of comments (especially the messy ones) are what Facebook seems to love when it comes to raising funds. But whew… keeping up with trolls is work 😮‍💨

It’s honestly wild how bold some people get behind a keyboard. The amount of unnecessary nastiness out there is… a lot.

At the end of the day, I’m here to share my critters and promote love and understanding—not just for animals, but for people too 🌎

At the beginning of December, I said we’d focus on raising funds through Facebook monetization while the bonuses were active. The final numbers aren’t in yet, but I can say we did incredibly well. Most of that is thanks to our amazing, supportive followers—but yes, a chunk of it came from people who showed up just to argue.

So… silver lining? Your chaos helped feed the animals 😅

I’ve got about three more days of fundraising push left, then I’m taking a little breather and returning to our regularly scheduled critter content 😉

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, commented kindly, shared posts, and stuck with us this month—you truly make this community what it is 🏆

And to all the new faces: welcome! I hope you’re as excited for educational animal posts as you were for the drama 😂

Can’t wait to share our finalized December totals once they’re in!

PS: Echo says hi 🩵

I dropped my soup lid on the floor this morning. Chopper ran over to investigate and I yelled “No soup for you!” instead of the usual “leave it” 😂

Then I spent the next 2 minutes cracking up and also hacking up a lung from laughing so hard at myself

And then we spent a few mins on the leave it command. I think the dog believes I lost my mind.
He wouldn’t be wrong…

The eye boogie looking like a tear really makes photo so much better 😂

Who gets the No Soup reference?
