<DIV>It is amazing that so much energy and effort has been made of one line to
Town Talk on Wednesday:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The good news is that Dan, of Old Town Pets in beautiful downtown
Riverdale Park, does have puppies coming in today. Pet 'em,' pick 'em, buy'
em, love 'em. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In retrothink, I wonder if such compassion and emotion were invested in
say, humans, that WRC-TV/4's Barbara Harrison would not have to offer up
children for adoption -- "Wednesday's Child" -- as she does on Sunday mornings
and Wednesday evenings. Those "pets" need good, loving homes too and I
wonder if there is as much thought and emotion expended on them as there was
in this space. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just my observation...</DIV>

<DIV>I'm glad to hear that the pups and kittens are mostly rescues or
incidentals. It's not a real surprise because you usually have to
"order in bulk" from brokers/puppy dealers. If anyone is familiar
with Just Puppies in Laurel, they receive their puppy deliveries out of
the back of 18-wheeler tractor trailers and crates of 6, 7 and 8 week old
babies are off loaded just like cases of groceries. It's a seedy
business IMHO.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To contrast, Dan is indeed providing a community service of
sorts. I just hope those animals are winding up in a good
place. But as a retailer, and as a animal business permitted by
the county, it is actually his legally regulated responsibility to ensure
the constant good health of the animals in his care, especially the puppies
and kittens, and there are pages and pages of county code devoted to
retail pet establishments and those requirements. I have no doubt that
Dan would choose to anyway, but he is required to by law to be a good
caretaker of his animals.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial>Thanks for the
info on Dan and the puppies; I know the<BR>animals I've seen in his shop
have appeared healthy<BR>and happy; I DIDN'T know he was doing all of
that<BR>extra work to make sure that they remained that way. <BR>Nice to
hear! <BR></DIV></FONT></DIV>
