I had my house on the market with a local real estate agent before I had even considered it as a career. This was my first home and was very proud it. One day, my agent told me that we had a showing scheduled for 4pm, but I told her that I would be getting home about that time to let my puppy out after a long day inside while I was at work. Well, I got home at regular time and rushed trying to let the puppy out, and trying to staighten things up before my agent and the young lady arrived. Sure enough, no sooner did I take the puppy outside here comes my agent with the young lady and her family. I said hello to everyone and stayed outside to let everyone feel comfortable about looking around. As the showing concluded, my agent said to come on in even though the young lady and her family was still inside. I walked inside with the puppy by my side and right away the puppy started to jump on everyone as any excited puppy would do, so I leaned down to pick the little puppy up, and just then looked up to actually see the young lady for the first time close up. WOW, this was the most beautiful woman that I had ever set my eyes on before. It was just like one of those fairy tale stories that you hear about as a kid, only better, it was happening to me. Once the young lady and her family left, it was just my agentand I, I asked her what her name was and if she could tell me anything more about her. She told me that she was a couple years older than me, was a firefighter, and was looking for her first home. A day went by before I heard anything about the showing and the amazing woman that came to see it. I recieved the call from my agent saying that we had an offer, and the beautiful woman wanted to know if I would be able to come with the house! Needless to say, I did sale the house to that amazingly, beautiful woman that eventually became my wife and we are still in that house in Greenfield still today. We have 3 kids and have tripled the size of the home we met in to be able to fit everyone including the pets. It was because of that little house in Greenfield Indiana that everything that I have ever wanted in life came true, and I am so furtunate that God has truly blessed my, I meant our house!

As many of you know, I am passionate about animal rights, and I am involved in numerous programs. One near and dear to my heart is the fight against puppy mills. Over the last couple of years, I have been surprised by the amount of individuals who simply have never heard of this term. In fact, my own husband didn't know what it was until my quest began.

With that in mind, please read below to become a bit more educated on the topic. Also, please go to http://www.nowisconsinpuppymills.com or http://husu.org for more information. Or, email me! I would be more than happy to chat with you. Please, do not purchase your pet through a breeder or pet store. Instead, adopt from your local animal shelter. Also, look for future puppy mill posts from me in the future. Together, we can make a difference!

Nervous dogs from a "kennel liquidation" sit in wire cages, waiting for their turn to be be sold at auction. They haven't known anything but such cages their entire lives, and likely never will. They will never have a chance to run in the grass or play or enjoy the company of the humans their puppies are being produced to please.

BUT THAT'S OK, says the largest breeder in Wisconsin, because dogs don't miss what they don 't know. "These dogs all have their little dog family, their pack, in that pen. . .That 's all they know and they like it there. Dogs, if they 're always raised with dogs, they don 't want to fool with people. These dogs enjoy their life the way it is."

IS THAT OK WITH YOU?

IT'S NOT OK WITH US!

A Puppy/Pet Mill Is (short version):

Anyplace that animals are kept in cramped cages or pens like chickens, and/or forced to endure physical abuse in many forms, poor food and not enough of it, filthy conditions, constant breeding, little attention - conditions that, as the old saying goes, "you wouldn't keep a dog in" - so that their owner can make more money from them, is a MILL.

Doesn't make any difference whether there is one breeding female or 1,000; whether the animals are dogs, or cats, birds, hamsters, lizards, or guinea pigs; if their sole purpose is to make money for their owners and their treatment isn't up to even the barest standards of common-sense decency, it's a MILL.

And, as always, if you need real estate assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at kjohnston@remax.net. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the purchase or sale of your next home!
