This picture is a little old, I kind of forgot about it until now.

Last year, my neighbor had acquired a 10 month old female maltese from a family friend.
She also has a male maltese, and planned on mating the two. I was more than unhappy, especially because she said her reasoning behind breeding puppies was that she would use the money to pay for her sons' college fees.

During the summer, the female got pregnant. She was barely even a year old. I was incredibly angry because female dogs really shouldn't be bred until at LEAST 2 years of age. I was worried the poor dog would have complications like getting sick, or even DIE during the pregnancy. Thank God everything went alright...
She ended up having four puppies, two males and two females. The woman was selling them each at $1000!!! Of course, no one would buy them (I was secretly hoping no one would buy them so my neighbor would end up wasting food/vet bills/toys on four extra mouths) until she lowered their prices to $800. I still can't believe people would buy dogs that are SO unreasonably expensive. I got both of my dogs for $60 each, and I love them to bits.

So three of them sold, and she decided to keep the biggest male. I sure hope she doesn't use him to breed with the mom, because that would be disgusting. I also hope she doesn't breed the female for another year, or I WILL do something about it. I refuse to let my neighbor turn her house into a puppymill *grumbles* And I get frustrated with all these idiots who support backyard breedings because it just seems that when people tell them that they're killing wonderful animals at rescues and shelters, it goes in one ear and straight out the other.

Anyways, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture. It shows that these puppies are living, breathing creatures who deserve to be treated so, not like manufactured stuffed toys. When will people ever understand??
