		<description>At a bar, if you&#039;ve had too much to drink, they generally cut you off.

All pet shops should agree, CUT PARIS OFF.</description>

		<description>This &quot;one-upsmanship&quot; thing amongst celebrities is almost as sick as the act of promoting puppy mills by purchasing dogs from a pet shop, swanky or not.

Love isn&#039;t any bigger or better when bought from a pet shop.</description>

		<description>wonder how long before Tinkerbell or Cinderella gets knocked up by unnamed as of yet (Prince Charming perhaps?) male pooch?

Didn&#039;t one of her Chi&#039;s get too big and booted off to Mommy Hilton&#039;s?</description>

		<description>years ago I received a call from the representative of &quot;some one you&#039;ve definetly heard of&quot;. The man who called me would not disclose his employers name. They wanted a puppy. I said I would certainly refer them to a reputable source, but I wanted to know who I was referring! NO, I could not have the info. But they were a bi-coastal family. I said that I was not keen on dogs being left while people were never home or too busy and that anyone I refereede them to would certainly like to know where th dog would be in all this jetsetting, who would care for it etc..
  And of course i told him about puppy contracts, limited registration, Spay neuter agreements. He was HIGHLY OFFENDED that I or anyone I sent him to would place restrictions or terms on a puppy HIS client was buying. End of conversation.

I also love the &quot;adopted&quot; comment. What a way to try to make the purchase of a pet store puppy for several grand sound homey and innocuous. Blech.</description>

		<description>Also, what kind of screening procedure is employed by &quot;Pets of Bel Air&quot;?

Something like this:

&quot;Is your card under its credit limit?  Okay!  Here&#039;s your new puppy!&quot;</description>

		<description>Whatever happened to the last Chihuahua?

1) S/he got old?

2) S/he pooped in the house because no one trained him/her not to?

3) S/he didn&#039;t match the new carpeting?

4) S/he was no longer the &quot;Dog duJour&quot;?

5) Any of another 50,000 or so completely &quot;essential&quot; reasons a celebrity tires of a dog purchased as a fashion accessory or a toy rather than as a living being with needs, feelings, and a lifespan into the teens.

I just hate these reports . . . . . . . .</description>
