> Hello! I am just so excited to find this message board. I love my Pekingnese, I got her in absolutely the wrong way (pet store) but I must be incredibly lucky because she is the sweetest, most amazing little dog, I never knew I could love a dog like this. I am interested in the rescue idea - what is this all about? I would love another Peke and I know Peaches would love a buddy, she loves other dogs, kids, adults, just about everybody actually.
> PS - I have never purchased a dog at a store before and I know those of you who know anything about it are probably horrified, but it was Karma, I swear. I saw this dog "in the window", held her a little and petted her, put her back and didn't think anything of it until the next day when at was at the dentist of all places, and I had an inexplicable urge to go buy this dog. It was bizarre. So I did! And she is my best friend, my comfort, my baby! Like I said, I am so glad to have found you all so that I can learn more about her. Thanks!

I don't have any problem with the pet store source (except that you may have been grossly overcharged). It doesn't matter where you got her. The important thing is that you gave her a loving home.
