Tax puppy stores!
Cigarettes in the U.S. carry lots of additional taxes. These taxes are used offset increased health care costs. Could we pass legislation to put a steep tax on puppy stores? This tax would be distributed to the shelters and breed rescue groups that have to deal with the problem of pet overpopulation later.

It would be difficult to gain passage of such laws. There have been attempts in the past. Pennsylvania does have a state dog license program with the fees going directly to a fund to provide animal control and to fund the inspection and regulation of large dog breeders and puppy mills. I think it could be a model for other states.

That's how I did it.. with the patch. Some people smoke for the oral satisfaction.. so gum might work better for them. That worked for my son, who has quit long ago.
No gift in the world as seeing a compassion story such as this. This is what Christmas is about. Not the gifts or even the food. It is the compassion to make a difference in someones life either it be an animal or a person.
Peggy, lol. I love your attitude!
It must have been a miracle. I had a bit of extra funds left over in my yearly donation account and so my husband and I made a donation through his work, who matches his donation.

Stopped smoking 13 months ago. Used the patch for only 3 weeks. The patch..how does that make you vomit? The gum maybe. The patch is a 10 week program and it will only work if you are determined to stop.
