OK!!! and you are WHO??????? Obviously You would think someone
that works at Petsmart LOL
I don't care why they are in business, when it comes to a
LIFE!!! They need to do it more professionally, and caring for
the animals they are trying to SELL!!
And, if you would have read the ladies post, she said she was
removing her business!!!!!!
So, why not leave the sarcasm behind!
