If this is a photo of Studio City in the banner up there, then it's a beautiful place. My mom was…Read More raised in Hollywood, and I grew up in Long Beach. The trees are really lush in that pic!

Born of the 4th of July and Johnny Got His Gun are definitely not movies honoring our veterans.

With all due respect, Mr. Ortiz, I'm curious about how much you sell the puppies for, do you screen…Read More the potential buyers, do you take back a dog if the buyer can no longer care for it, what happens to those dogs that are not bought?
I ask these questions because I volunteer at animal shelters and often see purebred dogs being dumped by people who say they cannot commit to the pet. In fact, a purebred Dachshund was recently dumped at the South L.A. shelter. When unwanted dogs and cats are abandoned at shelters and they become overcrowded, innocent animals are being killed to make room.
I also recently met two people who "rescued" their dogs from breeders who determined that a puppy from a litter was "not perfect" and could not be shown or used for breeding. One puppy was taken to a vet to be put down, but the vet would not do it and instead gave it to a couple he knew would care for it. The other dog was simply given away, thankfully to a person who is caring and adores the dog.
The puppies you are advertising are adorable and I hope they go to loving, responsible, committed people. I also hope you understand where I am coming from and why I urge people to adopt a pet from a shelter. I stand by the slogan "Adopt, don't shop."

great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas I…Read More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot.
I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!!
I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.
