Walabs.com Dead Labrador Puppy

walabs-sick-labrador-puppy

My brother bought a Labrador retriever puppy from Jim Young of Walabs in Onalaska, Washington. One week later it was dead.

The vets said the cause of the puppy’s death was likely to do with the breeding program by Jim Young, and by his own accords was underweight and not thriving.

Did Walabs.com offer an apology? A refund? No. Jim Young accused my brother and his girlfriend of doing something wrong, and was hostile. They have since received emails from other people who have bought sick puppies from Walabs’s puppy mill, unfortunately. This post is a warning to future dog lovers who may be looking into buying a puppy from this breeder.

If you have had a similar experience, please leave a comment so others can see. Thank you.

RIP Phild0g

I’m bummed out. My old friend, Phil passed away last monday and I missed the get together this last weekend because I’ve been off the social grid these past months. The above photo is probably the best picture I took in high school, and was used to create a flyer for the Rollcall parties I helped (in a small part) to throw with Phild0g. This picture was taken in the desert, a home away from home for all of us.
