So I'm not exactly happy with her right now. I'm a really big rescue/shelter supporter and to see her get a teacup pom is kind of sickening. Honestly if she would have bought from a breeder because of a certain reason like that she wanted to show the dog or if she was using it for herding this would be a different story.
For one having a back ground in vet I know there is no such thing as Teacup anything. They are dogs that are usually born prematurely by the breed forcing the mother to go into labor too early. They are usually very unhealthy dogs too. This is because of two reasons. One because of their size their organs usually grow too big for their tiny bodies. Two because of the premature birth some of them might not have finished developing properly.
Two there are so many dogs that are put to sleep each day because of no one wanted them. 4 out of the 5 dogs I've owned have been from a shelter directly and the last and youngest one was rescued but he was originally from a breeder.
Cena's story: My mother was a cab driver and she drove this couple to the greyhound bus station. They had a very adorable and friendly puppy with them. He was a Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu cross which is also called a Zuchon or Shihon. His name was originally Teddy The station would not allow the puppy to go on the bus. So the couple obviously not caring too much about the young creature was going to tie him to a pole and come back in the morning. My mother told them no. She told them that if they came back for him the next day they could have him, but to not let her daughter (me) get attached to the dog. They came back two weeks later and demanded their dog back. My mother told them oh no not only was I attached, my grandmother (who doesn't really like dogs) and my grandfather (who doesn't like small dogs) were all attached to this dog. She demanded they sign him over immediately. On top of this they wrote my mom a bad check so she had them on fraud too so they gave in and signed over the dog. They gave us all his paperwork and that's when we found out he was from a breeder. They had paid $1,000 for this puppy and he was elegable for being registered with the American Hybrid Association.
Three it kind of makes me sad for the dog because obviously she did not do her homework on the breed. If she would have done her homework she would have known that this dog is going to have health problems. She would have known the possible torture the mother had to go through to have this puppy. She also probably wouldn't have bought the dog.
Forth if she had done some research she would have known that shelter dogs and dogs of mixed breeds are actually healthier than pure bred dogs.
Lastly I'm very concerned that she pick the dog up from the airport. Plane rides are very stressful for animals, especially for young animals. Stress is not only bad for people but animals too. Think that puppy was alone in a crate for a very long time. Was there no way that she could have found a breeder closer to her home.
I'm honestly not sure if I want to watch her videos anymore. Mostly her reviews. I'm afraid that she hasn't done her homework on stuff she is telling us is so great.
That's just my two sense. Take it or leave it.
So I'm just a typical girl who has an addiction to makeup and math. On my blog I will be reviewing various products and just talking about weekly to daily life.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
So this is how I'm going to do book reviews. I'm going to stop just before the last forth of the book because I don't want to give away the ending. For tv shows and movies I believe those are all up for spoilers, but books there's so much detail that you really need to read it for the full effect.
So I'm going to copy and paste the synopsis straight from Barnes & Noble online:
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
So the over all first look of the book is very interesting. The girl on the front of the book is very pretty and how innocent she looks is perfect. I got the hard cover that has added bonus material. The back is very dark. It's an amazing contrast from the front. I also love the quote on the back,
"You can't stop the future
You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play."
It's amazingly deep and it's so true.
So overall it's really interesting. I love how honest Hannah is on the tapes. The chapters aren't actually called chapters. They're whatever tape Clay is listening to at the time. I would really suggest getting the hardcover with added material because even though it's a little more expensive it's more interactive. On the back of the jacket it has a map of the town that Hannah refers to in the tapes. I can tell you they really want you to keep reading because you don't really want to stop until you've heard Clay's story and I just finished the 8th story and it still haven't heard his so I'm hoping it comes soon.
I would like to say I bought this at my local barnes & noble, my grandma paid anything to get me away from anything bad right. I could have paid for it because I do work but we were there as a family. I am not getting paid to review this book although it would be nice. Also I'm not telling you that you're going to love this book. You may have different tastes than I do. Just because I love something doesn't mean you are.
