Wow. I was bored this evening and newly-addicted to this forum when i did a search for "puppy mill". It's almost midnight here now, I've been so completely enthralled with your ordeal with Charlie, from your excited initial post looking for pet owning advice to your heartbreak and inspirational fight for justice.

I have protested puppy stores opening in my neighborhood and do my best to educate clients (i'm a groomer) about puppy mills. I really wish you had all of your threads posted on a blog somewhere, or better yet, printed as a small book. As is, I will be linking people to the search page that brought up your entire story.
