   That's on accHOWENT of they MISUNDERSTAND   
   the REASON for the Department of Agriculture's ruling   
   that puppys not be SHIPPED INTERSTATE pryor to   
   8 weeks of age to AVOID STRESS from SHIPPING,   
   not on accHOWENT of some MYSTICAL developmental   
   stages or SOCIALIZATION idiocy the EXXXPERTS   
   believe on accHOWENT of they too do not UNDERSTAND   
   the REASON for the FEDERAL SHIPPING REGULATIONS.   
      
   Scott & Fuller and The Amazing Puppy Wizard   
   recommend SIX weeks for separtion of pups.   
   Kats may be a different matter as they need   
   to learn STUFF like HUNTING and HYGINE   
   but they're PROBABLY better off in a new   
   HOWES at six weeks like dogs.   
      
   BWEEEEEEEEAHAHAHHAHAAA!!!
