The kitty that falls asleep on your pillow purring every night -- is she worth just the $30 you paid for her at the shelter? Or your loyal dog, who you walk with every day -- what, $150? That's the value that showed up on your credit card -- but is their real value about more than the pricetag? In a court of law, that might not be the case.

You should see some of the pets that are brought there to be blessed.
One year a kid brought a fish bowl with two goldfish in them. Another brought in a big old bullfrog he had caught and was going to use in a 4-H frog jumpin' contest.
My nephew who is too young for the responsibility of a dog yet brought his stuffed puppy dog toy. The priest did not hesitate in the least and blessed both "barney" and Billy Tyler.
It all depends on how you react to authority figures.
“Dogs have masters...
cats have staff.”
You could call it “Death under a Citrus Peal”. It would sell millions.
Yes, some love their pets more than others do.
“I know, its just a cat, but he is my cat.”
You are lucky. I paid around $4,000 two years ago for a series of procedures and surgery to rid my chihuahua of a persistent ear infection.
Recently, it turns out he has a collapsed trachea for which I’ve paid around $500. The surgery, which will not cure it [it is not cuable] would be roughly $2,500.
[draws Kimber] Step away from my cats. They’re not for sale at any price. You can buy “love,” but you can’t buy love.
“Patsy is priceless.”
What a beauty...looks like our Lab...how old is she?
Hey Rintense, check out this Belgian:

His owner is the most talented photographer, and she’s got many incredible shots of this magnificent beast (c;
Four grand, not including several more in maintenance.
And a lot more in maintenance for anyone who harms them.
...depends upon how much it weighs.
I believe cat is now like $11.95/pound at the deli
market value and all that...
Sorry for your loss, but glad you’ve found a new friend.
Awww, it’s Sawmill...I mean Samir. That’s a pretty kitty.
Priceless my four kitties!!!!=^..^=
Well that was graphic! ....but its more likely that dog has impacted anal glands than worms.
Nobody in here will believe what I am paying today to have surgery for my one cat. I need my head examined. But you get nickeled and dimed to death and then halfway through..>WHAM>....comes the big one. It all adds up. How can you say NO let her die??? I’m so sick.
All dogs have worms, don’t kid yourself, that’s why you deworm them every 6 months or should be. The CDC published a study stating that more than 1 out of 10 pet owners are infected with worms, in fact, the number is very much higher ...
My friend was all set to move into another (smaller) apartment in the same complex that she has lived in for the past eighteen years. Since she moved in in 1991 a "no pet" policy was introduced about a year ago. She was led to believe that her two cats would be "grandfathered in" but...no..the management has decided that she cannot take them with her when she moves.
Outcome...she will not move without them.
