Some woman is on the dole and she has THREE PETS and now I am suppose to feel sorry for her because she has trouble feeding them. Sorry but no sympathy here. How about a food stamp program for pets for people such as this woman!!!
My kids are clamoring for a dog. Besides the fact I would get stuck walking it I ran the calculations and concluded the cost of feeding it, trips to the vet, etc it would not be worth it.
I have no sympathy for the owner of multiple pets either. One should be more than enough.
I got a dog from a shelter two months ago — seemed nice enough. Now — whoa! Big behavioral problems surfacing and if I don’t want to get sued next time she nips at some kid, I’d better get a trainer. Let’s see, already spent well over $1K on adoption, vet bills, meds, food, toys, crate, DNA test, you name it.
I’m unsure whether to continue or cut my losses and say that’s it, turn the dog back to a “rescue.” And I can afford to pay for all of this, I just didn’t anticipate the monetary costs beforehand! If one can’t afford it, it should be a no-brainer. No money, no pets.
