Oi... Please don't get into dog ownership costs
 Is it not better to treat them like the tanks? I prefer not thinking about how much our pets cost us - they just do - let's not try putting numbers to it  Kinda like kids - ya can't put your budget together around them, because as soon as you've done that; she goes and grows out of all her clothes overnight and mom's gotta go buy her a new wardrobe thats 3 sizes bigger before school in the morning... Although reserve slush funds are definitely handy for pets & kids... Pepper (at 14 months old) had a Fibrocartilogenous embolism back in feb - basically became a quadriplegic in a matter of 20 minutes after a minor sprain in her paw. She's mostly recovered now (still has a bit of a limp) but that was a ridiculously expensive vet bill... Yeah I'm a dummy, we're finding an insurance plan for the dogs now

Unfortunately its reality for me. I'm a contracted employee and I need to forecast up to 6 months ahead of time with my job. Normally though, we just figure out what we expect the dogs to cost us in a given month then roll with it. Sometimes (read frequently) we go over, but its all good.
I just think it would be such a shame to adopt a pet, any pet, who deserves a rich, long, and loving life, yet only be able to provide them the bare minimums like food, shelter, and a walk around the same areas. The puppy, whose name is Reese, is so adorable though. Look at that cute little face! I just want to take her out to play, then go home and snuggle with her. This is probably why my dogs are both huge sucks.

Timing for vet bills is never good. They will rupture an ACL the day the car broke down and needs several hundred bucks worth of repairs...

I can't believe it. Not ONE picture of Catherine wearing boxers in this thread. I'm so disappointed.
Er, I mean, cute puppy, look at those eyes. Sorry, I felt it was too long since I had a completely random moment. There, I feel better now. As you were ....
