I feel a little better after reading this thread...we got Sadie at a pet store (I know, I know....), for $1500, and ever since, even know I know she is SOOO worth it, I have had a hard time accepting that we spent so much.... I'm a tightwad, what can I say?!
But I'd pay all that and then some for another one.....everyone is right, they are worth it a million times over.
(But if anyone asks, we divide the price in half. LOL)
