I got a lot a flack from my Co-workers about how much I spent on Lilly. I get the usual:
"That's a waste of money"
"You could get a dog for 200 dollars or less at the humane society"
or
"Wow that's cheap for a yorkie, Britney Spears got one for 3,000$ "
There is a girl at my work who just bought a iMac laptop and was talking about how her purchase was a better use of money I said to her: "Your computer will be obsolete in 3 or 4 years, where as my dog will still be with me for 15 years." That shut her up.
