So as some are obviously proving my point on my own thread.....rich people please....... I am more trying as has been stated above to simply to keep people from being rude to one another about this subject. Money is a touchy subject anywhere. You dont go to you neighbor and say so how much money do you have in the bank? You also shouldnt insult people because they want to spend only a certain point. Yes tell them the vet bills are expensive in emergencies but so are they with A LOT of other dogs. But dont put them down show them a way,like pet insurance, that will help them along their path of make a life better for their babies. As I have said. I live on a low budget but still have the money to spend on my babies. It is a matter of being a smart shopper. Show them where the good deals are to buy stuff. Dont just atumatically insult or be rude. That is not what YT is about and if it is it makes me not want to be a part of this community. I am a donating member and am on here everyday reading peoples posts and dont speak up very often. But seeing people being rude because people have a budget below a 1000 to buy a dog makes me want to walk away from this site. A site I have met really nice people on and got SO much knowledge from. But that is what we should be constently spreading is knowledge......not anger fustration or down right rudeness.
