I do see everyone's point about the $ situation going down hill fast, but also see a very materialistic society these days. Their priorities are mixed up and although may say they don't have $$ for a vet, they have a fantastic wardrobe. My point is that bringing a dog into the home is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. They totally depend on us to care for them. We should not let them down when they have a medical emergency, by seeking "free online ER advice" when we should be taking them to the Vet.
Yes, most everyone has a credit card. Perhaps that's what I'm saying....if you don't you shouldn't have a dog. |
Excuse me??? I TOTALLY disagree with the remark that you made: "Yes, most everyone has a credit card. Perhaps that what I'm saying.... if you don't you shouldn't have a dog."
That is the most REDICULOUS thing I've ever heard in my life!! I know MANY people who do not have credit cards, myself included and their furkids are very well cared for and loved. I cannot believe we live in a society where a person would think such a thing! My Grandparents were old school, they had many pets throughout their life and they didn't have a credit card, but you can bet your life they took care of those furkids WITHOUT a credit card and they were loved more than I can even say. That remark is just a total disgrace to those not CHOOSING to have a credit card or those not well off enough to have one! It's a shame when one thinks if they don't have a little plastic card to carry around in their wallet or purse then they shouldn't have a furkid....
