People just don't understand until they're in the same or similar situation. I was once one of those. My sister-in-law had a couple of daschunds (RIP), and I couldn't understand how she could spend over $10,000.00 on a dog -- Well, now I definitely understand and I have told her time and time again, "Now I know exactly how you felt."
That is why YT is so GREAT -- because everyone here can relate!
