  And?  Sorry, but $1000 is $1000, no matter how you look at it.  If that is the case, then I could just as easily say, but the $1000 price of a dog is just a one time payment and it would make just as much sense.  If the difference is paying it at once vs paying it out over a period of time,  then they should have no problem saving up $1000 over the course of a year to buy the dog in the first place.
Does that make sense?  If the logic is, "oh I can afford the bills b/c they are not all at one time" then why can that money not be saved a little at a time until you can afford the dog vs expecting a handout or discount?
