Her breeder calls me ALL the time to thank me for taking her, that she was soo happy that her little one went to a good home. It took me some time to get the money together but I did it. But that doesn't mean that I can't afford to take care of her. I felt a little offended that some were saying that if you can't afford the price of the dog, you shouldn't own one because you can't take care of it. I have spent whatever money I have on clothes for the winter, organic food, the best shampoo's, treatments, and play toys. She gets the best of everything. If she needed care, I would sell my car to give it to her if I had to. I have an emergency credit card for her vet bills and I got health insurance for her when I got her, to be covered. Now when you buy a puppy, most of the time there is no option for a credit card, it's usually cash or money order. Coco has playdates EVERYDAY and every paycheck I get, even though I'm broke, I set aside some money to buy her something that will make her happy. Even though I'm financially strapped from my personal problems, I dont' think it makes me any less worthy to have my Coco bear or even my future 2nd dog. I know that no offense was meant, and we all have different opinions, but I just wanted to share my experience.

Bella, Coco bear is soooo lucky to have you for a mommy. You give her everything she needs and MORE. She's one the happiest little doggies I know.
