So just because I can't afford to spend alot on a dog doesn't mean I can't or won't seek medical attention when needed!!!!! I would love to have a puppy but just can't afford to buy one that is that expensive. Yes my dogs eat well I make their treats and most of their food in my own kitchen, I spend money buying clothes, beds, toys etc. I hope some day for the Yorkie Fairy to bring me a puppy but until then I have Wriddle who needed me and loves me not because I spent alot of money on buying him but because I am here to love him and make sure he is safe and healthy! Ok, bash me...I got my big girl panties on. |
I do agree. My parents live on a very low income.. though they don't have much overhead, they would never be able to afford even $300 for a yorkie. However, the two dogs they have right now are treated like royalty. They have their shots, they have been fixed.. They are their "children". It is easier to come up with the yearly shot money and food than a price of $600 and up for a dog. I think we also have to remember, not everyone dresses their yorkies or keeps their hair in topknots...which is a bigger chunk of change to maintain.
