My parents only paid $400 for my yorkie Lacey back in 1992. Yorkies were not quite as popular back then and things were cheaper. And my parents bought her at a pet store. We did know anything about puppy mills back then and the warning not to buy from a pet store. But, we got lucky with Lacey. She rarely got sick. She was just a normal, beautiful, healthy dog. Until she got kidney failure at the age of 13, she never really had to go to the vet other than her shots. She had recurrent ear infections, but that is common. We always took her to vet to get drops and she was better. |
