Thank you all for your responses! I am feeling better about it now. I pretty much HAD to tell my mom and dad the cost, as they are coming with me to get him if he's still available (it's a 4 hour drive one way)... and mom has a big mouth, so the whole family already knows.. BUT... I'm refusing to take any more BS from them. I work full time, pay my bills, just got signed on permanently to my DREAM job and this is my way to go gift to myself. I've worked my butt off for 2 years getting through school, and now paying off school. I deserve it. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I do gamble (haha) but funny enough in my family spending $300 in one night at a casino is ok, but spending $1100 on a dog that will love you for it's whole lifetime is not.. makes no sense.
If he is still available on Saturday, he is MINE. Only thing that would change that is if when we got there, him and Oliver fought like crazy. Can't see it as Oliver loves any and all dogs, and this dog is used to other males being around. We shall see.
I'm tentatively booking next week off work, and hoping it all works out! His name is Adonis, which apparently means god of love. Not sure if I'd keep the name or not, it sure is different!
