Cheyanne i totally understand why you would say this, BUT i dont agree with it. I am a college student, out on my own for the first time paying rent bills ect..., and money is tight. . . but seriously, even my parents have a tight budget right now.... just because you have a tight budget doesnt mean you shouldnt own a dog. Owning a dog isnt something that "only" well off people get to do. having a dog is therapy, i was depressed after my last dog died and in that depression i gained 20 lbs

and since i have gotten toby i laugh again, im happy again. . . Im sorry about youre dog having such a costly vet bill, but some of us would put the dog down rather than pay that much money (im sorry if this seems harsh, but that is the way it is). . . granted i didnt pay a whole bunch of money for my pup, but it was enough to put be in the "financial watch it zone" for a month. I agree that there are some people that are ready and there are some people that are not, i dont think it is right for you to judge when you dont really know these people or there situation other than the fact that they are college students.
