I know I'm going to sound like a spoiled brat, but here it goes. We set aside money for Gizmo as well as get doggy insurance on him (thank goodness) I also have a credit card that has a low interest rate with a current zero balance that I call my "just in case" card.
With that being said, and here comes the spoiled brat part, I know my family would help with Gizmo if anything ever happened that was catastrophic. With that being said, my husband and I too would drop anything to help out with my mom's or brother's dog as well. I guess we all created a little support system for our pets.
I think many times people pick out a pet for a quick fix, and don't really think about it long term. |
