If they want to put material things before living things, that's their decision. However, I don't thing they should own animals with such a mindset and it doesn't phase me what they thing about my vet bills - because their priorities are not what I'd consider acceptable for me. |
I have probably spent close to AU$ 16,000 on my baby so far. And when I told a friend (owned by a Westhighland Terrier), he said, that he would spend that and even more if necessary! Neither of us are well-off financially. Both of us agreed that money does not necessarily make us happy, but our 'babies' DO...
