Thank you all for those comments! I thought they were being a bit over the top. As for finances well I'm in the United Kingdom (born American move here 10 years ago) and here the company is required by law to give you a redundancy package (nice lump sum). Plus we have Pet insurance, don't remember that being in the United States so if there is such a thing there sorry for being silly! My husband is working and as we have a very small mortgage it wont be an issue vet wise (money). I already have a vet who I think is great he helped my chickens and it is an office open 24/7 which in England is a big deal (smile).
Since reading so much on this site I thought that I had better be home for the first months of the puppy coming to me (yes I would insist that I wouldn't bring her home until she was 12 weeks or more) due to possible medical issues. I am going to purchase from a reputable breeder so hopefully I will safe guard as much as possible. Thanks to this website and lovely people I feel that I am a bit more prepared and will know most of the pitfalls of getting the puppy. I just am trying to research and make sure that I will be a great fur mommy
