Maybe I'm just frusterated because every other animal I have owned was NEVER this hard to acquire...I can afford to take care of an animal once I have it home. The problem is actually getting one for under $1000.00. I know yorkies are expensive as i stated earlier but honestly I can't justify spending $1000.00 on a puppy for ME when I have 2 children...Sorry that's alot of money to spend all at once on an animal that you have to take care of for the rest of it's life, with food, vet bills etc. That's my opinion. My kids come first ALWAYS. |
I've been a single parent raising two kids alone for the majority of their lives, so I get where you are coming from. But if you can't afford to drop $1,000 now, could you afford it a few months from now if you pup has an injury?
Like I said, I've been there....I'm still putting my two through college, so I'm still there
But I don't like settling for things, so I save/budget for what I want.
So if you want a yorkie...let's assume you have $500 for it right now. So, put a $100 away every month for the next 5 months (or $50 away for the next 10 months) & then get one.
