Don't let someone tell you that you can't do something. I wasn't working when I got my yorkie and was going to school full time. I had enough in my savings that I could afford to buy the dog and all of the extra expenses that come with having a dog. Mr. Biggs has gotten 110% of my time and attention from day 1 and has every poccible luxury a dog can have. I currently work at a daycare and am still in school. Sure they take up a lot of my time, but my dog gets a ton of attention! The way I see it, it's like having a kid. People that work and go to school have kids all the time and still are able to give their kids the attention they need, so if they can do that, then I can do the same with a dog (at least dogs are cheaper). lol. I did it, I'm happy, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Good luck! |
