Yeah, that's definitely something to consider. To give you an estimate.. we spend around $40 a month on food, $20 a month on heartworm medication, and $30-40 on Frontline. Annual vet visits cost us $150 each and that doesn't account for the occasional infection or accident. Also there's bedding, toys, shampoo/conditioner, clothing...etc. When I add it all up a I get a little nauseous. Think of all the clothes and shoes I could buy!

I am also considering getting another. With regards to finances, I generally spend about R100 a month on food (wow, that is about $10!!) and about R50 on toys and the rest. I buy Cash toys regularly, but I don't buy expensive ones, mostly hooves and rawhide. His other toys last a long time, since I am sure to buy heavy-duty (he is quite the chewer).
I think this is a good time for me to get another pup since my sister (lives with me) also loves animals and when I am gone next year (just for about 6 months - 1 year), she will look after them. She is like Cash's second mother anyway - although she is more strict than I am

.
Sorry for rambling on, but I am trying to figure all of this out in my mind.
Haha, thanks for listening.
