And I do spend a lot on them as far as vet & grooming goes, plus all the other stuff. Will definitley need to give it a day or two and some really serious thought. I really will need to stop after this one though, don't want to be know as the "Octomom" of YT!! Gonna try to post his picture......if it works, he's standing next to a 2lb. Chi.

OMG he is beautiful!!!! As for Octomom....hahaha my vet's employees nicknamed me that a while back when I did have eight. Funny stuff.

You don't!! I never heard of making hw preventatives...ever!

And honestly, IMO pups need to go to a vet for a yearly exam no matter what! The shots are not that expensive. Besides, they only need them every three years.

I keep 3,000.00 in my dog account at all times and have a credit card with 12,000.00 available credit line. I use it once a month to buy puppy pads and pay it off. BUT if my babies needed medical care they would get it as anyone who know me can attest to.

I say if you can care for them and love them and give each one special attention go for it! I work from home and my hubby is retired. I'll bet my fur kids get more of everything than lots of skin babies.

Oh I also home cook and never give store bought food or treats.
Oh one is almost blind (papillion 10 YRS old) and one has Cushings too.

I'm just thankful I don't need to start a collage fund for each of them.

hahahaha the next time my son makes fun of me for the money I spend, I am going to tell him that I don't have to worry about college for these guys!

Wow, every 3 years? In VA we have to go every year for boosters and every six months for kennel cough. You're lucky.

It is! I was only saying they are not needed every year. The recommendation now for DHPP is every three years.

We thought 2 was a lot! Then Lace kind of fell into our lap... So we have 3. We are definately not getting anymore anytime soon. I have to stay away from ads because I have almost rescued a few and my BF is the one who insists we must. ( we were able to help them find homes )

As hard as it was, I told the girl I was at my limit. I am just going to have to stay away from the ads, I just can't stand the babies needing homes. But this little guy, Micky, is very well taken care of, so I feel sure she'll see that he goes to a good home. Of course I did tell her if she had any problems placing him to let me know. Thanks for all the advice......I just had to listen to my head instead of my heart this time.
