| Venting My neighbor wanted her grandchildren and daughter to meet our new little Khloe. Well I am really ticked off. First of all my neighbor's grandson asked me how much Khloe cost. Her adult daughter kept commenting on how expensive yorkies are. My neighbor commented on how much it was going to cost me with food,grooming and vets now that I have two dogs. I stated that it does not matter if a dog is a purebreed or mixed breed. All dogs cost money. I said this because they own mixed dogs that they let roam like crazy. They have no tags or collars. They don't get medical care. They don't even have a dog house. The poor dogs are actually fed corn not just corn products. We called animal control to have some of the dogs removed because they would come in my yard and bark at Kirby. I never let my pets roam because I worry about their safety. Most of the dogs were taken away by animal control. Now they only have one dog left but they dont take care of him either. It is no one's business how much I paid for Khloe or Kirby. I try to take care of my pets and my children the best that I can. I don't ask for any help taking care of any of them. My neighbor and her daughter spend money on trips and clothes .That's their choice. I felt insulted. |

| some people just have to class and they are all _ss! unfortunately the children suffer cause they grow up to be just like the adults. try to smile and remember you take very good care of your babies and who cares what they have to say.

| I think I would let neighbors like that know that they are not to visit without an invitation....and that includes their pets. They are obviously very ignorant self centered people. To even mention the cost of your pet is beyond rude. I would have told them that all creatures depend on us to take proper care of them weather they cost money or not. I doubt it would make much of an impact on those people though. |

I agree with the others, don't let these people bother you for one second. I'm not even sure I'd want people like that to "like" me.

| I Agree with Nancy. I don't have any desire to be friends with people who are bad pet owners. IMHO, How one treats children, old people, and animals is a good way to determine true character.

| Four words MIND YOUR F***n BUSINESS. As long as they are not paying your bills, or paying for your dogs... then the above applies. I am not nice when you minding my business.... |

| Sorry you have to deal with such ignorant & annoying neighbors. Don't let them get to you, if anything they are the ones in need of a reality check. Why they even have a dog in the first place is beyond me. |

| As it has been said many times: "Opinions are like a--holes. Everybody has one." Consider the source and don't think a thing more about it. |

| Grrrrr Recently I had someone ask me how much I paid for Adie. I smiled really big and said "She was a gift - I was a V E R Y good girl last year!" So what if she was a gift to myself. Another time a woman with seven kids tried to put me down by saying she didn't understand why anyone would want four dogs. I responded that I couldn't understand why someone would want seven kids! I wonder what she would say now that I have five dogs and a cat! The older I get the less I care about what comes out of my mouth! |
