That is the absolutely cutest carrier I have ever seen! I will probably not be satisfied with another now that I have seen that one. I thought I had a few that I liked too but now... they pale in comparison. BIG SIGH!
I wonder if I could get a quilter to come up with something similar -- enough different so as not to be a copy and infringe on her art but like enough to be opulent, elegant and adorable as this one is! I might even work on crocheting one something like this -- still that would not be the same.
As far as money being no object..... I still would probably not pay $750 for a dog carrier -- instead, I would use the money to either partially pay for another yorkie or donate to a rescue! I would love to get another now but I am afraid I cannot handle more than 3 dogs at a time and still be able to spoil them as I believe they deserve. E[I]DIT: I don';t know.... if money were really no object, I might just buy that carrier -- LOL! The more I look at it, the more I want it! I knew I shouldn't come in here this close to Christmas! [/I]
I would not buy the other high priced items either. I just would not feel right paying that much for things that I know the dogs would be just as happy with a $20 dog bed. I paid $55 for 2 of their beds and that is as high as I'll go. After that, and I would think -- "If you have that much money to throw away, then you should be donating to dogs in need."
That's just me and probably because of the way I've grown up. Others who have always been rich, may think nothing of paying $750 for a dog carrier -- I mean they pay $2000 for a Louis Vuitton handbag without blinking so I guess this would not even seem unreasonable. All in your own history and how you feel about money, I guess. I don't necessarily think it is wrong for anyone who can afford to pay for those big ticket items to buy them, it is up to each person as to how they spend their own money. I would just not feel right. I think I am destined to be middle-class forever in my thinking. :)
I have to also think about all the people who think I am crazy for how much I have spent on buying my yorkies in the first place. I've had people shake their heads and look at me as if I had lost my mind. So once again, all in how you look at things. :) To me, the price of the yorkies themselves is not that much. Think of the years of love and enjoyment, and companionship they give us in return! But many do not understand that. |
