I meant to say that I wanted to have the pet deposit, cost of the dog and some general money set aside for vet visits and, if necessary, treatment for injuries/illnesses. <br /><br />Tim is firmly wedded to this idea, too. His parents put off getting their last dog looked at for months and months, as a tumor grew visibly on her head. They said they couldn't afford it. In the end, it turned out there was nothing they could have done anyway, but we didn't know that as we watched her head swell and distort. It was awful to see. <br /><br />I told him that this was why we were waiting to get a dog; this was why we needed to be out of most of our debt first. And have a little in savings.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-40790062568160842842010-01-01T17:26:27.790-08:002010-01-01T17:26:27.790-08:00In considering a dog, please consider vet bills. ...In considering a dog, please consider vet bills. If you get a puppy, you'll need 3 or 4 trips to the vet for "puppy shots". Plus the cost of getting the dog spayed or neutered. Call around to local vets/animal shelters and ask their fees. Please don't get a dog if you can't afford to provide the health care it needs and deserves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
