Animals

Ok, so I am a dog lover. I have a 1 1/2 year old yellow lab that I absolutely love to death. If anything was to go wrong with him, I would get it fixed, no matter the cost. Recently, I got in the conversation with a guy about dogs. He said he knew of somebody that spent $2,000 to fly his dog somewhere to get a hip replacement. He said he could not believe it and would never spend that much money on an animal. I told him that I would, because my dog is part of our family. I want to hear from you guys on this topic. How important are your animals to you? Do you consider your animals a part of your family? How much would you spend on your animal if your animal was in need of anything? I love my animals and would spend whatever I needed to to get them fixed or whatever they needed if in need.

  1. I don't have a dog so I can't really comment on what you were asking. My parents had a dog when I was born but when we moved when I was two, we gave the dog to the police academy (they had a german shepard). My boyfriend (and eventual fiance) wants to get a dog eventually, but I don't want one. It's weird because I really like dogs and I would love to have one, it's just that I'm never home right now so it would be hard to manage. Sometimes I barely have time for myself let alone time for a dog! Maybe someday when my life slows down we will get one. I figured we might get one once we have kids. The only other problem is that I'm a total neat freak so I don't know how I would do with a dog in the house!

  2. LOL! I absolutely understand not having time at home. I will tell you this much though, I had to make that decision, and I chose to get a dog. I absolutely love it. He loves us and we love him. He puts us in better moods if we have had a bad day at school. I will also tell you this, they will love you no matter what. It is a great feeling. He did start out taring things up, but I expected that because we had a friend that had a lab. He didn't tare a lot of things up though. We have a blast with him and if we had the option, we would not change a thing.
