Here’s my pound puppy. The only animal we’ve actually chose delibrately. We usually wind up with others peoples castoff pets and strays. My vet says I have the hobo cat stamp on my door. It’s nice to see you giving the adoption of pet the careful consideration it deserves.
At one time we actually had 11 rabbits. All of them given to me by people who didn’t want them anymore. People actually had the nerve to ask me “What’s one more?” when I started turning them down. So I said “Fine, how about I give you one?”
Vet bills can be expensive and even if your dog is relatively healthy stuff happens. My dog split his paw pad on the chain link fence and needed stitches. Like I said stuff happens and when it does it’s usually $200 to $300.
