Well I'm sure nobody's surprised to hear that I've spent thousands on various illnesses and accidents. I guess it's different when you have no kids and the dogs fill up that space.
The hardest decision I've had to make was when my Big guy was incontinent and failing in his rear end, but he was all there upstairs. I decided it was time for him to go when one day he was drinking out of his bucket and peeing out the other end at the same time. No dignity left for him, so I said goodbye. If it was fixable, I would have fixed it. But it still hurts.
Everybody's different. I know a girl who can't wait to have a baby, she says her uterus is crying for a child. I don't think my uterus has even looked at a kid. I just don't want them.Last edited by envy_me; 08-22-2012, 02:34 AM.The heart is on the left. The blood is red.Comment

My pets come first, they are my babies. I can go hungry, but not them..."Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013Comment

I guess it's perspective... I get the connection people have with pets and I've enjoyed all the varmits I've owned and felt the loss when they pass.
I grew up in a farm environment in the 60's where we raised our own livestock... you care for them properly but there's a certain amount of detachment you have to have when Ole Shorty becomes a ribeye on the plate.
Add to that I'm a parent to 5 kids... so the 4 legged variety fall pretty low on the priority and budget allocations. Sorry if my previous comments were a bit insensitive to pet lovers."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

We have two cats. One is 11 and that's been my daughter's constant companion since she was 1. The other we just got last year because she just had to have another and this one was a kitten. We bring it home and the damn thing turned out to be so sick that it was dying. I had to syringe feed this animal every 4 hours - including in the middle of the night. That damn cat was at the vet twice a week for weeks and I spent a fortune on medicine. The vet actually suggested we put it down but I just couldn't do that to my daughter. Fucking cat chewed up two ethernet cables last week...American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

And unless she's married she's gonna be crying for some damn child support...

I've got two daughters and a pit bull. Even my oldest girl calls the dog my first born. Pets, kids, it's all the same.Comment

I also had to skip some meals time ago
Four years ago I had to cancel an anniversary trip to Las Vegas ....I rescued and helped a cat from the street, it was worthwhile. The cat survived and lives with me from then onwards.Comment

That's because you're an awesome person, one of the nicest I've met on these boards."Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013Comment
