Dog rant regarding my ex.

[Glacier]

Just ignore him. I bet he's trying to get a rise out of you! Or maybe he just doesn't get it--some people don't and never will. It's their loss. I've had several people tell me I should have put Pete(one of my cats) down and just got another orange tabby. Stuart calls Pete the world's most expensive free kitten, but he's worth every dime! So is Jimmy!

[My Peanuts]

I know, what you mean. Sylvia is purebred and we got her as a puppy (never again though, I'm all about rescuing and shelters now) and she was no where near as much as "free" Jimmy was!

My ex isn't a horrible person(he better not be or I wasted 10 years of my life on him ) and that's why it upsets me to hear him talk that way. You're right he just doesn't get it.

[Jessika]

Don't let it bother you, sounds to me like he is just doing it on purpose to make you upset! I'm sure if he were as attached to an animal as you are to your pup, he would do the exact same thing. Some people just don't understand, at all.

Maybe your ex is a little jealous of your Jimmy.
Jimmy is precious and worth whatever it may cost to keep him healthy. You and all of us know that in our hearts. To heck w/ your ex's misguided opinion!!!

[joycenalex]

your money is your business, ignore him. alex the wonder dog has seizures and over the last 9 years, i'm totally unwilling to add up how much i've spent on his care. many people have told me to put him down, blah, blah. i smile and say...my money, my business.

That's what I thought, he's jealous probably wouldn't have objected
to you spending the money on him.

[Alysser]

I'm sorry he siad that. I hate talking to people who don't understand this. It's annoys me that people don't care for animals and I can't help but get upset.

[Kfamr]

I hate when people are like this.


A got in an argument with a friend of mine the other day. He failed to understand why I spend so much money on my dogs - shampoo/conditioner, collars, their $50 food, etc. Yet he is in dept to different people.

[caseysmom]

Well you know all of us understand, like Glacier said some people don't get it and they never will.

[lute]

i'm glad he's your ex! he's probably just trying to piss you off. spending that money means you care a lot about Jimmy and there is NOTHING wrong with that. people make fun of me for how much i'm getting ready to pay for my dane puppy. they say i'm stupid and i could just get a dog for free off the street. i say i take PLENTY of dogs off the street. i also just donated a 7x13 kennel to the humane society. it's ok for me to spend a large amount of money on a dog.
