I don't ever remember saying in any of my threads that I was a perfect pet owner. I haven't ever claimed to be perfect at anything in my life.
I think I'm more sad over the fact that you think that if we can afford vet care for our pets that we think we are perfect. Money doesn't make anyone perfect.
I have a full time job but I live pay check to pay check due to my spending habits. Is this something I'm proud of? NO Is this something I'm trying to change in my life? YES Did I have to think long and hard before adding another pet into my family. YES If I have ever second guessed my decision it isn't b/c of the money issue, its b/c Kloe is such a twerp, and it feels as tho we haven't bonded. But rehoming her would be like cutting off one of my arms/legs. Just like any of my pets.
