Everyone- please just ignore pickle. I suspect this thread will be closed very soon, anyway, since the original topic has been touched apon already.

Pickle has shown countless times in this thread that she simply has not yet had the time to live life and experience the twists and turns life can bring. That is youth. I am by no means trying to suggest I have either.

She has never re-homed an animal. What happens if an unavoidable, unsuspected event happens? Say you have a dog who you love and care for, and your income covers his needs, such as any medication, medical bills, feed, toys, etc. Suddenly a reccesion causes your employer to let several employees go because they can no longer afford to pay them, and you are one. All of a sudden, your income goes from adequate to not enough to even cover rent and you have to move in with a friend. Say your dog has a condition that causes him to need meds, meds which you no longer can afford. Do you keep him off his meds or do you find him a proper, loving home with a person who can afford his medication and all other needs he may have?

Get my point?
