   1 We live in such a “I want it now” society that it really doesn’t surprise me that there is “financing available” for a pet. However, I would Not finance a pet. I agree with you, if you can’t afford to buy the pet in the first place, how are you going to be able to pay for the vet bills, or the food? We had adopted a German Shepherd/Mix from the SPCA, however, she got hit by a car a few years back. When we went to the SPCA, there were so many dogs available (cats too)…all of them were just so cute, I wanted to take them all home! We ended up picking up a malnourished dog to take care of…we suspected it was an abused dog, but the SPCA said they had just found her and didn’t have any information on where she came from. She was such a good dog. After she died, we decided that we really liked the German Shepherd in her that when the time came, we would purchase an AKC registered German Shepherd puppy…we did that just a couple weeks ago.

   2 You are hilarious! I love watching you videos because you are so animated I don’t believe in financing a dog — obviously we went to the pound to get a mixed mutt Lisa B @ simply Hiss last blog post..Happy Mother’s Day! Reply to this comment.

   4 My favorite part is that it acts like a huge blog directory- a listing of hundreds of blogs I have yet to discover all in one place. Of course, it’s always fun to enter all of the giveawys too. For some reason I am not able to post on your actual blog party post… ginas last blog post..It’s time for the party… Reply to this comment.

   6 I think financing a dog is STUPID!!! I can’t believe that a pet store would even do this….I qgree with you, how are they going to handle the vet bills, food, etc if they can’t affor to “buy the dog” with cash money! Love the video!!!! Ann Gs last blog post..Mothers Day Reply to this comment.

   7 You’re too funny! Yes, financing a dog goes beyond stupid. That said, I am one of those people who applied for a credit card with a low limit, specifically to indulge my impulse buying and expensive tastes. But a pet and designer jeans aren’t the same thing.

   8 No, I don’t think you should finance a dog! I had a friend in high school, and I remember how silly I thought it was that she had a “dog payment.” (I also think it’s silly that some of those animals cost more than what I make in a month.) Yay for the new video post! Melissas last blog post..Happy Mother’s Day! Reply to this comment.

   9 Hah, you’re such a nut! I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s ridiculous to finance a dog and dare I say re-tar-did. My SIL financed her dog. I can’t remember what the breed is called. It looks like a rat on steroids to me. But it has papers and she gets to tell people it’s an $800 dog. And oh yeah, she’s re-tar-did.
