    I don’t even get why people buy pets. The shelter has plenty who need a good home and will love you the same.

      Because the last dog I rescued cost me $7k in vet bills and needed to be put down a month and a half later due to health issues anyway. We had him just long enough to get attached. Then i spent all night with him puking up more blood then i thought he could have in him.

      If I buy a puppy from a breeder I know it’s genetics and can make sure it doesn’t have pre existing conditions from abuse.

      Miss you Fen…
