Whether you get the TV from wal-mart or target makes no difference if it is the same kind of TV.

Yes price makes a hell of a lot of difference. No one gets to say how much of my money I spend but me. If you let people didtate to you that's wimpy.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Right now I want a tea cup poodle. I'm not getting one at this point, we have Monster.

But I want two little tea cup poodles.

My cousin breeds them.

I know what conditions they are in. I know the dogs. I know that I will get what I pay for.

My aunt breeds Dobermans and Dalmatians. I know how well those dogs are taken care of. Beautiful dogs.

An uncle breeds horses. Big show horses. Again, well cared for animals.

You don't know what you are getting at rescues. They say tea cup but you get a 20 lb. dog. They say pure breed but you end up with a dog that looks nothing like what you want.

I would have a problem paying for something, for someone else, that I didn't agree too.

Let the ones, who did agree, pay. Leave me out of it.

But, I have a problem with others telling me what I can and can not do. IMHO, both sides are guilty on this one.

Majority rules? I thought they were all grown adults. They couldn't come to an agreement, get over it and each to his own.

You just don't adopt the dog if it's not what you want and I believe they're talking about breed rescues so it will be the breed you want.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I have two rescue dogs. Got one from the humane society. Easy peasy. No home visit even. I had to turn in my name, address, phone number, and maybe my social security number? Can't remember. And all that was for was so they could program her microchip with my information. I went and picked the dog up and she was mine. Had to take her back in two weeks for some follow up care at no cost.

The other rescue dog came from a place here in town. The big "inspection" consisted of them bringing her to our house and helping introduce her to our other dog. Nope, not all dogs look at each other and just fall in love. They stayed for about an hour and kind of got the dogs playing. Then they took a picture of all of us with the dogs for their photo album and left.

I really don't get why people hate rescue dogs so much. They are so easy to get.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

We have a rescue dog and he has worked out perfectly. Absolutely no cost to us. :)

He is a pure breed Beagle.

Husker, I do not believe for one single minute that you would be ok with someone spending your money on something you have told them you are against. You are just arguing for the sake of arguing. For some reason, you get a perverse pleasure out of it.

He does not have to take part in something he finds morally objectionable.

Fine, but then you get what you get. He can't have it both ways. if he doesn't want to pay for it--and he didn't--and the result is that family Christmas might not be so fun, well, that's on him. He can take his moral stand, and if that and a few bucks are more important than getting along with his siblings, then what are they writing in for? They made their choice. there's no magic wand the advice columnist can wave to make his sisters happy about it.

Who is pissed off? You must not be good at reading emotions. I enjoy pointing out when someone says something stupid like "it's a mistake to think husker would side with a woman"--when I am doing that very thing.

Oh, and you should keep track of what you post so that you don't say one thing at one time, and then say the exact opposite another time and look foolish--which you do.
