Rose: I would love to hit the lotto one day (soon,lol) cuz I would move out into the country and buy up 100's of acres and make a shelter for the animals...not just the dogs and cats but exotic too.Google Noahs lost ark,it is a rescue in our area for exotics,good cause! My husband's guys take the dead deer they pick up off the road to them for the big cats.
I have never understood people that question how much you spend on an animal.I have no kids so I see no difference in spending the money on Damien vs. a kid.I would take my kid to get his shots,buy him toys and treats and good food for his belly.Animals have feeling too for pete's sake.My brother in law asked once (he is not an animal lover) why do you have dogs they stink..I said why do you have kids,they can get a bit smelly themselves,can't they? He just walked away,lol.
