How our Pets mean so Much to Us!

Are you a pet owner? Have you ever spent a great deal of money on your pet? This could include the purchase of your pet, a vet bill, or toys and accessories for your pet? I always thought people were crazy to spend a ton of money on their furry little friends. But, after having a scare myself with one of my cats I can now understand why people spend so much money on their pets. They mean so much to us!

I always thought that it was crazy to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to take care of their pets. a little over a week ago I had to take one of my Cats Rocky to the vet because he was not looking or doing very well at all. When I got to the vet with Rocky the doctor said that there is a blockage in hos bladder and it is serve where it could lead to me having to put Rocky down. There were three options that I could do; I could do a minor procedure which could or could not unblock him, I could go full out have them keep him a few days to drain the bladder and run some tests which was going to cost even more, or I could do nothing at all. Well, doing nothing at all was not going to be an option. I wanted what was best for Rocky so I left him at the vet for a few days. When I went to pick him up I could not believe that I had a vet bill well over a $1,000 it was about the amount that I pay for rent! I looked down at Rocky and said, "I must really love you!"

I really do love Rocky and his sister Miley. It is crazy that I would do anything for my pets as I know any one else out there would do the same as well. We get so attached to our furry little friends that it really amazes me. No matter how much trouble that might cause and all of the things they might get into, in the end we love them as much as we love our family members. My two cats get into everything. Rocky loves to play with the toilet paper hanging up on the wall. I will go into the bathroom and the entire roll will be in shreds laying on the floor. I probably go through more toilet paper as a single guy then a family of four goes through in a month, thank you Rocky! But, there is no better feeling when I come home from a long day or night at work to open my front door and see the two of them there waiting for me. They want their attention and they want to play. I do not know about you but that it a great feeling!

Do you have a pet that you love more than anything? Tell me one thing that they do to drive you crazy? Have you spent a ridiculous amount of money on a pet before? I would love to hear why?
