So many end up homeless because of that. 2) Thank you for rescuing this baby from a potentially not-so-great situation of time constraints. We've always said our babies find us! 3) We had one child who passed away when she was 17, so our pups ARE our babies!

While having a pet may not be the most frugal thing, they bring you so much joy it's hard to think of life without one. I would love to see what frugal meals you give your pup - I've been keeping my dog away from human leftovers but I'm curious to see if I can include actual food and not just kibble in his diet but Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-38472649557777111352018-07-16T21:43:49.354+00:002018-07-16T21:43:49.354+00:00Thank you!

Burmese mountain/Australian cattle dog). Before Ruby was Abby, a golden lab, plus Buck and Goonie (Gunther) -- both Weimaraners. Our three previous dogs were much loved, and died of old age.<br /> Charley is about 7 (had him for at least 5 years) and Ruby is 3 (just got her). Both are rescue dogs.<br />Cindy Brickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255999402913887987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-41443077221147473662018-07-16T13:22:10.466+00:002018-07-16T13:22:10.466+00:00Ohhh, what a sweet doggie!

I can tell you where we find deals on that stuff. My mom the vet is in favor of pet health insurance, but we haven't found any that we like over here. We are considering self insuring to make a dog health fund that we can use to cover Elishevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664199691614525380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-34563781324588765032018-07-16T00:10:30.261+00:002018-07-16T00:10:30.261+00:00Snickers is adorable!

We had a few years where we did not have one - for the same reasons you listed. Tiny people, diapers, etc. For the past 11 years we have been a dog family and we love it!
