I agree Lou. Some folks have no sense. I have never adopted a pet without
first being sure I could handle the vet and feeding bills. I took on 2
lovely 4foots as soon as we got stateside again and I am very happy with
them, but i expected and worked out the finances first. Especially with
Cash-pup as he had heartworms and heart damage (known in advance, he's a
1,000$ annual insurance for medical sort).

Daisy-cat? She's medically healthy but has behavioral issues and we were
the only ones to apply for her in 18 months of showing. Will not accept
another cat easily (one cat in house sort) nor kids (Charlotte is an
exception and she's 14) and cant be picked up but loves to lounge around
near you and get a belly rub. Uses the dog as a step stool to get on the
sofa (grin). She and he get along great even if she's almost half feral
acting at times.
