Raising money to keep the pug alive. The owner is over $26,000 in debt for the dog.


My mommy says I'm worth it. =)

omg his tongue is always sticking out.



how cute!

6/22/2011 1:09:44 PM

I bet that thing gets dry like whoa

jesus christ

6/22/2011 1:11:18 PM

let it die and let the owners wallow in debt knowing it was stupid to spend that much money on a damn dog

i love my dogs very much, but anything over $1000 will require some serious debate (and be very dependent on their age and expected quality of life afterward)...not too far past $1000 is the point where i'll put them to sleep

[Edited on June 22, 2011 at 1:12 PM. Reason : easy to say since i'm not in that position, true, but $26k is rediculous]

6/22/2011 1:11:27 PM

I understand the love of a pet and probably would pay more than people would think is reasonable (^like something around $1000 or so)

but over $26,000?

you must be out of your god damn mind

6/22/2011 1:14:34 PM

yeah 26k is excessive....


however i did spend 1900 on carterpoo



im happy i did...shes kickin now !

twice reasonable is still kind of reasonable

26x reasonable... that's not very reasonable at all

6/22/2011 1:18:19 PM

I could never spend that much on our dog and I absolutely love our pug to pieces.

6/22/2011 1:18:53 PM

^^ exactly...i'm sure that if the situation arises (heaven forbid!), i'll go beyond my "reasonable maximum"...but $26k...jeebus

[Edited on June 22, 2011 at 1:19 PM. Reason : carats]

6/22/2011 1:19:31 PM

I'd spend maximum $1,200 on a dog

and maximum $12 on a cat

We probably should draw the line at cancer.

Your dog has cancer? I'm sorry, but that's probably putting down time.

6/22/2011 1:19:47 PM

who the fuck thinks that paying 26 grand for a dog is a good idea? If you do holler at me, I got some air to sell to your retarded self.

6/22/2011 1:20:31 PM

i would also like to add that if these people have the monies then i am alright with it



the going into debt thing is the line

6/22/2011 1:21:07 PM

I mean yeah. If you have enough money to sprinkle diamonds on your food you have enough to fix your pets up of anything.

people are starving

there are children without the basics of medical care

and some asshole is asking for thousands of dollars for her goddamn dog

fuck her

6/22/2011 1:28:57 PM

The only things I'm spending $26k on is a house, sports car or a boat.

that's just ridiculous.

6/22/2011 1:30:34 PM

Dog is old, dog is in pain

Take it to the field out back, shoot it, cry a little when no one's looking, and bury it

6/22/2011 1:31:28 PM

It's not like they got a 26K bill all at once, though.


I mean, if your limit is $1000, how many times would you pay $500? I've spent over a thousand on each of my dogs easy, but that just counts food and toys and regular vet visits and whatnot.

that bitch of an owner ain't going to get a cent of my earned money on a dog I'd never be able to pet.


Get a job bitch so you can afford a dog.

6/22/2011 1:48:00 PM

I think 1200 is a waste. Also - I HATE when people call themselves mommy and daddy for a pet.

people can do what they want with their own money, and god knows i waste a lot of mine, but for perspective

It's pretty obvious that we're not talking about routine costs for dogs, so to even mention that is irrelevant. I mean off the top of my head I've probably spent between $3500-4000 on my dog in the 5 years I've had him (that includes the cost to purchase him, food, toys, yearly check ups and him getting really sick once). But that's just routine stuff that any person should be aware of before becoming a dog owner.

Sad, but stupid.

My family has a pug and I love it to death (he's 12), but the breed is truly a product of artificial selection. They have so many health problems, mostly related to their incestuous history. This dog is going to die, whether it's next week or a few years from now, and the owner will have nothing to show for it.

6/22/2011 3:47:05 PM

yeah, you don't just take the equity out of your home for a dog. shit...sell the house if the dog is worth that much to you. downgrade to a one bedroom (pet-friendly) apt., sell your car, get a 2nd job, sell some eggs/sperm, cut grass, wash cars, sell all of your shit on craigslist. you have options. just don't expect to get free money for a damn dog.

this dog = money pit
this person = crazy and obsessed

6/22/2011 3:52:42 PM

Carbine is an awesome name for a dog!

And my mom has always had pugs, so you got me on the sympathy factor.

But at the end of the day, it's a dog. And getting in $26k debt over it is just plain stupid
