If you can't afford a puppy. . .

When Todd brought Sailor home that night with me waiting in anticipation, he stank to high heaven and had burrs all over him. Ugh!
We took him to the groomers the next day and they thought he was just adorable but mentioned he might have an ear infection.
Grooming: $30. (Add to amount spent already for crate, mats, toys, and food costs of $250
Vet: Yes, a pretty bad ear infection, plus he needs shots, and to be fixed, etc. Total: $405 but covers his office visits, and aforementioned items for the year
Total tab so far: $650.
Enrolled in Puppy Pre-school - $110 for eight weeks
Portable kennel (a life saver): 81.00
I got all the items on sale too!
Total tab now: almost $900
We feel better about about not getting him from a rescue as he was in poor shape with his ears and the burrs. and just found out that he now has a cold. Antibiotics: $67.00

Tab: $900 so far :(
