Ha ha! I’ve gone off the scale this month because of a horrible accident BUT… it is worth every penny. And there will be more pennies over the next few weeks. Lots more pennies. All well spent.

I really like this graphic! I wonder if it would be the same for us pet owners in Australia.

from our experience with Rufus, vet bills can be a killer. the rather large amount we spend on buying fresh meat, bones, vege and supplements for Georgia will hopefully work out in the end to cut down on her vet bills. we can only hope 🙂

anyway, perish the thought that we should stinge on our Princess! though her bed is getting kind of tatty. lucky i’m handy with a needle, sort of, in an untidy way.

i’m rambling. off i go. have a great weekend! do you celebrate thanksgiving?

Perhaps I’m about normal… Dog shows are a big expense for me, especially considering I sometimes travel up to 16 hours for special shows… So not just the show fees, but all the travel and accommodation expenses associated.

That graphic is really cool! I think I’m probably above average, but our girls are pretty darned spoiled. I doubt they have a collar or photo props budget for their graphic!

I think we spend more, mostly because we feed raw and they are both big dogs. But they are worth every penny!!

I guess I need to start putting my expenses in my mint.com account, then I’ll know with certainty what I spend on them. 🙂

It’s worth any cost. But I’m sure I spend more than the graphic says on toys and treats … and what about Beryl’s coats and collars? If that’s miscellaneous I’d be way up on that too, especially as that’s 0%:)

I am happy to know that I live in an area where humans spend more than the national average on their 4-legged friends. 🙂

Hmmm… I guess it depends on the month. Lately, we’ve spent exponentially more than the chart!

Based on this, Felix is actually two great danes hidden in a doodle suit.
