Even though he was just as much a pain in the rear as a puppy chewing holes in our carpeting and devouring my flip flops (always just the left one) as any old affordable dog. But he was trapped in a horrible mall pet store and if I didn't take him he was doomed to be adopted by some ninny of a person who didn't know the first thing about Shiba Inus and their ability to be pains in the rear and their propensity to run away all the time and he would have ended up run over dead or surrendered to a shelter for hopelessly untrainable dogs and I just couldn't allow it. They did take 30% off his original pure bred price tag, which originally involved one of the more reasonable numbers you mention above, but like I said, I paid way to much for him because I just had to rescue him from that pet store and certain doom! (Also he came to us before children, which meant our frivolous waste of money was at least a tiny bit more forgivable.)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780925204292056997noreply@blogger.com
