Pet's Are Spoiled

Alright, so I just spent $60+ bones, no pun intended, on my dog. Why are pets so expensive? And why would anyone spend that much money on their pet, especially if they looked like the creepy possessed little puff ball pictured below! I swear- $60+ bucks! That is so much money. That is equivalent to treating myself to a really nice meal.... And on top of it all, we have to clean up their shit! I mean come on. When I go on a date, I don't expect a guy to wipe my ass too. Well, I guess that's the beauty of having a pet. Man's best friend is worth it, in a codepent sickening type of way you've just got to love them.
