riptide - thats extremely easy to say when you have the means to care for them. i have 3 cats and a dog. right now, theyre healthy. but if one of them were to ever get sick, id be screwed. im a college student mostly living off scholarships and loans. but theyre my babies. right now, im counting on them staying healthy for a while and really wouldnt be able to afford medications if they needed them. i would find a way but still. just because right this moment i cant afford it doesnt mean im going to give them up.
