Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful (Ann Landers)

About 7 years ago, we made a choice. We bought ourselves a Poodle.


Initial costs: 600 Euros.

He has indigestion and can only eat freeze-dried raw pet food. Costs up to now: 5.000 Euros.

He has a problem with his eyes. Vet: 700 Euros.

He is a Poodle so he goes to the hairdresser: 1.500 Euros.

Bones, bowls, toys and leads: 200 Euros.

That makes a total of 8.000 Euros.

For that money, we receive so much love, fun, loyalty, physical exercise and protection (hm....), that we gladly pay our invoices.

For that money, we also could have had 8 dental implants, but who ever heard of a dental implant that carefully lies down on your tummy when you are drowning in self-pity?
