Indeed!!!
She actually didn't pay $6000 for it. She paid $1000 for it from an ad in the Recyclers. I'm not upset that she paid that kind of money for it. I'm upset that she paid a for profit breeder instead of going through a shelter. Pic will come up shortly.

By the way, Fausto. When I started the thread, I had a feeling that either you or Red Dawn would be the first to sound the alarm. Must be a hot day in Modesto.
Motion to ban.

Seconded

3rd Motion to ban and kick him where the sun don't shine. :thumbsdown:

She asked if it would be easier for me,if she got under the car!
:heart::thumbsup:

I would have sex with her then and there.

Of course, you might have to jack the car up a little higher.

$1K isn't too bad depending on the breed. A show champion English Springer Spaniel is cheap at 2.5K. Remember, this would be a dog for breeding. A pup from two good dogs would be from 600 to 1000. Again, champion sired.

For a rat dog? NFW :p

$6k for a puppy. I'd break up with somebody who spent that on a puppy, no doubt about it.

I would literally break up with someone that financially irresponsible, even if i had that kind of money to blow.

Both for $600 from a breeder. Had them since 3 weeks old and they are now 3 years old. Both are housetrained and walk to the door and sit when they need to go out instead of barking unless no one is in the room. Oh yeah, chicks dig them. ;)

My guess is she's a real sneaky b1tch. She initially tell's you $6K so you flip out and pray to God she didn't really mean it. Then later she says $1K and you're relieved!

If She'd said $1K right up front you'd have been pissed, now here you are happy about it!

I'd say she's not as dumb as you all think. Look for a new girlfriend before she starts going through your money as well.

Defecate in a bag(big one- grocery style. Might take a while to fill), write 'IT'S OVER' in big letters on it, then set it on fire on her doorstep. Even better if she lives in an enclosed apartment building.

edit: You could always try to make that money back with dog shows. Westminster, here you come!!!

I can't imagine that a pet store would have such a pedigreed dog around.

Plus if she's not joking about all this, you're overlooking the fact that you and her talked over not buying a puppy from those stores. Next time she might buy a Special Edition Civic for $30k.

You mean an Acura?
