Come to think of it, though... it's run by Hulu, so I'm not sure if it works outside of the US. Let me know... I'm sure it can be put together on YouTube, too.

You could call it "Proof that cats are evil." The Kiltster was one of the best dogs ever, and the only one I ever saw (in person) waiting patiently at her seat at the table to eat her hamburger from the fork. Best mannered dog ever. I understand not wanting to let her go. Psycho-Kitty…. if you ever want to guest post about that, let me know. You could call it “Proof that cats are evil.”

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:51:34 +0000 http://www.caddicks.com/blog/?p=539#comment-92365 I have to admit, getting a puppy is like having a newborn for the first couple of months until it is house trained. I'm not going lie to you, I was moaning and groaning every 2 hrs. (even during the night) to take the pup outside and cleaning up the messes inside. And at the time, my kids were 8 and 4 when we got the dog, and they said they would 'help' with the dog. Well - they were nowhere to be seen when it was time to take the dog out! Now after 4 years, she is part of the family and is irreplaceable. She is also less trouble than the kids! She also forces me to get some exercise by taking her out. As for the costs... the first year was probably $800, that includes purchase price, spaying, required vet visits and dog food. The other years, maybe $200, which includes vet visits and food. That is less than getting a hair cut every month (you know what I mean). So, I'm out about ~$1500 over 4 years. After that first year, the animal is cheap. She is a great companion and friend --- not a bad trade off. The dog I had previous to the one I have now, contracted cancer in her 13th year. I spent about $3000 in treatments to keep her alive for another six months. In retrospect, I wouldn't do that again - not because of the money, but because of what it put her through. I was selfish and wasn't ready to let her go when I had the means to hopefully prevent it. Now, I would just try to make their last days fun and lovable - because that is all they want and that is all they want to give. I also like cats, except for the last one we had (Psycho-Kitty we called her). The bad thing about cats is that litter box - but that is the major difference between having a cat vs. dog that I have experienced. I am always amazed at the complications some people seem to have with their pets - either I've been real lucky with my pets, or its where they get their pets.

Glad you had a nice day. You know, it's funny... I realized earlier today that no one set off any fireworks around here. That's the first time that's happened since we moved here. Sounds great to me. Glad you had a nice day.

Went to bed at 10pm last night, woken by fireworks at midnight but went back to sleep again. Perfect way to see in the New Year, catching up on some much needed sleep :) I had a lovely quiet evening - it is 6pm 1st January 2009 here in Australia.

I was happy to find this example as well. My oldest is just now getting to the age where I think she might be able to understand some of these concepts. Guess it's time for me to step up and do something! Thanks for stopping by. Hope to hear from you again. Hi Magali,

Glad to see people are tacking the problem with creativity. If the average adult can’t handle their money, the average young adult is embarrassingly uninformed about financial matters.
