Emma cost me a total of $60, spayed. That was her purchase price. I spend more than $2000 PER YEAR , JUST in vet bills, to keep her alive.

She's a horribly badly bred dog. It's WORTH $2k to get a healthy dog. Honestly, it is. I love Emma, and wouldn't trade her for the world, but I will probably buy my next few dogs from breeders.
