Recent Article

I saw this article this morning and had to comment. I can't imagine spending $20,000 on a dog, but I've never been much of a pet person. I can certainly think of a better use for 20K.


We had some friends who poured over $5,000 into their dog. It was really a pretty pathetic dog, blind and almost bald. They were going to take it to the vet to have another costly procedure done and the wife backed out of the garage and ran it over on accident. You're a horrible person if you're laughing right now.


Now if you had a dog that needed a bone marrow transplant, you could go to the dog pound and get a new one for $100 and send $19,900 to Myanmar. Although most likely the money would just end up in the hands of the Junta. You could give it to Al Gore to help combat global warming, but it looks like we might have to shift and help combat global cooling. You could donate it to the Huskies athletic department to help them come up with the $400 million+ they need for a new football stadium, but would $19,900 really make much of a difference? Your best bet is to check out some options Brandi has. She's started about 45 campaigns in the past couple days to help raise money for different projects in Africa (and those are just a couple of them). Check out some of her projects, I think your pets would approve.
