I know Arsen. If I said I wanted this dog, he wouldn't give me too much trouble over it. He might try to talk some sense into me, but he always gives me what I want (within reason!) if it makes me happy.
The question about being able to financially afford feeding him made me laugh
This dog weighs all of 7 pounds. I buy my chihuahua the most expensive food on the market- none of the crap from the grocery store!
I also save money every month just in case he needs to go to the vet. (I had no problem dishing out $240 for an ultrasound)
We really don't have a lot of money at all, but when it comes to the important stuff, you find it or you use the "emergencies only" credit card.
He'd have my chihuahua for company. I only work 3 or 4 shifts a week for about 6 or 7 hours. Many of those shifts are at night and Arsen is home then. I also have a 10 day "vacation" every month.
I used to do pet adoption counseling at the animal shelter. I'd approve myself in a heartbeat. I just wish I never even saw this little old guy, because I don't want to set myself up for heartache- that's my only real issue. Then again, I feel like I never do anything positive for society. All I do is waitress and bitch.
I'd like to do something unselfish and good, you know?
