Would you give your pet away for a million dollars?

[SWTXBelle]

For a million dollars? Yes. I love him, but if he would have a good home, and I could then provide for my four children - Kaiser would get a new home.

This is clearly the worst thread in the history of the site.

Anyone who answers "No" and isn't already inordinately wealthy is an absolute moron.

Amen brother.

I don't have a pet, but if I did...yes, I think I would trade for a million.

In a heartbeat.

Sorry. I really like our pets, but a million is a lot of bucks.

[Senusret I]

Can I give them both away for a million each?

As long as I knew I wasn't selling them to their deaths, I'd do it.

[KSUViolet06]

I have had my cat since 9th grade, so it depends. If I knew nothing bad would happen to her and she'd be going to a good home, then yes I would. I couldn't trade her if I knew they were going to kill/harm her.

I know this will sound bad but, even if I knew they were being put to death.....for $1M.....take em!!! ASAP

I love pets, but I am not one of those people who thinks of pets as children.

Say you have kids, would you give your kids away for a million dollars?

No? Maybe now you understand the relationship some people have with their pets.

I think it's only something that people without human children can imagine because anyone with human kids isn't going to really love the dog as much.

But for those of us without kids, pets can be pathetic stand-ins that we enjoy spoiling with attention and love that they probably don't appreciate; the food and vet care, I think they appreciate.

This was my thought exactly.

Except.... Louie is at the kennel for a week since we are going on vacation and the office isn't open on Sundays so we had to take him yesterday, and I miss him like CRAZY!!!!

An animal isn't a 25$ investment.

My dogs cost me about $7,000 dollars last year, for food, medicine, vet bills, training classes, and animals don't generally have pet health insurance, so I would have paid more without. Not to mention the sleepless nights that I'm going through now because Tasha (my new foster) was abused in her previous home and howls all night. Or the sleepless nights after Boomer had his GDV surgery, or before we discovered Tips had eaten a sock and we had to wait for it to all pass. As they age, the cost only goes up as vet bills increase and we have to buy specialty items for geriatric dogs.

In return, I get unconditional love, companionship, and something that simply makes me smile. I understand that.

I don't understand the relationship people have with their kids, as generally kids aren't grateful, don't love you unconditionally, and cost the parents both money and their sanity. And everyone around who has to put up with the rugrat.

If it was a fish or something small like that, I would take the money, but not for a cat or dog, and in my case my cat. I wouldn't trade her for money.
