What is WRONG With People??

This was an actual conversation I had with somebody a couple of days ago -

A 'friend' was talking about her brand new puppy, a black lab. She mentioned that another friend had to pay $4000.00 when her dog ate a popsicle stick. This 'friend' said to me that if she had to put out that kind of money for her brand new little puppy that, truthfully, she would have to put him to sleep. I am not joking! She said she has to keep a roof over her head and what else is she supposed to do. Honestly, I was speechless. Once I got my voice back I told her that when you get a dog you never know what expenses he or she may incur. Much like a child. She said 'well at least there's insurance for your children'. I said 'well there is pet insurance'. Her response? There is? Seriously, some people have no business having pets. Or children for that matter.
