I agree and have implemented most of your money saving suggestion. Trade your dog for a cat? Really? LOL. Should I hold out for a few 1st round draft picks? LOL.
Yeah I feel the same, dog is a family member as children, should I also trade of my children for snails or hamsters or something less expensive? I would save a lot… I think you should make an interpretation of what you publish, it was a great place before, even you started to post somethings for vegans and made me really happy but this post…. is just a bad “copy and paste” nor you have worked to investigate a little in the consequences of some things there … for example, did you even think in the expenses of trading your well trained dog? will your cat be your alarm of defender?, or will your cat be sheepering around your lifestock? … I hope you you will create amazing content again soon 🙂
Dogs work for a living. Since when will your cat defend you, your home, or your livestock.
