$2,666.88 grand total spent for the first year in our puppy's life. This does not include the hat, bathrobe and two throw rugs Levi chewed up. We also had two cages and a dog bed left over from our previous dog plus assorted leashes and collars that we were able to recycle for Levi's use.

I sure know what you mean! Those puppies cost heaps. But...income in terms of love, fun and renewed interest in life - a million dollars plus.
Don't total it or you might freak! hehehehe
But you're well worth the price, Levi!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
... and the love that you receive in return ... priceless!
hee hee - our mom says we're worth it 100 times over.
woofs.

It is amazing when we write down the figures just how much it costs to raise a puppy but it is sure worth it because our lives are filled with unconditional love.
