Anyone else want to call me one? While me and my OH who has special diet needs live off £650 a month and I give up normal things like clothes (I walk round in £6 pants), I have not been to a hair dresser since I was 14 years old, I dont go out, my 21st birthday money has all gone on the dogs. So that I can give my dogs EVERYTHING when they need it.

So you tell me who in their right mind would want to live off £650 a month when they have to pay gass, electric, tax and food?

My animals have never missed vet treatment, never missed a vaccine, never missed out on toys every month, they get the best food, they have their monthly medication, they get health tested.

But yeah I am ******* rich arnt I?

I dream of a day when I can go clothes shopping!

She put this.....tbh odnt they think I want to work?

Right, you've both taken what I said about benefits at little OTT. I know more than you think about what it's like. I spend most of my life in a chair ... that includes sleeping.

It's not a competition about who's the most disabled, but I can tell you, as long as your voice works you can get a job. Sometimes I can't even lift my arms, but it doesn't stop me wearing a headset and working my ass off. You can make as many excuses as you like, but if you get down to the nitty gritty nothing would stop you working if you wanted to.

I appreciate you care for relatives SL, and even your OH. My hubby cares for me too ... and he works full time. I don't know what situation your gran is in, I imagine you look after her a lot. So this begs the question what will you do if you have a litter that for some reason needs your 24hr attention? Not getting at you, just wondered if you'd thought of that?

As for Scorchers problems, I stand by what I said I'm afraid. The poor love needs some help, and it sounds like it may well take time to sort. I'd hate for the poor love to suffer again if you get another pup.

Sometimes the truth hurts, I know I've had it thrown at me in a similar way many times. But you learn from it, and it makes you think long and hard about why you want something.
I would love to be able to buy nice stuff....or stuff in general.

Me too.. I'm worrying about being able to buy food this month...beans on toast for 30 whole days...great!!
I know the feeling.

Scorcher once broke into the fridge freezer and ate £100 worth of food...we couldnt replace it. I even tried to eat royal canin to see if it would taste good enough to last me the rest of the month....it tastes horrid. Mind you that was in 2009....maybe it tastes better now? :lol:

Well if you are struggling as much as you say you are why on earth would you want another mouth to feed and yet more vet bills?
Because we have enough money to afford another dog. I gave up fancy things to replace dog food, vet bills and health tests. One more mouth isnt going to make a difference. As for vet bills all our dogs are insured and I ALWAYS have money side for the excess of all 4 dogs.

I just read through the previous thread and think it was really unfair and cruel for those people to jump on you like that :( I think some people on here are too quick to judge other people and insult the way they live their lives...when my cat died in November I had previously posted on here asking for advice because she was looking poorly. She died suddenly the next day and when I posted on here was overrun with comments from people who claim themselves to be experts on here blaming Molly's death on the fact I waited two hours to call the vets. Long story but it really upset me...

Just ignore them, I know its hard after whats been said but your life is yours and those who have nothing better to do than question and insult your motives don't belong in it! :D

Err excuse me! I have read though both threads and I am flat out discusted by the way you've been treated. Your a full time carer so that means you ARE working for the money you've been given. Anyone who says otherwise needs a slap around the head :mad: I was a full time carer for a year to both my grandparents who were too ill to care for themselves. It was bloody hard! I had to lift/clean do all house work, dress and shower 2 fully grown adults who couldn't do it for themselves. Some people need a reality check. Being on benifits for being a carer is not sitting on your ass :mad:
