100%!!

I foster for a UK-based rescue, and moggies and mutts are the best! They are generally healthier and suffer from less genetic issues as they have a nice, wide gene pool compared to pure breeds. As a result, their insurance typically costs less and their lifespans are longer. Animals from shelters will also usually come neutered and vaccinated. Adopt don't shop!

There's no such thing as a "purebred". The word is "inbred".

My partner has a rescue French Bulldog who was a b***h at a puppy farm so that idiots with money could buy dogs that had built in genetic defects. Bizarre. She came to their family with all kinds of nervous hang ups, it took a year to get her settled and she’s now the loveliest little beastie, a snoring, farting Frenchie but she’s still the loveliest thing 😀 her partner in crime is a whippet / Staffy cross and he’s scared of rain, wind, in fact any weather that’s not completely calm and bland, leaves blowing around is cause for much upset! Adopt your animals, this is the way.

The Netherlands is the first country to have banned breeding and buying short-snouted dogs and cats ( such as bulldogs, persians) as well as some others breeds that lead to a lot of suffering in the animal. I'd say that's a very healthy step forward.( you can keep the animals you've got till they die obv) I'm not certain what makes people decide that the constant breathing trouble of their pet is "cute" and something to go for, but I'd love for them to take a long hard look at themselves ( and no, obviously no shame on people who adopted a pet who happened to look like that)

Or stop making up new breeds because your lab had an oopes baby with a poodle.

If you have a small child, best to get a kid-friendly dog, like a lab retriever, even though most dogs from the pound or rescues will be fine with kids.

Don’t shop, adopt. Or let an animal adopt you. Íve had 3 cats somehow know this is the place to get a good home. One pregnant one stayed here, one went to my moms and one was adopted by husband’s coworker! We paid the first part of little tortoise vet bill but couldn’t keep her so this kind lady paid the rest and took her in. All cats had great long lives. I know people who breed Irish wolfhounds. Not a very long lifespan😢

I don’t agree. I have Standard Poodles. There are countless ignorant and greedy people who cross poodles with other breeds, often mixed breeds, and call them “designer dogs”. Usually these people have NO clue about genetics and will breed anything male either anything female solely to make money. Usually their mongrel puppies cost more than purebred poodles from a reputable breeder who has spent years eliminating health issues from their bloodlines, and who understands and loves the breed. A good breeder cares about where their pups are homes and will take back a dog that the new owners can’t keep for some reason. Backyard breeders don’t. Their interest stops with the banding over of money. I’ve seen pups whose mother had a withered leg and whose father had behavioural issues - obviously picked up cheaply. Yes, I feel sorry for abandoned shelter dogs but I want to know what I’m getting so it’s purebred dogs always for me.

I always rescued until I wanted a bengal cat, so I got two and Pixel taught them how to cat. After all the shelters I have saved I don't want to hear about it.

Had a grandparent donate 200k$ when they passed. Left 10k$ insurance for burial to family. Would've rather seen it donated to cancer research.

Bitter, burnt, tar, more like it.

So true. I see people in the supermarket loading up with dozens of bottles when our tap water is 100 % safe and tastes better.

Just remember, they're all being paid to do it.

My 2019 model works just fine.

If someone is picking up something for you and delivering it to your front door in their own personal vehicle, you should be tipping them for the personal service you received. Tipping the kiosk at McDonald's, not so much.

1000000%. Spend it on yourselves, go on a nice trip or something.

Alpha Mouth Washes? What the hell is that, coolant/anti-freeze I assume.

Just get a old school double side safety razor. Like 50 cents per blade.

This is so true, they are all over the place where I live and they do nothing except offer false hope to vulnerable people.

I agree, but can you say "young and stupid", followed by "addict"?

Or one's on expensive items that won't cover anything. Like America Home Shield or Auto Shield

She looks like the real deal, she's got the beads and everything lol

I’m so f’ing tired of those PrizePics commercials!

Oxymoron Alert!

What is Balenciaga?

most major designers

I call BS. I work at a dealership and replace key fob batteries all the time. We charge about $5 to $6 depending on what battery it gets. And yes you can buy batteries cheaper but I know how to get the fob open without breaking it. $240 sounds more like a new fob, I think the OP wasn't clear on what they told the counter person they needed. You tell me you need a new key or fob and I will quote you a new key or fob, plus the cost of having it programed to the car. Some dealerships even give out new batteries in for free, we get them very cheap.

And the skin on your face will thank you.

Colored stones are so much prettier anyway. My favorites are padparadscha sapphires.

I've way more fun at home + no DUI

My reptile room had 10 different snake enclosures, one for a tegu and one for a beardie. I bought Cyprus mulch for the tegu and a few of the snakes who needed high humidity environments but other than that every piece of décor was found outside for free. Thoroughly clean and disinfect them and its good to go, never had any issues with my animals health.

She must really suck at Candy Crush to need that many power ups.

ALL tickets through Ticketmaster

Oy you leave my painkiller alone

What you talking about I have unlimited data?

making kids addicted to useless expensive stuff

It also has a lot to do with the banks here because they'll fully finance a new car but not a used car. However, I do agree.

Why the heII should a personalized individual delivery service be cheap?

which is why places give free refills. Once you've paid for the first drink they've made that 800% profit. You can't drink enough to make them lose money. Which is why you should never get the large drinks. Always get the smallest size possible when you're eating in.

But it smells so nice

That's a diesel pump handle.

The free ones are fine, rather like mine.

Yep.
